About:

This fiber optic patch cord is a 3-meter long single-fiber pigtail with a single-mode OS1/OS2 rating, suitable for network applications that require a longer reach and high bandwidth capability.

Also Known As:

• Single-mode fiber patch cord
• OS1/OS2 fiber pigtail
• 3-meter fiber optic pigtail

Common Applications:

• Campus and metropolitan area network (MAN) connections
• Inter-building fiber runs in large-scale enterprise environments
• Data center infrastructure, connecting servers and storage systems
• Telecommunications linking between central offices and external networks
• Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems
• Long-range fiber to the x (FTTx) applications

Standards:

• ITU-T G.652.D or G.657.A/B for low water peak and bend-insensitive single-mode fibers respectively
• ANSI/TIA/EIA standards for optical fiber communication and installation
• IEC standards for fiber optic interconnecting devices and passive components
• Compliance with ISO/IEC requirements for structured cabling systems

Construction:

• A single, high-quality single-mode optical fiber designed to transmit data over long distances with minimal signal loss
• A 3-meter length of fiber sheathed in a protective jacket, color-coded yellow to signify single-mode fiber
• A connector on one end, likely an industry-standard type like SC, LC, or FC, precisely terminated to minimize insertion loss
• An open end, prepared for splicing to another optical fiber or terminal device
• Additional features like strain relief boots to protect the cable during installation

Features:

• Specifically optimized for single-mode OS1/OS2 fiber, ensuring compatibility with standard and bend-insensitive fibers
• Pre-terminated connector for reliable connectivity and optimal signal quality
• Low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics critical for maintaining data integrity over long distances
• Enhanced physical flexibility due to the length, which aids in complex installations where extra cable is needed for routing
• Durability to withstand environmental factors such as temperature changes and mechanical stress
• Compliance with safety standards, possibly including flame retardant or low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) ratings for use in various environments
