Fiber Interconnection Cable

Return to Task List

Both multi-mode and single-mode fiber interconnection cable are available.

Multi-mode Fiber Cable

The multi-mode fiber interconnection cables are used as patch cords and to connect fiber optic equipment to lightguide cross-connect and interconnect fields. This is a dual fiber cable equipped with ST connector plugs on each end.

Multi-mode Fiber Cable Ordering Information provides the available cable lengths and associated comcode numbers.

The following components are used in multi-mode fiber optic connections:

Expansion Interface (EI) circuit packs in port slots in cabinet carriers

Cables from each interface circuit pack to each port slot connector

The 9823A lightwave transceiver transmits up to 4900 feet (1.5 km). The 9823B lightwave transceiver transmits up to 25,000 feet (7.6 km).

Multi-mode fiber optic cable consists of two separate 62.5 micrometer diameter fiber optic cables or 50 micrometer diameter fiber optic cables.

Single-mode Fiber Cable

The single-mode fiber interconnection cables are used as patch cords and to connect fiber optic equipment to lightguide cross-connect and interconnect fields. This is a dual fiber cable equipped with ST connector plugs on each end.

Note:

5 and 10dB attenuators are available. Contact your Lucent Technologies representative for more information.

Single-mode Fiber Cable Ordering Information provides the available cable lengths and associated comcode numbers.

The following components are used in single-mode fiber optic connections:

Expansion Interface (EI) circuit packs in port slots in cabinet carriers

Cables from each interface circuit pack to each port slot connector

The 300A lightwave transceivers transmits light up to 115,000 feet (35 km). Fiber loss must be less than 17dB. Saturation may occur if distances are short; attenuators may be required if the total loss on the fiber link is less than 10dBm. An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) test is recommended to determine specific fiber optic hardware requirements.

Single-mode fiber optic cable consists of two separate 8 to 10 micrometer core cables.

Note:

5 and 10dB attenuators are available. Contact your Lucent Technologies representative for more information.
