Lightwin Fiber optic cable

(Fiber to the Home). By using singlemode ferrules for the Lightwin multimode patch cables and specially selected ferrules with lowest tolerances for the Lightwin singlemode patch cables, attenuation values far exceeding the required standards according to ISO/IEC are achieved. Identical terms for fiber optic patch cables can include: patch cord, adapter cable, connecting cable, jumper.

A conventional electrical signal in a copper cable is disturbed by electromagnetic vibrations. In contrast, optical fiber optic cables offer better protection against interference and are also more secure against eavesdropping. In addition, the low attenuation of the optical cables allows long distances to be bridged. The LC connector is a powerful fiber optic connector for singlemode and multimode applications and features an insertion loss of only 0.1 dB and a return loss of 55 dB. The design of the LC connector is based on a single-fiber ceramic ferrule with a diameter of 1.25 millimeters for an optical fiber. The OS specification for an optical fiber defines the quality class of a single-mode fiber optic cable. The classification distinguishes between two classes (OS1 and OS2). The distinction is made by the level of optical attenuation and the possible transmission rate and distance.
