- Corning SMF-28 Ultra Optical Fiber core: OS1/OS2 compatible and ITU-T G.652D compliant, with Corning's enhanced low-loss and bend fiber technologies. This full-spectrum fiber has bend performance that exceeds the ITU-T G657.A1 standard and splices with the installed base of standard single-mode fibers such as SM F-28e+. - Cable jacket and connectors: 2.0 mm zipcord cable jacket with LSZH rating for industry-standard flame and material safety. Durable, plug-and-play high quality fiber optic connectors are included for reliable, quick terminations. - Performance and compatibility: Combines low attenuation with improved macrobend performance in a single premium fiber. Designed for regional, long-haul, metro, access, mobile, and FTTH applications, while remaining fully backward compatible with legacy single-mode fibers. - Applications: High quality fiber patch cable suitable for Storage Area Networks and data networks, connecting to SFP transceivers, Ethernet switches, and media converters. - Use scenarios: - Data center and SAN environments: patch links between storage arrays and switches or interconnects via SFP-based modules. - Metro and regional networks: backbone or distribution links requiring low loss and bend tolerance, with compatibility to existing SMF installed base. - FTTH and access networks: distribution and drop cabling to support fiber to the home deployments and related access architectures.
