12 Strand Single Mode Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for high bandwidth, long distance fiber optic networks where performance, reliability, and future scalability are essential. Featuring OS2 single mode optical fibers in a round loose tube design, this cable delivers dependable signal transmission for today's high speed networking applications while supporting future network upgrades.
Designed for indoor plenum installations, the durable OFNP rated jacket meets strict fire safety requirements for installation in air handling spaces. The loose tube construction helps protect the optical fibers from stress during installation, making this cable an excellent choice for fiber backbone cabling, pigtails, patch cable assemblies, equipment interconnections, and professional fiber optic terminations.
Compatible with standard single mode LC, SC, and ST fiber optic connectors, this cable supports 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications for data centers, enterprise networks, telecommunications, campuses, and commercial buildings. Manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards and UL Listed for added confidence, Elite Cable provides the performance and reliability professionals depend on for mission critical fiber optic installations.
Q: What is single mode fiber used for?
A: Single mode fiber is designed for long distance, high bandwidth network connections and is commonly used in enterprise networks, telecommunications, campuses, hospitals, and data centers.
Q: What does 12 strand fiber mean?
A: A 12 strand fiber cable contains twelve individual optical fibers within one cable, allowing multiple network connections while providing capacity for future expansion or redundant links.
Q: What is loose tube fiber optic cable?
A: Loose tube fiber places the optical fibers inside protective buffer tubes, allowing them to move slightly within the cable. This design helps reduce stress on the fibers and provides excellent long term reliability.
Q: What does OFNP mean?
A: OFNP stands for Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum. This is the highest fire safety rating for fiber optic cable and is approved for installation in plenum air handling spaces where permitted by local building codes.
Q: Can this fiber optic cable be installed in plenum spaces?
A: Yes. The OFNP jacket is specifically designed for installation in plenum air handling spaces while meeting strict fire safety requirements.
Q: What connectors can be used with this fiber cable?
A: This cable is commonly terminated with standard single fiber connectors including LC, SC, and ST connectors for a wide variety of networking applications.
Q: Can this cable be used to make fiber pigtails and patch cables?
A: Yes. This cable is well suited for manufacturing custom fiber pigtails, patch cables, equipment interconnections, and other fiber optic assemblies.
Q: What network speeds does this fiber support?
A: When installed with compatible networking equipment, this single mode fiber supports 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications, along with many higher bandwidth optical networking technologies.
Q: Is this cable suitable for indoor installations?
A: Yes. This OFNP fiber optic cable is designed specifically for indoor installations, including commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, offices, and data centers.
Q: Can this cable be used between networking equipment?
A: Yes. It is commonly used for interconnections between switches, routers, patch panels, optical distribution frames, and other fiber optic networking equipment.
Q: Why choose single mode fiber over copper Ethernet cable?
A: Single mode fiber supports much longer transmission distances, greater bandwidth, and complete immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for high performance network backbones.
Q: Is fiber optic cable affected by electromagnetic interference?
A: No. Because fiber transmits data using light instead of electricity, it is immune to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
Q: Is this fiber optic cable UL Listed?
A: Yes. This cable is UL Listed to help ensure compliance with recognized industry safety requirements for fiber optic cabling.
Q: Is this cable suitable for professional installations?
A: Yes. This 12 strand single mode OFNP fiber optic cable is trusted by network installers, fiber technicians, contractors, and data center professionals for high performance indoor fiber optic installations.
