2 Fiber Optic Zipcord Indoor Multimode OM3 Riser Tight Buffered Cable

Also Known As:

2-Strand OM3 MMF Zipcord Riser Cable

Dual-core Multimode OM3 Indoor Riser Zipcord

2F OM3 Riser Tight Buffered Zipcord

Twin Fiber OM3 Riser Zipcord Cable

Description

"Zipcord" fiber optic cable refers to a design where two individual fiber optic cables are conjoined with a thin web or connective piece, making them look somewhat like the two parallel cords in a zipper.

The cable consists of two parallel fiber optic strands. Each of these strands has its own jacket, and they're joined together side-by-side, much like the structure of lamp cord or speaker wire.

Zipcord cables are commonly used in patch cord and backplane applications. They are also prevalent in desktop connections, where individual fibers need to be routed separately.

While the traditional zipcord consists of two fibers, similar constructions with multiple fibers joined side-by-side can also be found, though they might not be referred to as zipcord by all manufacturers.

The design of the zipcord makes it relatively easy to strip the jacket from individual fibers during the termination process.

Specifications:

• Multimode OM3: The fibers are multimode type, optimized for 850 nm signals. OM3 is designed for laser-optimized 10 Gb/s transmission over shorter distances, up to 300 meters, and can also support 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s up to shorter lengths.
• Riser
• Tight Buffered: Each of the two fibers inside is covered with a tight buffer, a protective plastic coating that offers additional protection. It also aids in handling during installation and termination.

Features

- 900μm and 600μm tight buffered fibers designed to support rapid termination
- Available in 2.9mm, 2.0mm and 1.6mm zipcord designs
- Available in 4.8mm and 2.9mm round designs
- LSZH constructions available
- Available with bend-insensitive single-mode and multimode optical fibers
- Flexible, flame-retardant and color coded outer jacket
- Supports all high performance networks including OM4/10 gigabit ethernet systems

Applications

Data Centers: For connecting servers, switches, and other hardware within the same floor or between floors.

Local Area Networks (LANs): Ideal for short to medium-distance data transmission within a building.

Backbone Connectivity: Between telecom closets within the same floor or different floors.

Desktop/Workstation Connections: Especially in office setups where only a pair of fibers is needed for connecting individual desktops to the central network.
