*Cables assemblies under 100′ in length will ship without a spool to reduce packaging. The cables are delivered via FedEx or UPS, or if you contact us we can ship via your shipping provider. Q: How will the cable be shipped? Our cables are shipped on a cable spool* with both ends secured for safe transport. The cable you order will likely be one of these brands: Corning, Prysmian, AFL, or Superior Essex. Q: What brand cable will I get? We stock of our fiber cables only from name brand manufactures, we may rotate stock from manufacturer to manufacture as lead times vary significantly when it comes time for us to replenish our own inventory. These numbers correlate with the TIA color coding standard, as underneath the protective tubing each fiber is color coded: Fiber Number These labels will have the fiber # printed on it. Q: How are the fibers identified? Each of the cable assembly ends will have a protective tubing added and the tubing will be color coded to the fiber type:Ī label is then affixed to each individual fiber strand. *Cable breakout lengths will vary slightly on the pulling sheath end as they may be staggered for higher strand count cables. Q: What is the breakout length? The breakout length is the following: The breakout lengths vary based on strand count and can be found in the cables specification section. You can generally use SC and ST connectors with either single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cabling. ST connectors are more common than SC connectors.
This portion of the length will have the heavy jacketing on the cable. ST stands for straight tip, a high-performance fiber-optic connector with round ceramic ferrules and bayonet locking features. The cable length is the value selected when ordering and is charged by foot. Q: What will the over all length of my cable be? To calculate the over all cable length you will need to add: Cable Length + Side 1 Breakout Length + Side 2 Breakout length. See our Pulling Sheath info graphic for additional information. For cable assemblies with higher strand count cables the connectors will be staggered in length to allow for the smallest possible diameter. The cable end with the pulling sheaths is meant to be run through the conduit, your pulling string should be affixed to the loop at the end of the pulling sheath. Conduits with existing cables will have mixed results. ST connectors were developed by AT&T and were one of the first fiber connector types to see widespread adoption in fiber optic networks all over. A larger size conduit can typically handle longer runs, a conduit path with less bends will typically be an easier pull. Our recommendation is a general guideline as conduit pulls are very specific to the conduit path. We have listed the minimum size conduit size each cable will fit into. Q: What size conduit will this cable fit through? Each cable will have a different diameter and the pulling sheaths will have a minimum recommended conduit size.
