    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.
    Multimode OM3 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.
    OFNP Cable—ONFP cable is for use in horizontal shafts, such as in ducts and above drop ceilings.
    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.

    DIN-Rail-Mount Ethernet Switches

    Mount these Ethernet switches onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail alongside PLCs, relays, and power supplies—they snap in place and stay secure. They connect computers, sensors, and other devices to the same network so they can talk to each other, access the Internet, and provide you with real-time diagnostics. Switches do not require set up—just plug in a device and it will be connected to your network. These switches are backward compatible, so they'll work in networks below their rated transmission speed. For example, a 100 Mbit/s switch will work in a 10 Mbit/s network, but it will only run at 10 Mbit/s.
    Ethernet Switches With SC Fiber-Optic Ports

    Switches with SC fiber-optic ports accept multimode fiber-optic cords.
    For Multimode OM4 Cable—Multimode OM4 cords transmit further distances than standard Ethernet cables and with increased bandwidth. They are designed for high-speed data transmission applications, such as data centers. OM4 is backward compatible with older multimode fibers, allowing seamless upgrades in existing networks.
