Know before you buy
The armored construction includes a protective metal layer beneath the outer jacket. This provides extra resistance against crushing, rodents, and accidental impact, making it ideal for high-traffic areas where standard fiber might be vulnerable.
No, this is a simplex cable, which is designed specifically for unidirectional data paths. You would need two of these cables or a duplex cable if your equipment requires simultaneous two-way communication.
No, this cable is not outdoor-rated, waterproof, or designed for direct burial. It should be used strictly in indoor environments to ensure the longevity of the fiber and connectors.
While this cable features 50/125 micron fiber, it is generally recommended to match the fiber core size of your existing network infrastructure. Mixing 50/125 and 62.5/125 fiber can lead to significant signal loss and performance issues.
No, this is a fiber optic cable, which transmits data via light pulses rather than electricity. It does not support PoE and cannot carry electrical power to connected devices.
