About:

A 2-meter fiber optic patch cord with 2 fiber cores, using OS1/OS2 fiber types, and specified with the code F923LSNSNSNM002, is a specific model or part number provided by a manufacturer. This patch cord is designed to be used in single-mode applications, as indicated by OS1/OS2 classification, which pertains to low-loss and high bandwidth capabilities suitable for long-distance telecommunications or high-speed networks.

Also Known As:

• Single-mode fiber patch cord
• Fiber optic pigtail
• OS1/OS2 patch lead
• Fiber optic jumper

Common Applications:

• Data centers
• Telecommunications networks
• High-speed broadband systems
• CATV (Cable Television)
• Local Area Networks (LANs)
• Wide Area Networks (WANs)
• Fiber to the Home (FTTH) installations

Standards:

• OS1/OS2: These are standard classifications for single-mode fibers. OS1 typically refers to tight-buffered cable mainly for indoor applications, while OS2 is usually loose-tube and used for outdoor applications. Both are designed to work at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength ranges, with OS2 supporting longer distances.
• ISO/IEC 11801: International standard for generic cabling systems.
• TIA/EIA-568: A set of telecommunications standards from the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
• ITU-T G.652: Standard for single-mode fibers.

Construction:

• Core: The central part of the fiber where the light is transmitted.

• Cladding: The outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into the core.

• Buffer: A protective layer around the cladding to add more protection and structural integrity.

• Jacket: The outermost layer that protects against physical damage and environmental hazards.

• Connector Type: The specific code (F923LSNSNSNM002) suggests a particular type of connector is used at both ends, but without the exact details, it's not clear what type they are (likely to be LC, SC, ST, or MTP/MPO).

• Strain Relief Boots: Protects the cable when bending or under tension to prevent damage.

Features:

• Low Insertion Loss: The amount of signal that is lost due to the addition of the patch cord is minimal.

• High Return Loss: The measure of light that is reflected back to the source, which should be minimal for efficient transmission.

• Single-mode Fiber: Provides a single path for light propagation, allowing for higher bandwidth and longer distances compared to multimode fiber.

• Durability: Resistant to bending, pulling, and environmental conditions.

• Precision Connectors: Typically come with UPC or APC polish for better performance.
