FAQ
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber?
Singlemode fiber uses a smaller core (9 µm) to transmit a single light mode, enabling longer distances with less signal loss compared to multimode fiber. This Axiom cable features singlemode OS2-grade 9/125 µm construction, making it ideal for runs exceeding 550 meters where high bandwidth over distance is required.
What devices are compatible with this SC/ST fiber optic cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices featuring SC or ST fiber ports, including switches, routers, media converters, and optical network terminals. The male connectors on both ends interface directly with standard female ports, supporting various enterprise and telecom equipment in data centers or office networks.
What does the OS2 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OS2 indicates optical singlemode fiber category 2, specifying tight-buffered cable suitable for outdoor and long-haul installations. This rating ensures the cable meets performance standards for low attenuation and high bandwidth over extended distances, making it appropriate for backbone connections between buildings or across campuses.
Can this duplex cable be used for both transmit and receive connections?
Yes, the duplex configuration provides separate fibers for transmit and receive channels within the same cable jacket. This design supports full-duplex communication, allowing simultaneous bidirectional data flow essential for modern network applications without requiring separate cables for each direction.
