Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber?
Single-mode fiber, like this cable, has a smaller core (9 µm) and is designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth transmissions using a single light path. Multi-mode fiber has a larger core and is typically used for shorter distances within a building or data center.
What does LSZH mean for this fiber cable?
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen. This jacket material is crucial for fire safety in enclosed spaces like data centers, as it emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen compounds when exposed to high heat, protecting both equipment and personnel.
Can this cable be used with any fiber optic equipment?
This cable features SC-SC connectors and is designed for OS1 single-mode fiber applications. It is compatible with network devices and transceivers that support OS1 single-mode fiber and utilize SC-type connectors.
What is the maximum data rate supported by this cable?
This StarTech.com single-mode fiber patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel network applications.
