Single Mode Fibre Cables

About Single Mode Fibre Cables

Single-mode fibre carries long-distance backbone and FTTH access links. This category includes multi-core cables from 8 to 96 cores, armoured versions for external and duct routes, LSZH indoor multicore cable, and G.657.A1 FTTH drop and indoor cables in 2- and 4-core versions for the final connection into a building or premises. Where a G.652D or G.657.A1 fibre type applies, it is named on the model.

Core count is the main sizing decision, so allow spare fibres for future services. Terminate with single-mode patch cords, pigtails and ODFs; for FTTH splitting see Fibre Splitters. For in-building multimode links, compare Multimode Fibre Cables.

Core counts

2- and 4-core G.657 FTTH drop and indoor cables (A1 or A1/A2, as named on each model); 8-, 12- and 24-core G.652D cables, including LSZH indoor and armoured versions; and 48- and 96-core G.652D armoured cables. A G.657.A1 indoor multicore LSZH cable family is also listed. For aerial routes, a 24-core OS2 / G.652.D ADSS cable is listed under all fibre optic cables.
