Know before you buy
The FiberShield design incorporates extra PVC jacket material and DuPont Kevlar, which makes the cable structure five times stronger than standard fiber assemblies. This provides increased protection against accidental pulls or bends while maintaining enough flexibility for routing within network racks.
While this cable is optimized for 10G and 40G performance, it is designed for single-mode OS2 applications. Please verify your specific transceiver requirements, as this cable is rated for a maximum data rate of 40 Gbps.
This is a pre-terminated assembly, meaning the MTP and LC connectors are factory-installed and tested. It is designed for quick installation, allowing you to plug it directly into your equipment without needing specialized termination tools.
The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on the single-mode connectors minimizes back-reflection, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed, long-distance fiber networks. This ensures lower return loss compared to standard flat-polished connectors.
This cable features a Riser (CMR) jacket rating. It is intended for use in vertical shafts or general indoor environments, but it is not plenum-rated for use in air-handling ducts or plenums.
Each OptoSpan cable is serialized for quality tracking, allowing you to trace the assembly back to its manufacturing specifications. Additionally, the use of genuine US Conec MTP connectors ensures industry-standard performance and compatibility.
