FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables?
Single-mode fiber, like this Axiom cable, uses a smaller 9/125 µm core that allows only one mode of light to propagate, enabling longer transmission distances with less signal loss compared to multimode fiber. This makes single-mode ideal for backbone connections, telecommunications, and long-haul network runs where distance and bandwidth are critical factors.
What types of equipment are compatible with this LC/SC fiber optic cable?
This cable connects equipment with LC interfaces to devices with SC interfaces, commonly found in network switches, routers, media converters, patch panels, and optical network terminals. The male connectors ensure compatibility with standard female ports on networking hardware, providing a direct connection without requiring additional adapters for most installations.
How does the 9/125 µm specification affect cable performance?
The 9/125 µm specification refers to the fiber core diameter (9 micrometers) and cladding diameter (125 micrometers). This precise geometry optimizes light transmission in single-mode fiber, minimizing signal attenuation and dispersion over long distances. The 9 µm core size allows only the fundamental mode of light to propagate, resulting in higher bandwidth capabilities compared to larger core fibers.
What advantages does the crush-resistant construction provide?
The crush-resistant materials protect the delicate glass fiber inside from physical damage during installation and in operational environments. This durability prevents signal degradation that can occur when cables are routed through tight spaces, placed under floor tiles, or bundled in crowded cable trays. The construction maintains optical performance even when subjected to pressure from other cables or equipment.
