Know before you buy
The FiberShield construction makes this cable five times stronger than standard fiber optic cables. This added ruggedization helps protect the internal 8-core fiber from physical stress and potential damage during installation or in high-traffic data center environments.
Yes, this OS2 single-mode cable is optimized for both 40G and 100G network applications. It provides the necessary performance standards to maintain reliable data transmission at these high speeds.
No, this cable is specifically designed for indoor use. It features a Riser (CMR) jacket rating, which is intended for vertical runs between floors in building plenums or shafts, but it is not rated for exposure to outdoor elements.
This cable features a genuine US Conec MTP Female connector on one end that breaks out into individual LC connectors. The breakout section measures 24 inches, allowing for easy connection to standard networking equipment.
The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish is used on the MTP ends to minimize back-reflection, which is critical for high-speed single-mode performance. Ensure your connecting hardware is compatible with APC-polished interfaces to maintain signal integrity.
The 10-year warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's build quality and long-term reliability. It covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for permanent infrastructure installations.
