Description
Why 2.0mm is the standard for multimode jumpers
| Cable Size | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| 0.9mm | Multimode pigtails |
| 2.0mm | Multimode patch cords |
| 3.0mm | Rugged or outdoor cords |
The 2.0mm cable provides the ideal balance between flexibility and tensile strength, making it perfect for rack-to-rack and device-to-panel connections.
Multimode optical performance
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Fiber Type | Multimode 50/125 µm (OM2 / OM3 / OM4 / OM5) |
| Polish Type | UPC |
| Insertion Loss | ≤ 0.30 dB |
| Return Loss | ≥ 35 dB |
| Operating Wavelengths | 850 nm / 1300 nm |
| Supported Data Rates | 10G / 25G / 40G / 100G (short reach) |
| Mating Life | ≥ 1000 cycles |
These specifications ensure stable, low-loss transmission for high-speed multimode networks.
Connector & cable structure
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Connector Type | LC Simplex |
| Cable Diameter | 2.0mm |
| Ferrule | 1.25mm zirconia ceramic |
| Boot | Standard strain-relief boot |
| Latching System | LC push-pull |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +75°C |
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 100 N |
The reinforced jacket and boot protect the fiber from bending and pulling during daily patching.
