Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cables

Thorlabs manufactures and stocks a range of optical fibers and patch cables based on single mode sm polarization maintaining pm multimode mm or specialty e g photonic crystal double clad and rare earth doped fiber.

Single mode fiber optic patch cables.

This lc to lc single mode duplex os1 fiber patch cords operate at 20ºc to 70ºc and have a minimum installation bending radius of 5 0 cm and a minimum long term bending radius of 3 cm. Singlemode fiber optic patch cables come with a 9 micron diameter glass core. Fs offers full range of fiber optic patch cables cords with bend insensitive fiber design that support fiber optic cabling up to 400g. For use in the mid ir spectral range we also offer our irphotonics line of fluoride optical fiber in addition to our.

This indicates the glass core is nine microns in diameter. In singlemode cables light travels toward the center of the core in a single wavelength. Actually you may see singlemode fiber specified as 8 5 125 or anything between 8 125 and 10 5 125. 100 end face il rl tested.

Os1 cables have a 0 25 db km attenuation at 1550 nm and 0 35 db km at 1310 nm. This sm singlemode fiber has an yellow color jacket with a 3 00mm diameter. Fiber optic cabling and hardware products including single mode and multimode fiber patch cables of 62 5 125 50 125 and 9 125 and fiber distribution products used in high tech networking. The 125 is the size of the core plus the cladding 125 microns.

Singlemode cables have a core of 8 to 10 microns. Of course it s the core of fiber cables that carries the light to transmit data and the main difference between singlemode and multi mode fiber patch cables is the size of their respective cores. Choose from fc pc fc apc or sma connectors. Fiber optic patch cables single mode os2 duplex singlemode fiber optic patch cables are called 9 125.
