Slim Specs Table

Low Smoke Zero Halogen Safety

The jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). This reduces toxic fumes in the event of a fire. It is suitable for indoor installations where safety standards are a priority. However, always confirm local building regulations before installation.

Optimised for 10 Gbit/s Links

This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It operates at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. The full duplex design allows simultaneous bidirectional traffic. In practice, this is ideal for switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections.

Precision LC Connectors

LC connectors provide a secure, push-pull latching mechanism. They are ideal for high-density patch panels. The UPC polish minimises back reflection. Therefore, signal quality is maintained over the 2 m run.

Single-Mode OS2 Performance

The OS2 single-mode fibre offers low attenuation over distance. It is suited for longer runs than multimode alternatives. The 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding meet industry standards. However, confirm compatibility with your existing fibre infrastructure.

Yellow Jacket for Cable Identification

The yellow jacket helps distinguish single-mode fibre from multimode cables. This reduces errors during maintenance. The round cable shape supports easy routing. Also, the 3 mm diameter fits standard cable management.
