FAQ
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber optic cables?
Singlemode fiber optic cables like this Axiom SCSCSS9Y-8M-AX use a smaller core diameter (9 µm) to transmit a single light mode, enabling longer transmission distances with less signal attenuation compared to multimode cables. Singlemode is ideal for long-distance applications such as connecting buildings or spanning large data centers, while multimode is typically used for shorter distances within a single facility.
What does the 9/125 µm specification mean for this fiber optic cable?
The 9/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the fiber optic cable. The 9 µm core is where the light travels, while the 125 µm cladding surrounds the core to contain the light within the fiber. This is the standard dimension for OS2 singlemode fiber, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard connectors and equipment while providing optimal performance for long-distance data transmission.
What types of network devices are compatible with this SC/SC fiber optic cable?
This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring SC female ports, including fiber optic switches, routers, media converters, patch panels, and optical network terminals. The SC male connectors on both ends provide a secure push-pull connection that is widely used in data centers, telecom infrastructure, and enterprise networks for reliable fiber optic connectivity.
How does the lifetime limited warranty protect my investment in this cable?
Axiom provides a lifetime limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal use conditions. This warranty ensures long-term reliability for your network infrastructure investment, providing peace of mind for critical connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications applications where cable failure could disrupt operations.
