Installation
This cable can be used for LAN and WAN backbones, telecom access lines, fibre to business and fibre to the building or the homme connections. It is equally suited for installation in ducts and on trays. This cable features a 0.15mm corrugated steel armour which makes it rodent proof.
Usage
Optical fiber cables offer a higher bandwidth than copper (10 to 12 copper cable for 1 optical fiber cable), and cover a higher distance for the same bandwidth than copper (for a 10 Gigabits bandwidth 90m for copper cable vs 10Km for an OS2 optical fiber cable). Also since optical fiber carries light instead of electricity (as in copper cable) it insensible to lighting strikes or electrical faults. It does not corrode or rust. as a result fiber reduces maintenance cost and has a proven record of reliability in the field.
Advantages
Signal light intensity decreases over a given distance. Legrand optical fibers are amongst of the best in the market to keep that attenuation at a minimum. At 1550nm attenuation is inferior at 0.25 dB/km.
When a fiber is bent or coiled, the light prefers to carry on in a straight line so tends to want to shoot right out the cladding at a bend. Legrand optical fibers are amongst of the best in the market to keep those bent induced losses to a minimum. For a 100 turns on a 50 mm diameter mandrel at 1310 and 1550 nm bending loss is inferior to 0.05dB.
