2. UNISOL Fiber optic patch cable provides an extensive
line of high performance fiber assemblies. All
assemblies are fully intermatable with any standard
coupling adapter products and deliver high stability
under a range of application conditions. All cable
assemblies are designed to comply with Telecordia GR-
326 CORE standards for performance and reliability.

Overview of Optical Fiber Cable
3. There are two main types of fiber optic patch
cables:
1] Single-mode fiber patch cable
2] Multi-mode fiber patch cable
This post will make a comparison between
single-mode and multi-mode fiber patch cable
from four aspects: core size, transmission speed
and distance, color code, and application.

4. Single-mode fiber is a single glass fiber strand
used to transmit a single-mode or ray of light as a
service with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that
has one mode of transmission and is employed
for long-distance signal transmission.
Single-mode fiber capabilities best one
transmission mode will propagate commonly
1310nm or 1550nm. Compared with multi-mode
fiber, it should deliver better bandwidths; however,
it has to have a light-weight supply having a
slender spectral width.

5. • Multi-mode fiber is mostly used for
communication over short distances like
inside a building or on a field.
• Light waves are discrete into several
paths or modes, as they travel through the
cable
Core.
• Multi-mode links may be used for data
rates up to 100 Gbps.
• Multi-mode fiber core diameter is from
50 micrometers to 62.5 micrometers.
• The most transmission distance for MMF
cable is around 550m at the speed of
10Git/s. It will transmit farther at lower
data rates, like going about 2km at 100Mb/s.

Multi-mode fiber contains
a core with a bigger
diameter than single-mode

Modal distortion is the
offensively
downside of a multimode
fiber. Multimode is healthier
for long distances
