Description
Cable assemblies are offered in a variety of combinations.
Connectors include SC, FC, ST, LC, E2000, MU, MPO/MTP, SMA, MTRJ,
D4, and DIN. 4.1mm, 3.0 mm, 2.8mm, 2.0 mm, 1.8mm, 1.6 mm, 1.2mm,
and 900μm cables in PVC, OFNR, LSZH, OFNP jackets, and G.652D,
G.655, G.657A1, G. 657A2 and G.657B3 @ single mode, OM1, OM2, OM3,
OM4, and OM5 @ multimode fiber types are available.
We have the patch cords you need to be stocked and on the shelves.
Choose from our large inventory of single-mode and multimode patch
cords. The Stocked Patch cords are available in the most popular
connector combinations. Assembled using reliable and durable
ceramic ferrules, you can choose between PC, UPC, and APC polish
finishes. Most cable assembly styles are available as either
simplex, duplex, or multi-fiber. Multimode cords are available in
either 50/125 or 62.5/125 versions.
4.1mm, 3.0 mm, 2.8mm, 2.0 mm, 1.8mm, 1.6 mm, and 1.2mm cords
include an outer jacket with 900μm buffer surrounded by Aramid
Yarn.
