FAQs
What are fiber optic distribution cables used for?
Fiber optic distribution cables are used for general indoor applications, connecting network equipment across a building or facility. They are sold by the foot or by the meter, allowing customers to order the exact quantity needed for a given project rather than fixed pre-cut lengths.
What jacket options are available for fiber optic distribution cable?
Fiber optic distribution cable is available with CM (PVC), CMP (Plenum), OFNP (Plenum), or OFNR (Riser) jackets, ensuring compliance with different installation environments. CMP and OFNP jackets support installation in air handling spaces, while OFNR is rated for vertical riser shafts between floors.
How many fibers are available in a distribution cable?
Fiber optic distribution cables feature 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, or 48 fibers. Fiber count selection depends on the current and future bandwidth needs of the installation, with higher counts supporting greater scalability for growing network infrastructure.
What fiber diameters are available for distribution cables?
Fiber optic distribution cables have a fiber diameter of 8.3/125, 9/125, 62.5/125, or 50/125 microns. Diameter selection corresponds to whether the cable is single-mode (8.3/125 or 9/125) or multimode (62.5/125 or 50/125), which determines compatible transceivers and equipment.
Are fiber optic distribution cables color-coded?
Yes, distribution bulk cables have color-coded fibers for easy identification and termination. This color-coding helps installers and technicians correctly match and terminate individual fibers within multi-fiber cables, reducing errors during splicing or connectorization.
What jacket colors are available for fiber optic distribution cables?
ShowMeCables fiber optic distribution cables are available in yellow, orange, and aqua jacket colors. Jacket color is commonly used to visually distinguish single-mode from multimode cable types across a network installation.
