Optical transmission media

Glass fiber-optic cables are preferably used as the optical transmission medium. The two types of cable offered are suitable for above-ground routing indoors or outdoors. They are available in fixed lengths, pre-assembled with 2 x 2 BFOC connectors (fiber optic standard cable) or 2 x 2 SC connectors (FO standard cable).

The FO standard cable with 2 x 2 SC connectors is required for optical networking in the Gigabit range.
