This cable is a cost-effective solution providing lower loss and higher bandwidth along longer distances. It is ideal for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.
A technology that uses glass threads (fibers) to transmit data
A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads each capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves
Used for hubs and switches to communicate at very high speed
Fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables allowing them to carry more data
Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to interferance than metal cables and are much thinner and lighter
Data can be transmitted digitally (the natural form for computer data) rather than analogically
LSZH (LS0H): short for low smoke zero halogen
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
A flexible molded collar at the end of the connector protects the internal fibers from any undue stresses or strains
