Fibrain patchcords are strengthened, thus they are resistant to mechanical damages, contrary to ordinary patchcords. PA0 – for cables terminated with a single fiber optic connector.
Fibrain cross-connect drop cable patchcords are specifically designed to be used in FTTH networks, between a customer outlet and an ONT equipment. Fibrain patchcords are strengthened, thus they are resistant to mechanical damages, contrary to ordinary patchcords. Therefore, each cable is constructed from flame-retardant materials, which do not emit any poisonous substances and toxic smoke (LSOH). Depending on a number of terminated fibers and a cable, the connector is clamped directly on the cable’s sheath or performed as a short fanout. PA0 – for cables terminated with a single fiber optic connector.
Each type of single-mode fiber has its own area of application, and the evolution of these optical fiber specifications reflects the evolution of transmission system technology from the earliest installation of single-mode optical fiber to the present day. Choose the right fiber is very important for each project/installation. The OS2 G.657 standard single-mode fibers were developed to allow a better bending radius regarding the G.652 standard. For the OS2 G.657 fiber there are 4 subcategories: G.657.A1, G.657.A2, G.657.B2, G.657.B3.
The G.657.A2 fiber type is characterized by 7.5 mm minimum bending radius. These specifications of the G657 fibers allow to have a better cost-efficiency due to compact cable designs and reduced space requirements. Find some benefits when using the G.657.A2 fiber type:
SC FO Connector is a type of fiber optic connector that uses a 2.5mm ceramic ferrule to align and connect optical fibers. Used in high-speed data communication networks. Provides low insertion loss and high return loss. The connector is easy to install and provides a secure, reliable connection for both single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables. Its locking mechanism ensures a stable connection and the push-pull design makes it easy to connect and disconnect. The SC connector is commonly used in data centers, telecommunication rooms, and other high-density fiber optic installations.
PC (Physical Contact), is a type of polishing procedure that makes flat surfacein the ferrule end face. The optical return loss of PC connectors is >-40dB. PC connectors may only be mated with other PC or UPC connectors. It can be identified by the blue boot and is used in single-mode and multi-mode fibers. This polishing procedure is outdated and is replaced by UPC.
