Optical Cable - Computer & Network Cables

Welcome to our comprehensive selection of optical cables in the computer & network cables category! Optical cables, also known as fiber optic cables, play a crucial role in modern communication networks by transmitting data signals using light pulses. This category is dedicated to providing you with high-quality optical cables designed to deliver reliable and high-speed data transmission for various applications.

Benefits of Optical Cables

Optical cables offer several advantages over traditional copper cables, making them ideal for demanding networking and communication environments. Here are some key benefits of optical cables:

High-Speed Data Transmission

Optical cables utilize light signals to transmit data, allowing for significantly higher data transmission speeds compared to copper cables. This makes optical cables ideal for applications that require high bandwidth and low latency, such as data centers, telecommunications networks, and high-performance computing systems.

Immunity to Electromagnetic Interference

Unlike copper cables, optical cables are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), making them ideal for use in environments with high levels of electromagnetic noise, such as industrial settings or areas with heavy electrical equipment.

Long-Distance Transmission

Optical cables can transmit data over much longer distances than copper cables without experiencing signal degradation. This makes optical cables suitable for establishing reliable long-distance connections in telecommunications networks, submarine cables, and metropolitan area networks.

Types of Optical Cables

Our selection of optical cables encompasses various types and configurations to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Whether you require single-mode or multi-mode fibers, indoor or outdoor cables, we offer a range of options to suit your specific requirements.

Single-Mode Fiber Cables

Single-mode fiber cables are designed for long-distance transmission over single-mode fibers, which have a smaller core diameter and allow for the transmission of light signals over greater distances with minimal signal loss. These cables are ideal for telecommunications networks, long-haul connections, and high-speed data transmission applications.

Multi-Mode Fiber Cables

Multi-mode fiber cables are optimized for short to medium-distance transmission over multi-mode fibers, which have a larger core diameter and support the transmission of multiple light signals simultaneously. These cables are commonly used in local area networks (LANs), data centers, and campus networks.

Indoor and Outdoor Cables

Optical cables are available in both indoor and outdoor configurations, each designed to withstand specific environmental conditions and installation requirements. Indoor cables are typically designed for use in controlled environments such as office buildings and data centers, while outdoor cables are ruggedized to withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions and environmental factors.

Choosing the Right Optical Cable

When selecting an optical cable, it's essential to consider factors such as fiber type, cable construction, connector types, and installation requirements. Here are some considerations to help you choose the right optical cable for your application:

Fiber Type

Determine whether your application requires single-mode or multi-mode fibers based on the distance and bandwidth requirements. Single-mode fibers are suitable for long-distance transmission, while multi-mode fibers are ideal for shorter distances and higher bandwidth applications.

Cable Construction

Choose the appropriate cable construction based on your installation environment and requirements. Indoor cables are designed for use in controlled indoor environments, while outdoor cables are ruggedized for outdoor installations and exposure to harsh conditions.

Connector Types

Select the connector types based on your equipment and compatibility requirements. Common connector types include LC, SC, ST, and MTP/MPO connectors, each offering different advantages in terms of performance, size, and ease of installation.
