Frequently Asked Questions
What does the water-blocking gel do?
The gel is a filling compound within the loose tube that prevents moisture from traveling through the cable if the outer jacket is compromised, ensuring the longevity of the fibers.
Is this cable suitable for indoor use?
This is specifically designed as an OSP (Outside Plant) cable. For indoor-specific requirements, please consult your local building code or installation requirements.
Can I order this in a specific length?
Yes, this product is sold per meter. Please note that the allowable cable length for shipping and billing is -0/+10%.
Is this compatible with standard fusion splicers?
Yes, the 50/125um fiber is standard and can be terminated or spliced using typical fiber optic tools and fusion equipment.
What does OM3 mean?
OM3 refers to laser-optimized 50-micron multimode fiber that supports higher bandwidths, typically used for 10Gbps data transmission.
