Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between OS1 and OS2 fiber optic cables?
OS2 fiber, like this cable, is designed for longer transmission distances and higher bandwidth applications, typically supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet over several kilometers. OS1 is generally used for shorter distances within a building or campus.
Can this cable be used with existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) equipment?
Yes, this OS2 single mode fiber cable is fully backward compatible with 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment. It provides a future-proof solution for networks planning to upgrade to 100GbE.
What does 'duplex' mean for this fiber optic cable?
Duplex means the cable consists of two fiber strands, allowing for simultaneous two-way communication. One strand transmits data, and the other receives data, which is standard for most network connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial applications?
No, this cable features an LSZH jacket designed for indoor, plenum, or riser applications. For outdoor or direct burial, specialized armored and UV-resistant cables are required to withstand environmental elements.
