1 Meter 2 Fiber Opti-Core Optic Patch Cord Pigtail OS1/OS2 F923LSNSNSNM001

Product Information

Specification

About:

This fiber optic patch cord pigtail is 1 meter in length and includes two single-mode fibers. The OS1/OS2 rating denotes that the fibers meet the specifications for long-distance and high-bandwidth telecommunications, with OS1 being more suitable for indoor applications, while OS2 is used for outdoor applications due to its better water peak performance.

Also Known As:

• Dual-fiber single-mode patch cord
• OS1/OS2 dual-fiber pigtail
• 1-meter single-mode duplex fiber optic lead

Common Applications:

• Any networking environment where duplex single-mode fiber connections are preferred or required for data transmission.
• Telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in areas where duplex connections are needed for sending and receiving signals over the same cable.
• Data centers, for connecting servers, storage systems, and network hardware that require two-fiber connections.
• Enterprise networks, especially for connecting high-speed internet and network services.
• Backbone installations within buildings, or between buildings in a campus setting.

Standards:

• ITU-T G.652.D or G.657.A/B for single-mode fiber characteristics.
• IEC standards for fiber optic connectors and passive components.
• ANSI/TIA/EIA standards that relate to fiber optic cabling systems.
• ISO/IEC standards for structured cabling in communication networks.

Construction:

• Internal strength members such as aramid yarns (like Kevlar) for providing durability and tensile strength.
• A protective outer jacket that is usually yellow, indicating single-mode fiber.
• Pre-installed connectors at one end, which might be SC, LC, or another standard type; this is specified by the product code.
• Two single-mode fibers contained within a single cable assembly, typically indicated by a zipcord or duplex style cable.
• The opposite end prepared for splicing, without connectors, allowing for direct fusion or mechanical splicing to other fibers.

Features:

• The 1-meter length provides enough slack for easy installation without creating excessive loops or coils of cable.
• High return loss, important for preventing signal reflection and interference in single-mode applications.
• Low insertion loss with precise connector termination, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity over single-mode fibers.
• Duplex configuration allows for simultaneous, bidirectional communication, which is essential for many modern network applications.
• OS1/OS2 compatibility ensures that the cable can handle both traditional single-mode applications (OS1) and those requiring higher performance (OS2).
