100-meter fiber optic cable

A 100-meter fiber optic cable is available in both multimode and singlemode types, with LC/LC duplex connectors, suitable for high-speed data transmission and long-distance networking.

Types and Specifications

Multimode Fiber (OM1, OM3, OM4, OM5)

• Core/Cladding: 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm
• Wavelengths: 850 nm / 1300 nm
• Typical Use: Short to medium distances, data centers, LANs
• Example: 100-meter OM3 LC to LC duplex cable supports 10Gb Ethernet with a 2mm jacket diameter and riser-rated jacket for indoor use . Singlemode Fiber (OS1/OS2)
• Core/Cladding: 9/125 µm
• Wavelengths: 1310 nm / 1550 nm
• Typical Use: Long-distance transmission, telecom, high-bandwidth applications
• Example: 100-meter LC/LC singlemode duplex cable supports 100 GbE, armored or LSZH jacket options for indoor/outdoor deployment .

Key Features

• Duplex Design: Two fibers allow simultaneous bidirectional communication, improving network efficiency .
• Connectors: LC/LC is common, but SC, ST, or custom connectors are also available .
• Pre-Terminated Options: Factory-terminated cables reduce installation time and ensure low insertion loss and high return loss .
• Durability: Options include armored cables with steel or Aramid yarn for harsh environments, flexible jackets for indoor/outdoor use, and low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) for safety .
• Performance: Multimode cables support 1G–100G speeds depending on OM type; singlemode cables can handle 10G–100G+ over 100 meters .

Applications

• Data centers and server rooms
• Enterprise LANs and campus networks
• Telecommunications and CATV networks
• Security and IP camera systems
• High-speed cloud service connections

Purchasing Options

• Available from online retailers like Amazon, CableWholesale, FastCabling, and Mouser .
• Custom lengths and strand counts (2, 6, 12, 24) are available for specific network configurations .
• Prices vary by fiber type, jacket material, and connector type, ranging from around $60 for basic singlemode patch cables to several hundred dollars for armored or high-performance multimode cables . A 100-meter fiber optic cable provides reliable, high-speed connectivity for both indoor and outdoor applications, with options tailored to distance, bandwidth, and environmental requirements.
