Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cables

Thorlabs manufactures and stocks a range of optical fibers and patch cables based on single mode sm polarization maintaining pm multimode mm or specialty e g photonic crystal double clad and rare earth doped fiber.

Single mode fiber optic patch cables.

In singlemode cables light travels toward the center of the core in a single wavelength. Singlemode cables have a core of 8 to 10 microns. 100 end face il rl tested. With the cladding layer they are 125 micron and with the buffer layer they are 250 micron.

This indicates the glass core is nine microns in diameter. For use in the mid ir spectral range we also offer our irphotonics line of fluoride optical fiber in addition to our. Fs offers full range of fiber optic patch cables cords with bend insensitive fiber design that support fiber optic cabling up to 400g. Actually you may see singlemode fiber specified as 8 5 125 or anything between 8 125 and 10 5 125.

Os1 cables have a 0 25 db km attenuation at 1550 nm and 0 35 db km at 1310 nm. To prevent excessive loss attenuation you should ensure that you only connect singlemode cables to other singlemode fibers already in your system. Fs offers single mode duplex fiber patch cables for 1g 10g 40g 100g 400g ethernet fiber connections that can transport data up to 10km at 1310nm and 40km at 1550nm. The 125 is the size of the core plus the cladding 125 microns.

Fiber optic patch cables single mode os2 duplex singlemode fiber optic patch cables are called 9 125. Fiber optic cabling and hardware products including single mode and multimode fiber patch cables of 62 5 125 50 125 and 9 125 and fiber distribution products used in high tech networking. This lc to lc single mode duplex os1 fiber patch cords operate at 20ºc to 70ºc and have a minimum installation bending radius of 5 0 cm and a minimum long term bending radius of 3 cm. This sm singlemode fiber has an yellow color jacket with a 3 00mm diameter.
