The selection of optical cables is not only based on the number of optical fibers and the type of optical fibers, but also on the outer sheath of the optical cable according to the use environment of the optical cable.
1) When the outdoor optical cable is directly buried, shielded optical cable should be selected. In height, an optical cable with a black plastic outer sheath with two or more reinforcing ribs can be used.
2) When selecting optical cables used in buildings, attention should be paid to their flame retardant, poisonous and smoke characteristics. Generally, the flame retardant but smoke-free type (Plenum) can be used in the pipeline or forced ventilation, and the flame retardant, non-toxic and smoke-free type (Riser) should be used in the exposed environment.
3) When wiring vertically in the building, you can choose Distribution Cables; When placed horizontally, you can choose Breakout Cables.
4) If the transmission distance is less than 2 km, you can choose multi-mode optical cable. If it exceeds 2 km, you can use a repeater or choose a single-mode optical cable.
