laser ultra-fox cables and laser ultra-fox de cables product information pi 1 Laser Ultra-Fox Cables For the laser-based high-speed networks of today and tomorrow, Optical Cable Corporation s Laser Ultra-Fox multimode fiber optic cables offer the best performance and longest operational distances available. Laser Ultra-Fox multimode cables are optimized for use with high-speed laser-based systems, such as Gigabit Ethernet. Laser Ultra-Fox multimode cables are also fully compliant with all LED-based standards, making them an excellent choice for any new installation where migration to Gigabit Ethernet is planned. Laser Ultra-Fox cables have controlled differential-mode-delay and refractive-index-profiles that are directly compatible with 850 nm VCSEL lasers, 1310 nm single-mode lasers, and LEDS. Laser Ultra-Fox multimode cables are available in both 62.5 µm and 50 µm fiber types. Laser Ultra-Fox Ten multimode cables are optimized for use with 10-Gigabit laser-based systems, such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Laser Ultra-Fox Ten cables also achieve extended distance operation with Gigabit Ethernet systems, and are fully compatible with all 50 µm LED based standards, making them the best choice for any new installation that might require operation at 10-Gigabit speeds. Laser Ultra-Fox ALT and ALE cables are fully compliant with both the TIA-568 850 nm Laser-Optimized 50 µm Fiber Addendum and the ISO/IEC 11801 OM3 10-Gigabit standards. Laser Ultra-Fox Ten cables provide extended distance operation beyond the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard link lengths. Laser Ultra-Fox cables are fully compatible with all 10-155 Mb/s data standards, such as Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, Fibre Channel, and TIA-568. Laser Ultra-Fox cables are laser-ready, eliminating the need for expensive mode conditioning patch cords. Laser Ultra-Fox Delay Equalized Cables Optical Cable Corporation s Laser Ultra-Fox Delay Equalized fiber optic cables offer the unique combination of true-time-delay equalization and easy termination. Laser Ultra-Fox Delay Equalized cables are optimized for use in high-speed parallel data transmission, where minimal time skew of data between groups of fibers is important for proper system operation. Installations utilizing keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) access, where the actual computers are in a secure location separate from the KVM controls, often have demanding time skew requirements. With Laser Ultra-Fox Delay Equalized cable, groups of 2 to 6 fibers may be delay-equalized. Higher fiber counts can be produced in GX-Series Subgrouping cables by using delay-equalized subunit cables. Each individual fiber within a Laser Ultra-Fox Delay Equalized cable group is specially selected for equal group refractive index, allowing distance accuracy down to a few inches or less depending on overall cable length. In competing ribbon cable designs, unequal group refractive index can change the relative propagation delay time by as much as 0.4%.

FIBER BUFFER OPTIONS pi 2 product information Optical Cable Corporation offers three distinct buffering systems, each carefully engineered and manufactured to be the best available for its respective installation/application. Ultra-Fox Our Ultra-Fox cable features 100 kpsi proof-tested fiber, a primary coating of UV-cured acrylate material to a diameter of 250 µm, and a secondary buffer to 900 µm. The composite primary coating and secondary buffer may be mechanically removed to the 125 µm glass diameter in one step. This is typically done for direct termination with connectors. The versatile buffer system permits mechanical stripping in short lengths (about 1 cm) to remove the secondary buffer and leave the 250 µm primary coating intact. This 250 µm buffered fiber is, therefore, available for splicing to similar buffered fibers from loose-tube cables. The 250 µm coating may then be further mechanically stripped to the 125 µm glass diameter. Ultra-Fox Plus Our Ultra-Fox Plus cable features 100 kpsi proof-tested fiber, a primary buffer of UV-cured acrylate material to a diameter of 500 µm and a secondary hard elastomeric buffer to 900 µm diameter. This provides the best environmental and mechanical protection and is identical to the buffering on our military tactical cables. This buffering system can easily be mechanically stripped directly to the glass for termination with connectors or for splicing. Easy Strip (ES) Buffer Options Our Easy Strip options permit the easy removal of long lengths (20-30 cm) of the 900 µm buffer, leaving the 250 µm acrylate coating. This is convenient when the 900 µm buffer must be removed to allow for splicing or ribbonizing. ES1 features a 900 µm primary buffer of hard elastomeric material that is semi-loose-fitting over the 250 µm acrylate coating. ES2 features a 900 µm PVC primary buffer with a release agent placed between the primary buffer and the 250 µm acrylate coating. 900 250 125 900 500 125 900 250 125 100 kpsi proof-tested fiber Seconday buffer to 900 µm: strippable to 250 µm, more flexible Primary buffer of UV-cured acrylate, to 250 µm diameter 100 kpsi proof-tested fiber Hard Elastomeric secondary buffer to 900 µm: abrasion resistant, super crush and impact resistance 3X thicker wall: primary buffer of UV-cured acrylate, to 500 µm diameter 100 kpsi proof-tested fiber Seconday buffer to 900 µm: strippable to 250 µm, more flexible Primary buffer of UV-cured acrylate, to 250 µm diameter ES type construction makes it easy to strip in long lengths
