Fiber Termination & Cables

Patch cords, terminal boxes, optical modules and fiber cables.

Quick answer

Fiber termination products include LC, SC and ST patch cords, terminal boxes and optical modules. Single-mode reach is up to 10 km or more; multimode OM3/OM4 supports 100 m to 550 m at 10G. Typical insertion loss is under 0.3 dB per connector.

Questions buyers ask

Are cables pre-terminated?

Pre-terminated assemblies are available for projects that need faster installation; field-terminated cables are also supplied.

Which connector polish should I specify?

UPC is common for telecom and data links; APC is used where lower back-reflection is required. The link design should state the polish.

Can lengths be customized?

Yes. Patch cord and cable lengths are made to order; project lengths should be confirmed before production.
