Product Information

Specification

About:

This product is a 6-meter-long fiber optic patch cord with two single-mode fibers. It's designed for high-performance data transmission in telecommunications and network applications, suitable for OS1/OS2 fiber types which are optimized for long-distance and high-bandwidth connections.

Also Known As:

• Single-mode fiber optic patch lead
• Optical fiber pigtail
• Fiber optic jumper
• SM fiber patch cable

Common Applications:

• Data center networking to connect fiber patch panels, servers, switches, and storage
• Telecommunications for linking signal distribution points to central offices or customer premises
• In-building backbone cabling to interconnect floors or departments
• Connecting equipment in FTTH (fiber to the home), FTTP (fiber to the premises), FTTB (fiber to the building) applications
• Long-haul networking to connect geographically dispersed locations
• Campus backbones for educational or corporate campuses

Standards:

• OS1/OS2: Classification for single-mode fibers with OS1 typically used indoors and OS2 for outdoor or long-haul applications due to its lower attenuation and higher distance capabilities.
• IEC 60793-2-50: International standard for the classification and specification of single-mode optical fibers.
• TIA/EIA-568: A set of telecommunications standards from the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) for structured cabling systems.
• ITU-T G.652: Standard for single-mode fibers, providing recommendations on their characteristics and performance.

Construction:

• Core: This is the thin glass center of the fiber where the light for data transmission passes through.

• Cladding: The optical material surrounding the core that reflects light back into the core to keep it from escaping.

• Jacket: Protective external sheath that shields the fiber from physical damage and environmental elements.

• Connectors: The product part number doesn't specify the connector type, but it could typically include LC, SC, FC, or ST connectors, which are standard in the industry.

Features:

• Low Insertion Loss: To ensure minimal signal loss when optical connections are made.

• High Return Loss: To prevent signal reflection which can cause transmission issues.

• Single-Mode Fiber: Capable of carrying signals at high speeds over long distances.

• Precise Connector Polish: UPC or APC finishes on the connectors to ensure good physical contact and minimal return loss.

• Environmental Resistance: Designed to withstand temperature variations, UV exposure, and other environmental factors if the jacket material is rated for such conditions.

• Durability: Constructed to be durable while still flexible enough to be routed through cable management systems.
