CCD ST-MTRJ Singlemode OS2 Duplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable

Orders can take 3-14 business days to arrive, depending on stock levels and your location.

A media converter is a networking device that converts one type of network media, such as copper network cabling, to another, such as fibre optic network cabling. This is often used to extend network distances or connect different network types.

Single-mode fibre uses a thin core to guide light in a single path, enabling long-distance, high-bandwidth transmissions. Multi-mode fibre, on the other hand, has a thicker core that allows multiple light paths to travel simultaneously. While this can increase bandwidth over shorter distances, it can also lead to signal distortion due to the different light paths arriving at different times. This makes multi-mode fibre more suitable for shorter-distance applications, while single-mode fibre is better suited for longer-distance transmissions.

An SFP module is a small, hot-swappable device that plugs into media converters, network switches, and routers. It provides various connectivity options, such as fibre optic or copper connectors.

While it's generally possible to mix and match SFP modules from different brands, it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's compatibility guidelines to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential issues.

These are different categories of Ethernet cables, with each category offering higher speeds and better performance than the previous one. CAT7 is the latest and fastest category.

Consider factors like the distance you need to cover, the data rates required, and the type of media you're converting between. Consulting with a network professional can help you make the best choice.

Fibre optic cables use light pulses to transmit data, offering higher bandwidth, longer transmission distances, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Copper cables use electrical signals, are less expensive but have limitations in distance and bandwidth, and are more susceptible to interference.

While you can use a CAT6 cable with a CAT5e port, the performance will be limited by the older port. The CAT6 cable's higher capacity won't be fully utilized.

Duplex mode enables simultaneous data transmission and reception in both directions, while simplex mode allows data transmission in only one direction at a time.

PoE technology transmits electrical power along with data signals over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power outlets and simplifying network installations, especially for devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones.
