Product type
Fiber optic cables are high-speed data transmission mediums made from glass or plastic fibers. They work by transmitting light signals over long distances with minimal loss, making them ideal for high-bandwidth applications. These cables are typically used in telecommunications, internet connections, and data centers due to their ability to carry large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
| Material | Glass or plastic fibers |
| Core diameter | 50 µm to 62.5 µm for multimode; 8 µm to 10 µm for single-mode |
| Cable type | Single-mode or multimode |
| Maximum transmission distance | Up to 40 km for single-mode; shorter for multimode |
| Operating temperature range | -40°C to +85°C |
When selecting fiber optic cables, consider the type (single-mode or multimode) based on your distance and bandwidth requirements. Specify the core diameter, as this affects the cable's performance. Additionally, inquire about the operating temperature range and any necessary certifications for your application. Always request quotes based on the required lengths and quantities to ensure accurate pricing.
