connektgear 10m Duplex Fibre Optic Multi-Mode Cable OM3 50/125 Micron LC to LC Aqua

Used to connect active components of a fibre optic system usually from the front of a patch panel allowing very high speed communication<br /><br />A cost-effective solution providing lower loss and higher bandwidth along longer distances. Ideal for up to 10 gigabit ethernet applications.<br /><br /><b>Features</b><br /><br />- A technology that uses glass threads (fibres) to transmit data<br />- A fibre optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads each capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves<br />- Used for hubs and switches to communicate at very high speed<br />- Fibre optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables allowing them to carry more data<br />- Fibre optic cables are less susceptible to interferance than metal cables and are much thinner & lighter<br />- Data can be transmitted digitally (the natural form for computer data) rather than analogically<br />- LSZH (LS0H): Short for low smoke zero halogen.<br />- The low smoke aspect means in the event of a fire the cables will melt rather than burn a clear smoke is emitted instead of a very dangerous black smoke.<br />- The Zero Halogen aspect means most network cables are made with plastic containing Chlorine. In a fire a halogen-containing plastic material releases a poisonous gas that forms hydrochloric acid when it comes in contact with water. Chlorine -free cables do not produce dangerous gases or acids. This specification of cable would be required for environments such as Schools Government buildings MOD etc.<br />- A flexible moulded collar at the end of the connector protects the internal fibres from any undue stresses or strains
