Know before you buy
While this cable is rated for outdoor use, it is not specifically armored for direct burial. It is best used in conduit or protected outdoor pathways to prevent damage from moisture, pests, or physical impact.
This is a singlemode cable, which is designed for long-distance data transmission with higher bandwidth capacity. It is generally used for campus-wide networks or connecting buildings, whereas multimode is typically reserved for shorter distances within a single room or data center.
Yes, the SC connectors are shipped with dust caps to protect the fiber end-faces from debris and scratches. We recommend keeping these caps on until the moment you are ready to plug the cable into your equipment.
Yes, the SC duplex connectors are industry-standard and will fit any device equipped with standard SC fiber ports. Ensure your hardware is specifically designed for singlemode fiber, as it is not compatible with multimode-only equipment.
Fiber optic cables are sensitive to tight bends. When routing the 40-meter cable, avoid sharp corners and maintain a gentle bend radius to ensure the glass core remains intact and the signal strength stays consistent.
