Single-mode OS1/OS2 Duplex Zipcord Fiber Optical Cable

  • Designed for long-distance and high-bandwidth applications.
  • Uses a small core (8-10µm) to allow only one light mode, reducing signal attenuation and dispersion.
  • OS1: Standard single-mode fiber, typically used for indoor applications (up to 10 km).
  • OS2: Enhanced single-mode fiber, optimized for outdoor/loose-tube applications (supports distances beyond 10 km, up to 200 km with appropriate equipment).

Abalone Tech’s  duplex zipcord single-mode fiber (SMF) cable consists of two optical fibers arranged side-by-side in a single jacket with a mid-span “zip” separation for easy termination. It is designed for high-speed, long-distance data transmission in telecom, data centers, and enterprise networks.

 

FEATURES

  • Single-mode fiber design: Uses OS1 (indoor) or OS2 (outdoor/long-haul) 9/125µm fiber supporting high-speed, long-distance transmission (OS2 up to 200km+).
  • Duplex zipcord construction: Features two parallel fibers with a splittable mid-span web for easy deployment and connectorization.
  • High-performance low loss: OS2 offers ≤0.4 dB/km attenuation (1310/1550nm), supporting 10G/40G/100G to 400G networks.
  • Durable protection: Aramid yarn reinforced with PVC/LSZH jackets (indoor) or armored options (outdoor) for various environments.
  • Plug-and-play compatibility: Pre-terminated with LC/SC/ST/FC duplex connectors for data center, telecom and FTTH applications.
  • Standard compliance: Meets ITU-T G.652.D, TIA/EIA-492 and IEC standards for guaranteed reliability.
