Know before you buy
The 50/125 micron designation refers to the core and cladding diameters of the fiber. This is a standard multimode size optimized for high-bandwidth data transmission over shorter distances, making it ideal for local area networks and data center environments.
No, this cable features a PVC jacket rated for general indoor use. It is not designed to withstand the moisture, temperature fluctuations, or UV exposure found in outdoor environments.
This cable is pre-terminated with LC and SC connectors, meaning it is ready for immediate plug-and-play installation. You do not need any specialized fiber splicing tools to set it up.
This cable contains four strands of fiber, allowing for two duplex connections. This is useful if you need to connect multiple devices or require redundant links between your networking equipment.
No, this is a multimode fiber optic cable. It is not compatible with single-mode hardware, as the core sizes and light transmission methods are fundamentally different.
