Single Mode and Multimode Fiber Optic Cables

Many decisions come into play when installing fiber optic cabling. By far, one of the most important questions is whether to install single mode or multimode. This decision has huge implications for your network’s distance, bandwidth, and budget, so it’s vital to understand the differences between these two types of fiber optic glass.

Before we discuss each type of fiber, here are some definitions:

Optical fiber: The glass portion of a fiber optic cable – no jacketing or strength members included. An optical fiber is made up of a light carrying core surrounded by cladding. The cladding prevents light from escaping the core, effectively keeping the signal moving down the glass.

Single mode fiber: a fiber featuring a small light-carrying core of about 9 micrometers (µm) in diameter. For reference, a human hair is closer to 100 µm. The core is surrounded by a cladding that brings the overall diameter of the optical fiber to 125 µm.

Multimode fiber: a fiber with a core of 50 µm or above. A larger core means multiple modes (or rays of light) can travel down the core simultaneously. Just like single mode, the core is surrounded by a cladding that brings the overall diameter of the optical fiber to 125 µm.

Fiber Patch Panels

Corning CCH Fiber Patch Panels provide interconnect or cross-connect capabilities between outside plant, riser or distribution cables and opto-electronics. Like other LANscape solutions hardware, the housings accept CCH connector panels. In addition, the housings accept CCH cassettes and CCH modules.

From fiber and cable routing and strain relief, to port labeling and termination, these housings reduce the risk of error that can disrupt networks.

Closet connector housings (CCHs) provide interconnect or cross-connect capabilities between outside plant, riser or distribution cables and opto-electronics. Like other LANscape solutions hardware, the housings accept CCH connector panels. In addition, the housings accept CCH cassettes and CCH modules.

From fiber and cable routing and strain relief, to port labeling and termination, these housings reduce the risk of error that can disrupt networks.

Multimode fiber: a fiber with a core of 50 µm or above. A larger core means multiple modes (or rays of light) can travel down the core simultaneously. Just like single mode, the core is surrounded by a cladding that brings the overall diameter of the optical fiber to 125 µm.

Optical Distribution Frame (ODF`s)

The ever-increasing demand for bandwidth will continue to strain fiber management capabilities and require more density and scalability for your inside plant fiber distribution frame infrastructure. To meet your service-level agreements, a sound multi-network optical distribution frame (ODF) strategy must include infrastructure that can:

  • Provide a format expandable for future growth
  • Simplify and increase patch-cord management and storage
  • Improve adds and changes or eliminate mishandling of cabling assemblies leading to potential dB loss
  • Migrate to future generation of transmission and aggregation systems by equipment

The Optical Distribution Frame RFO meets this demand for more network capacity and reach, helping you meet the challenges that come with fiber management and migration to new technologies and equipment.

You can build the optical distribution frame (ODF) system that conforms to your fiber distribution requirements, with three RFO frame formats and two RFO chassis for optimal connectivity, management and scalability.
