Tight Buffer Distribution Plenum OFNP Fiber Optic Cable, Multimode, OM4, Indoor/Outdoor

• Cables are water blocked and meet water penetration requirements of GR-20-CORE (this helps ensure that any damage to cable is restricted to a repairable length of several meters and minimizes the likelihood of having to replace the entire cable)
• Outer jacket is moisture-resistant, fungus-resistant and UV resistant for outdoor use
• With a plenum rating, this cable can be used in all environments: plenum, riser, general inside plant and outside plant
• Tested to meet or exceed EIA/TIA 568-A / GR-409-CORE
• Compliant to Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)

Applications

• ICEA S-104-696
• Telcordia GR-409-Core Issue II Weatherized Cable
• EIA/TIA 568
• RoHS/REACH Compliant

Spec Sheet

Multi-Mode cable commonly has a diameter in the 50-to-100 micron range (typical multimode fiber core diameters are 50 or 62.5 micrometers). Multimode fiber gives you high bandwidth at high speeds (10 to 100MBS - Gigabit to 275m to 2km) over medium distances. Light waves are dispersed into numerous paths, or modes, as they travel through the cable's core typically 850 or 1300nm. However, in long cable runs (greater than 3000 feet [914.4 meters), multiple paths of light can cause signal distortion at the receiving end, resulting in an unclear and incomplete data transmission so designers now call for single mode fiber in new applications using Gigabit and beyond.
