About:

This is a 10-meter fiber optic patch cord that includes two single-mode optical fibers within its construction. The OS1/OS2 designation indicates that the cable is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, with the ability to handle long-distance and high-bandwidth data transmission typical of single-mode fiber optic cabling.

Also Known As:

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

Common Applications:

• Data center cabling to connect servers, storage, and network equipment
• Telecommunications links for central offices or field distribution points
• Structured cabling systems within commercial buildings or campuses
• Long-haul networking, including carrier networks and broadband access networks
• Last-mile connectivity in fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP), fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), or fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) systems

Standards:

• OS1/OS2: These are classifications for single-mode fibers optimized for high-speed and long-distance communication.

• IEC 60793-2-50: An international standard for optical fibers, particularly single-mode types.

• TIA/EIA-568: A set of telecommunications standards for structured cabling systems, including fiber optic cables.

• ITU-T G.652: The standard for the characteristics of single-mode optical fibers, which these cables would comply with.

Construction:

• Core: The central, thin glass or plastic strand where the light signal is transmitted.

• Cladding: The outer optical material surrounding the core that keeps the light within the core via the principle of total internal reflection.

• Jacket: A protective coating that defends against environmental elements, moisture, and physical stress.

• Connectors: Typically, the specific connectors are not indicated in the part number but would commonly be SC, LC, ST, or FC types, which are standardized in the industry.

Features:

• Low Insertion Loss: Critical for maintaining signal strength over the connection.

• High Return Loss: A measure of how much light is reflected back towards the source, which should be minimized for better signal integrity.

• Single-Mode Fiber: Suitable for high-speed data transmission over significant distances due to a small core diameter that reduces dispersion.

• Connector Quality: Generally includes precision-polished connectors (UPC or APC) for superior connection and low signal loss.

• Durability: Engineered to resist physical and environmental stress, ensuring a long service life.

• Standards Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with recognized industry standards to ensure quality and compatibility.
