Send data between data centers and workstations in fiber-optic networks. The thermoplastic outer insulation 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 thermoplastic insulation to protect signals and add flexibility. This cable is non-conductive, so grounding or bonding is not required.

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.

Multimode cable is often used to transmit data over short distances, such as within buildings and local area networks (LANs). It has a large core diameter, so it’s easier to terminate and install than single-mode cable. However, it has lower bandwidth.

OFNR cable is for use in vertical shafts and large facilities with multiple levels.

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.
