Choosing the Right Fiber Optic Cable
Selecting the right assembly comes down to distance, bandwidth, and existing hardware. Use this quick breakdown to match your network specs:
- Multimode Fiber (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4): Best for short-range runs inside buildings and data centers. OM1 (62.5/125) and OM2 (50/125) feature orange jackets for legacy 1G networks. Laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 (50/125) come in aqua jackets and handle 10G, 40G, and 100G speeds over longer interior runs.
- Singlemode Fiber (OS2): Built for long-distance campus backbones and telecom links. Featuring a 9/125 micron core and a yellow jacket, singlemode fiber minimizes signal loss over miles rather than feet.
- Connector & Polish Types: We carry standard duplex and simplex patch cords with LC, SC, ST, FC, and MTRJ ends. Choose UPC (blue housing) for standard data applications, or APC (green housing) when you need angled polishing to reduce back-reflection in FTTx and video networks.
- High-Density & Specialty Options: Scaling up rack density? Check out our pre-terminated MPO fiber trunks, cassettes, and fan-out kits. We also stock mode conditioning patch cords for gigabit transceivers and bare pigtails for fusion splicing.
