FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables?
Single-mode fiber, like this Axiom cable, uses a smaller core (9/125 µm) to transmit light in a single path, allowing for longer distances with less signal loss—ideal for connections over hundreds of meters or kilometers. Multimode fiber has a larger core and is typically used for shorter distances within buildings. This cable's single-mode design makes it suitable for backbone networks and data center interconnects.
What types of network devices are compatible with this MPO fiber optic cable?
This cable is compatible with any network device equipped with MPO interfaces, such as switches, routers, optical transceivers, and patch panels. It supports common network standards including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet. The female-to-male connector configuration allows direct connections between MPO ports without adapters, simplifying installations in data centers and enterprise networks.
How does the locking latch feature improve network reliability?
The locking latch on the MPO connectors physically secures the connection, preventing it from being accidentally unplugged due to vibration, cable tension, or human error. This reduces downtime and maintenance needs, ensuring stable network performance in high-traffic environments like server rooms or data centers. It's a critical feature for mission-critical applications where connection integrity is paramount.
Is this cable suitable for use in plenum spaces?
Yes, this cable features a flame-retardant jacket that meets safety standards for plenum and riser applications. The jacket material inhibits flame spread and reduces smoke emission, complying with building codes for installations in air-handling spaces. This makes it a safe choice for enterprise environments where fire safety regulations are strictly enforced.
