Imp fiber optic cable - lc-apc

This fiber optic patch cable is designed to create a singlemode FTTH connection between a fiber optic connection point and active equipment such as an ONT or modem within a structured cabling environment according to ISO IEC 11801. The cable is a simplex configuration with LC-APC (8°) connectors on both sides and is suitable for singlemode OS2 (9/125 µm) applications. The connection is an LC-APC to LC-APC fiber optic connection and is used in FTTH, FTTB, and FTTx installations in homes, offices, and technical rooms. The LSZH jacket makes the cable suitable for indoor use with low smoke emission and halogen-free properties according to IEC guidelines. The applied G.657.A2 bend-optimized fiber allows a minimum static bend radius of 30 mm without increasing attenuation.

The OM category determines the maximum data rate, bandwidth, and transmission distance. Higher OM categories offer better performance at higher speeds. • OM1 multimode fiber with a 62.5 µm core and a bandwidth of approximately 200 MHz·km. • OM2 multimode fiber with a 50 µm core and a bandwidth of approximately 500 MHz·km. • OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber suitable for 10 Gb/s up to approximately 300 meters. • OM4 improved laser-optimized multimode fiber with higher bandwidth for data center environments. • OM5 wideband multimode fiber designed for use with multiple wavelengths via SWDM technology.
