Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MPO and LC fiber connectors?
MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connectors support up to 12 or 24 fibers in a single connector, making them ideal for high-density applications. LC (Lucent Connector) connectors are smaller, individual connectors typically used for single-fiber connections. This MPO to LC fiber cable bridges both technologies, allowing you to connect high-density MPO infrastructure to individual LC-based equipment.
Is this OS2 fiber cable suitable for long-distance runs?
Yes. OS2 singlemode fiber is specifically designed for long-distance, low-loss transmission. With minimal chromatic dispersion and attenuation, this OS2 singlemode fiber patch cable supports distances well beyond typical data center patch runs, making it future-proof for network expansion and high-performance backbone applications.
What does OFNR (Riser-Rated) mean?
OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) certification indicates the cable jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between building floors. This riser-rated fiber patch cable complies with NEC Article 770 requirements, ensuring it won't propagate flames or produce excessive smoke in the event of a fire, making it compliant for in-building installations.
How many fibers does this 4-strand SMF cable support?
This cable contains 4 individual singlemode fiber strands. The MPO/APC end consolidates all 4 fibers into a single connector, while the opposite end breaks them out into 4 separate LC/UPC connectors. This configuration is ideal for applications requiring flexible fiber distribution and high-density connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks.
