UNISOL Fiber optic patch cables provide high performance fiber assemblies that are fully compatible with standard coupling adapters and comply with reliability standards. The document discusses the main types of fiber optic patch cables - single mode and multi mode - comparing their core sizes, transmission speeds and distances, color coding, and applications. Single mode fiber has a smaller core and is used for longer distance transmissions while multi mode fiber has a larger core and is used for shorter distance connections like within buildings.

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.

downside of a multimode
fiber. Multimode is healthier
for long distances
