Highlights
Used to connect active components of a fibre optic system usually from the front of a patch panel allowing very high speed communication
A cost-effective solution providing lower loss and higher bandwidth along longer distances. Ideal for up to 10 gigabit ethernet applications
• A technology that uses glass threads (fibres) to transmit data
• A fibre optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads each capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves
• Used for hubs and switches to communicate at very high speed
• Fibre optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables allowing them to carry more data
• Fibre optic cables are less susceptible to interferance than metal cables and are much thinner & lighter
• Data can be transmitted digitally (the natural form for computer data) rather than analogically
• LSZH (LS0H): Short for low smoke zero halogen.
• The low smoke aspect means in the event of a fire the cables will melt rather than burn a clear smoke is emitted instead of a very dangerous black smoke.
• The Zero Halogen aspect means most network cables are made with plastic containing Chlorine. In a fire, a halogen-containing plastic material releases a poisonous gas that forms hydrochloric acid when it comes in contact with water. Chlorine -free cables do not produce dangerous gases or acids. This specification of cable would be required for environments such as Schools, Government buildings, MOD etc.
• A flexible moulded collar at the end of the connector protects the internal fibres from any undue stresses or strains
