Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber?
Single-mode fiber, like this 9/125 micron cable, uses a smaller core to transmit a single light path, enabling much longer transmission distances and higher bandwidth. Multi-mode fiber uses a larger core for multiple light paths, suitable for shorter distances within a building.
Why is an LSZH jacket important for business environments?
An LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is critical for fire safety in commercial and public buildings. In the event of a fire, it significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases, protecting both personnel and sensitive electronic equipment.
What types of devices can I connect with this LC-LC fiber cable?
This cable is compatible with any network device featuring LC fiber optic ports, including fiber optic switches, network interface cards (NICs), media converters, and Fiber Channel storage area network (SAN) equipment.
Can this cable be used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections?
Yes, while rated for up to 100 Gbit/s, this single-mode fiber cable is fully backward compatible and can be used to establish reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, or other lower-speed fiber connections.
