Fiber loss, also known as attenuation, is a characteristic of optical fiber that can be quantified to predict the total transmitted power loss within a fiber optic device.
What is 10 Gigabit Fiber Patchcord
10 Gigabit fiber patch cord is a kind of fiber patch cord made of enhanced 50/125um fiber, which can realize the transmission and reception of 10 Gigabit optical signals and meet the IEEE 802.3 standard with a maximum insertion loss of 0.5dB, and generally speaking the insertion loss is 0.2dB. In addition, 10 Gigabit fiber patch cord also has the advantages of large transmission capacity, small size and large transmission bandwidth, so it is widely used in 10 Gigabit Ethernet is widely used.
These sources of loss are generally wavelength dependent and vary depending on the material used in the 10GbE patch cable or the bend of the fiber, etc.
10 Gigabit fiber patch cords are manufactured using enhanced 50/125um fibers to ensure reliable 10 Gigabit data communication and to meet IEEE 802.3 specifications.
This fiber optic patch cord is optimized for high performance with a maximum insertion loss of 0.5dB and a typical insertion loss of 0.2dB, and meets LSZH low smoke and halogen requirements. It is designed for high density fiber optic applications such as backbone installations, horizontal zone cabling, high density cross connects, disaster recovery and industrial data control.
Types and materials of 10 Gigabit fiber patch cords
10 Gigabit fiber patch cords have a variety of classification standards, according to different fiber types can be divided into OS2 9/125 single-mode fiber patch cords, OM1 62.5/125 multimode fiber patch cords, OM2 50/125 multimode fiber patch cords, 10G OM3 50/125 multimode fiber patch cords and 10G OM4 50/125 multimode fiber patch cords.
According to the material of the cable, it can be divided into PVC (OFNR) fiber patch cord, LSZH fiber patch cord and OFNP fiber patch cord.
