single mode cable
Single mode cable represents a critical advancement in fiber optic technology, designed specifically for long-distance, high-speed data transmission. This specialized cable features a small core diameter, typically 8.3 to 10 micrometers, which allows only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber. The cable's construction includes a glass core surrounded by a cladding layer with a lower refractive index, enabling the transmission of light signals with minimal dispersion and attenuation. Operating at wavelengths of 1310 nm or 1550 nm, single mode cables can transmit data over distances exceeding 100 kilometers without the need for signal regeneration. The cable's superior bandwidth capabilities make it ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, internet backbone connections, and enterprise-level networking solutions. Its ability to maintain signal integrity over long distances while supporting speeds up to 100 Gbps makes it an essential component in modern communication networks. The cable's durability and resistance to electromagnetic interference further enhance its reliability in various environmental conditions, making it suitable for both underground and aerial installations.
