    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

    Compare wire vs. cable and choose the right option based on gauge, number of conductors, insulation, and current rating.

    Fiber-Optic Cable

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Fiber-Optic Cable.
    Send data between data centers and workstations in fiber-optic networks. The plastic outer jacket on this cable is flame retardant for safe indoor use, and resists water and UV light for outdoor use. Because it works both indoors and outdoors, there’s no need for a transition splice when routing the cable into buildings. Each inner fiber also has a layer of plastic insulation to protect signals and add flexibility. This cable is non-conductive, so grounding or bonding is not required.
    OFNP Cable—ONFP cable is for use in horizontal shafts, such as in ducts and above drop ceilings.
    Single-Mode OS2 Cable—Single-mode cable is often used to send data between buildings. It has a small core diameter, which reduces signal loss. It transmits data over longer distances and has a higher bandwidth than multimode cable.
    OFNR Cable—OFNR cable is for use in vertical shafts and large facilities with multiple levels.
    Fiber Count—Fiber count refers to the number of optical fibers inside a cable. The higher the count, the more data you can send. You can branch each fiber into its own individual cable if your network demands grow in the future.

    Fiber-Optic Cords

    Connect computers, servers, and switches in a fiber-optic network.
    LC Plug × LC Plug
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Fiber-Optic Cords. LC Connection.
    Cords with LC connections have push-pull connectors that lock in place with a latch. Their connectors are about half the size of SC and ST connectors, so they’re best for devices in tight spaces as well as crowded racks and panels.
    Single-Mode OS2 Cable—Single-mode cords are good for long distances and often used between buildings.
    OFNR Cable—OFNR (optical fiber nonconductive riser) cords prevent the spread of fire from floor to floor within buildings. Use them in vertical spaces, such as shafts, between floors. They cannot be installed in plenum areas. These cords are corrosion resistant. They release heavy black smoke, hydrochloric acid, and other toxic gases when they burn.
