Typical Fiber Optic Cable Construction

Cable Component

Description

PVC Jacket

Provides environmental protection and performance identification

Kevlar Shield

Provides strength for cable pulling operations and protects the polymer coated glass fiber.

Cladding Layer

The 'cladding layer' is a low refractive index material (typically glass) surrounding the 'glass core' of the fiber optic cable that enhances internal propagation of light within the fiber's core (i.e., the 'cladding layer' steers light to the fiber's core).

Glass Fiber Core

The high-purity 'glass fiber core' is the actual 'light pipe' that carries the optical data transmissions.

Description

Yellow Jacket Color

Singlemode Cable.  Singlemode Cable is typically used as an intrabuilding or interbuilding 'backbone cable' for distances up to 3-kilometers (km).  Singlemode fiber supports data rates up to 10-Gbps with bandwidths through 20-GHz.  Singlemode fiber optic is used for applications that require extremely high bandwidths (e.g., full-motion video, long distance telephony, internet service providers, et cetera).  Singlemode fiber optic cable's normal operating wavelengths are 1310 nanometers (nm) and 1550 nm.

Orange Jacket Color

Multimode Cable.  Multimode Cable is typically used as an intrabuilding or interbuilding 'backbone cable' for distances under 2-kilometers (km) with data rates through 250 Mbps.  Multimode fiber optic cable's normal operating wavelengths are 850 nanometers (nm) and 1300 nm.  Multimode Cable's bandwidth is virtually unlimited when it is used in data, video or voice applications of 100-meters (m) or less.  62.5/125 mm Multimode Cable has a bandwidth of 100 - 200 MHz/km with attenuation of 3.0 - 5.0 dB/km at a wavelength of 850 nm.  At 1300 nanometers, 62.5/125 mm Multimode Cable's bandwidth is 200 - 800 MHz/km with an attenuation of 0.9 - 3.0 dB/km.

OFN Rated Jacket

OFN (Optical Fiber Nonconductive) General-Use Cable should not be used in riser or plenum applications unless fireproof conduits or cable ducts are used.  OFN cables should be used  for terminating equipment from the wall plates in office spaces or work stations.  OFN Premises Cable's construction is the same as other premises cables except for the jacket material's environmental performance rating.

OFNP Rated Jacket

OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive - Plenum) Cable is used in heating and air conditioning plenum applications that must meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI/UL 1666-1997 and NFPA Standard 90A: Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning & Ventilating Systems.    

OFNR Rated Jacket

OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive - Riser) Cable is used in 'riser applications' that must meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI/UL 1666-1997: Standard Test for Flame Propagation Height of Electrical & Optical-Fiber Cable Installed Vertically in Shafts and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) NEC 2005 Art 770.51(B) FPN.
