Application Scenarios & Recommended Models

1. High-Speed Industrial Ethernet (10Gbps)

  • Requirement: OM3 multi-mode, LC-LC interfaces, short length
  • Recommended Model: 1185475 (FOC-LC:PA-LC:PA-OM3:D01/2)
  • Key Reason: OM3 fiber supports 10Gbps transmission; LC interfaces are standard for high-speed industrial switches

2. Long-Distance Communication (Up to 10km)

  • Requirement: OS2 single-mode, LC/SC interfaces, flexible length
  • Recommended Models: 1115618 (1m, LC-SC), 1115626 (5m, LC-LC)
  • Key Reason: OS2 single-mode minimizes signal loss for long distances; PA polishing ensures stable connections

5. Cabinet-Internal Device Links

  • Requirement: Short length, compact interfaces (LC-LC)
  • Recommended Models: 1115636 (1m, OS2 LC-LC), 1115633 (1m, OM2 LC-LC)
  • Key Reason: Ultra-short length reduces cable clutter; LC interfaces save space

6. Mixed Interface Connections (LC-SC/ST-SC)

Core Advantages

  • Multi-Grade Fiber Support: Covers OM1/OM2/OM3 multi-mode and OS2 single-mode, adapting to speed/distance requirements
  • Diverse Interface Options: LC/SC/ST/PT9/SJ-14 connectors match most industrial fiber optic devices
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Wide temperature range (-40℃~85℃) and ruggedized options for harsh environments

  • Flexible Lengths: 1m~10m options fit cabinet-internal, short-distance, and extended-reach scenarios
  • Safety Compliance: LSZH/PVC jackets meet fire safety standards for industrial facilities

Installation & Usage Notes

  • Fiber Matching: Ensure fiber grade (OM1/OM2/OM3/OS2) matches the device’s optical interface (multi-mode ↔ multi-mode, single-mode ↔ single-mode)
  • Connector Cleaning: Clean connectors with a fiber optic cleaning kit before installation to avoid signal degradation
  • Bending Care: Avoid exceeding minimum bending radius; do not twist or crush the cable
  • Length Selection: Choose the shortest necessary length to minimize signal loss (add 0.5~1m margin for routing)
  • Rugged Use: For outdoor/harsh environments, select IP67-rated models (e.g., SJ-14) to prevent water/dust ingress
  • Compatibility Check: Verify connector types match device ports (e.g., LC connector → LC port) to avoid connection issues
