Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable operates in singlemode mode, which is ideal for long-range applications due to its lower attenuation and higher bandwidth capabilities compared to multimode fibers. The 9/125 µm core/cladding design is standard for singlemode fibers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices and transceivers that support this specification.
The LC connectors provide a small form factor that saves space in high-density patch panels, while the male connectors ensure a direct and reliable plug-and-play connection. The cable is constructed with durable materials to withstand the physical demands of data center environments, maintaining performance over extended use.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines critical features that enhance network reliability and ease of installation. Its singlemode fiber and OS2 rating deliver superior performance for demanding network applications, reducing latency and ensuring data integrity over longer distances.
High Visibility Design
The yellow color makes the cable easy to identify in crowded cable trays or patch panels, speeding up maintenance and reducing errors during reconfigurations.
- Quick identification
- Reduces installation time
- Improves troubleshooting

FAQ
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber optic cables?
Singlemode fiber, like this Axiom cable, uses a smaller core (9/125 µm) to transmit light in a single path, allowing for longer distances and higher bandwidth with less signal loss. It is ideal for backbone network links and long-range applications. Multimode fiber has a larger core and is typically used for shorter distances within buildings or campuses.
What devices can I connect with this LC/LC fiber optic cable?
This cable is designed to connect network devices that have LC fiber optic ports, such as switches, routers, media converters, and network interface cards. It supports standard singlemode transceivers and is compatible with OS2-grade equipment, making it suitable for enterprise and data center environments where reliable high-speed connections are required.
Why is the cable color yellow, and does it affect performance?
The yellow color is a common industry standard for identifying singlemode fiber optic cables, aiding in quick visual distinction from multimode cables (often orange or aqua). It does not impact performance but enhances cable management by making it easier to trace and organize in complex setups, reducing installation errors and maintenance time.
What does the 9/125 µm specification mean for this cable?
The 9/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the fiber optic cable. The 9 µm core is the light-carrying central part, and the 125 µm cladding surrounds it to keep light within the core. This size is standard for singlemode fibers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network hardware and optimal performance for long-distance data transmission.
