About:

This 9-meter-long patch cord is comprised of two single-mode fibers, which are designed for precision optical data transmission. The OS1/OS2 rating suggests that it can handle both indoor (OS1) and outdoor (OS2) environments, making it suitable for a variety of long-range, high-bandwidth networking tasks.

Also Known As:

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

Common Applications:

• Linking servers, switches, and other telecommunications equipment in a data center
• Structured cabling systems as part of the backbone or horizontal cabling
• Fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) applications within corporate environments
• Connecting hardware in fiber to the home (FTTH) or fiber to the building (FTTB) installations
• Long-distance communications, including undersea cable systems and terrestrial long-haul networks
• Backhaul networks for mobile base stations or internet service providers

Standards:

• OS1/OS2: Standards that denote the performance level of single-mode fiber optic cables.

• IEC 60793-2-50: Specifies optical fiber classifications.

• TIA/EIA-568: The telecommunications standard which includes guidelines for fiber optic cabling.

• ITU-T G.652: The standard detailing the attribute of single-mode optical fibers.

Construction:

• Core: The central thin strand of glass where the light signal is transmitted.

• Cladding: A layer of material around the core that reflects light back into the core to prevent signal loss.

• Jacket: An outer protective layer that guards against environmental damage, moisture, and physical stress.

• Connectors: Termination points for the patch cord, likely to be standard types such as LC, SC, or ST, although the part number does not specify the connector type.

Features:

• Low Insertion Loss: Ensures efficient transmission of the optical signal with minimal loss at connection points.

• High Return Loss: Reduces the reflection of light back towards the source, which is crucial for maintaining signal clarity and reducing noise.

• Single-Mode Fibers: Optimized for long-distance and high-bandwidth data transmission, with a narrow core that allows light to enter at a single angle.

• Precision Polished Connectors: Ensures optimal connection and performance, typically with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) or APC (Angled Physical Contact) polishes.

• Durability: Crafted to withstand the installation process and environmental factors without degradation in performance.

• Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with industry standards for safety and performance.
