FAQ
What is the maximum distance this fiber assembly can cover?
The OM3 multimode fiber is capable of supporting distances of up to 550 meters for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, depending on the specific application and network equipment being used.
Can these assemblies be used in conduit?
Yes, these assemblies can be installed in conduit, and we recommend using at least a 3-inch diameter conduit to accommodate for the assembly breakout and ensure ease of installation.
Can I install these assemblies in areas with high moisture or extreme temperatures?
Yes, these assemblies are specifically designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments, including moisture, extreme temperatures, and exposure to the elements, making them ideal for outdoor direct burial and other tough installations.
Are the assemblies ready for installation out of the box?
Yes, these assemblies come pre-terminated with high-quality connectors, allowing for a quick and easy installation without the need for additional splicing or termination work.
What is the best way to install these assemblies?
These assemblies can be installed either directly in the ground for direct burial or within a conduit. If installing directly in the ground, a pulling eye can help guide the cable into place. Always ensure that you follow proper installation techniques for the type of environment where the cable is being installed.
