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.

Multimode OM1 Cable and Multimode OM4 Cable—Multimode cords are often used for shorter runs within buildings. OM1 cords support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 33 meters. They are used for Local Area Networks (LAN).

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.

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.

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.

Illuminating Glass Fiber Bundles

Light up small and hard-to-reach areas. These bundles are often used in fiberscopes and borescopes. They’re also good for lighting small areas in models, prototypes, and circuit boards. They transmit all colors of visible light and some wavelengths of infrared light.

For precise lighting, they have two layers—the outer layer keeps light contained within the inner glass core. Bundles with a larger diameter have more fibers, so they give off more light.

A separate light source is needed to illuminate them. Connect them to an LED strip or other light source using heat-shrink tubing or a fitted part, such as a ferrule. They’re not for use in telecommunication cables.

0.55 Numerical Aperture—Fiber bundles with 0.55 numerical aperture cover a smaller area than those with 0.66 numerical aperture, making them good for lighting angles that have less space.

0.66 Numerical Aperture—Choose fiber bundles with 0.66 numerical aperture for general purpose illumination.

Borosilicate Glass—Made of borosilicate glass, the fibers resist greater heat and transmit light better than plastic fibers.

Numerical Aperture—The numerical aperture describes the maximum angle of light each fiber accepts and emits. To send light efficiently, use a light source with an angle at or below the numerical aperture.
