Product type
Fiber optic cables are high-speed data transmission cables that use light to transmit information. They are made from thin strands of glass or plastic fibers that carry data as pulses of light, allowing for faster and more reliable communication compared to traditional copper cables. Fiber optic cables are commonly used in telecommunications, internet connections, and data centers due to their ability to transmit large amounts of data over long distances with minimal signal loss.
| Core diameter | 9 to 62.5 micrometers |
| Cable types | Single-mode and multi-mode |
| Maximum transmission distance | Up to 40 kilometers for single-mode |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to 70°C |
| Jacket material | PVC, LSZH, or polyethylene |
When choosing fiber optic cables, consider the type of application and the required transmission distance. Specify whether you need single-mode or multi-mode cables based on your bandwidth needs. Additionally, pay attention to the core diameter, operating temperature, and jacket material to ensure compatibility with your installation environment. Always request information on the cable's performance specifications and any necessary certifications.
