Fiber optic cables are communication devices in which data is transmitted by a light signal over an optical fiber. This method provides very high speed, low losses, stable operation over long distances and resistance to electromagnetic interference. Therefore, optics often become the optimal solution where traditional twisted pair is no longer able to cope with transmission range or bandwidth.
Fiber-optic cables are purchased for building backbone and distribution communication lines, provider networks, and corporate LAN/WAN. They are used in data centers, video surveillance systems, industrial infrastructure, and facilities with high noise immunity requirements.
Fiber optic cable selection criteria
Fiber Type
Single-mode fiber optic cables are suitable for long distances and highways. They are ordered for lines between buildings, street routes, long connections on campuses and from providers. Multimode is more often used over short and medium distances, especially inside buildings and in data centers.
Number of fibers
This parameter is selected based on the required number of connections.:
- 1-2 point-to-point fibers, one communication channel.
- 4-12 - small nodes, high-rise highways.
- 24-48 - distribution by cabinets/racks, multiple services.
- 72-144 - highways, data centers, redundancy and scaling.
Execution and shell
- Indoor (indoor) - for rooms, cable channels, racks, crosses. Usually more flexible, designed for clean conditions.
- Outdoor - for outdoor use: resistant to UV, temperature changes, and moisture. It often has additional protective layers.
- Armored - for areas with a risk of damage: in the ground, in production, etc.
Connectors
They are selected for the equipment, port density, and switching method.:
- LC is a compact connector, standard for high density (racks, switches, data centers).
- SC - is common in SCS and cross-country, convenient and reliable.
- FC is a threaded connection, often found in measuring/laboratory and specialized solutions.
- ST is a bayonet connector, usually found in older installations.
- MPO/MTP are multi-fiber connectors for highways and high speeds in data centers (parallel optics), when fast switching of many fibers at once is important.
