What to Look for When Buying Single Mode Optical Fiber Cables

Core Size and Mode Field Diameter Explained

One major aspect to consider when you buy single mode optical fiber cables is the core size and mode field diameter. Core size is a parameter to measure the width of the glass core within the fiber-optic cable. The smaller the core, the less signal loss and faster speed, which can be beneficial for long-distance traveling. The mode field diameter is the size of the light propagating through the core). One has to select single mode optical fiber cables with right core size and mode field diameter for the best results.

Looking Low Attenuation Rates

Likewise you should ensure that the attenuation rates are minimal while buying such cables. Attenuation is the amount of signal strength lost as it moves through the fiber optic cable. A lower rate of attenuation would strictly mean that the signal can travel far without fading. CDSEI provides single mode optical fiber cables with low attenuation rate, which allow you to transfer low-loss transmission over long distance.

The Significance of Selecting Proper Connectors

When purchasing single mode optical fiber cables, selecting a proper connector is crucial. Connectors are applied between fiber optic cables and between equipment and fiber optic cables. You need to select the proper connectors that fit your single mode optical fibre to have a safe and reliable connection. CDSEI provides a broad range of high-quality connectors that are compatible with their single mode optical fiber cables, and offer you a solid and reliable connection for your data.

In consideration of Cable Construction and Jacket Material

The construction of the fiber optic cable, as well as the material of the jacket, are another really important aspect when purchasing single mode optical fiber cables. The cable’s design impacts its strength and flexibility, and the jacket type shields it from harm. CDSEI’s single mode single fiber cables are built to be sturdy and strong construction which means they will perform well for a long time – under any conditions, too.

Evaluating Bend Radius and Installation Specifications

If you are buying single mode optical fiber cables, then pay particular attention to the bend radius as well as what your installation requirements are. The bend radius is that radius where a cable can reasonably bend to, without harming the core or causing signal loss. For your setup, Make sure to select cables which have a good bend radius so that you don’t have any issues recording with it. Finally, consider where you’re going to install them (indoors or outdoors) so you’ll end up with the appropriate single mode optical fiber cables for your purposes. CDSEI offers customers a variety of single mode fiber cables to choose from with different bend radii and installation options.
