2 Core LC-LC Optical Fiber Patch Cable

Description

What is 2-core Single-mode fiber optic patch cord?

A 2-core fiber optic cable encompasses two distinct optical fibers within its structure. Each fiber independently transmits data, enhancing the system's overall capacity and providing redundancy in fiber optic communications. This cable type is frequently employed in fields such as telecommunications, data transfer networks, and various high-bandwidth endeavors.

The item in discussion is a single-mode, dual-core optical fiber jumper. It features a diameter of 3mm and a length of 3m. The jumper uses an LC interface, prevalent in routers and switches, and incorporates a ceramic ferrule. Its notable characteristics include low insertion loss, commendable repeatability, substantial return loss, and excellent performance in both inter-insertion and temperature stability. The cable's robust tensile strength makes it particularly apt for enduring both sustained and abrupt forces in fiber optic communication scenarios.

Single-mode cables enable light transmission through a solitary path within the optical fiber, making them ideal for long-range data communication. A dual-core configuration implies the presence of two single-core fibers. Fiber optic jumpers serve as connecting links between equipment and fiber optic cabling systems. These jumpers are sheathed in thick protective layers and find widespread use in fiber optic communication systems, access networks, data transmission, and local area networks.

The essence of fiber cables lies in their ability to carry light for data transmission. The primary distinction between Singlemode and Multi-mode fiber patch cables is the size of their cores. Singlemode cables possess a core measuring between 8 to 10 microns. In these cables, light travels centrally in a single wavelength, facilitating longer distance signal transmission without quality degradation, a feature not as prevalent in Multi-mode cables. Typically, Singlemode cables are identified by their yellow color coding.

Multi-mode cables, on the other hand, have a core size of either 50 or 62.5 microns. The larger core of Multi-mode cables captures more light and reflects it off the core, enabling the transmission of more signals. While more cost-effective than Singlemode, Multi-mode cables do not preserve signal quality over extended distances. These cables are usually distinguished by orange or aqua color coding.

Specification Overview

Superior and Economical 9/125μm Single Mode Bend Insensitive Fiber Optic Cable

The 9/125μm OS2 single mode bend insensitive fiber optic cable exhibits reduced signal loss when subjected to bending or twisting, surpassing conventional optical fiber cables. This characteristic enhances the efficiency of installation and maintenance processes. Moreover, it contributes to space optimization in high-density wiring environments such as data centers, corporate network infrastructures, telecommunications hubs, server clusters, cloud data storage systems, and in linking pre-terminated modules across main, horizontal, and equipment distribution zones.

This specific 9/125 OS2 single mode fiber optic cable is perfectly suited for establishing 1G/10G/25G/40G/100G/400G Ethernet networks. It boasts the capability to transmit data over distances up to 10km at 1310nm, or up to 40km at 1550nm.
