application
Provide interconnect and cross-connect of applications in entrance facilities, telecommunications rooms, data centers, at the
desk and network applications to interconnect pre-terminated cassettes in main distribution, horizontal distribution, and
equipment distribution areas.
technical information
Fiber optic patch cords and pigtails provide interconnect and cross-connect of
applications over installations in entrance facilities, telecommunications rooms, data
centers and at the desk. Patch cords support network applications in main, horizontal
and equipment distribution areas and are available in riser (OFNR), and low smoke
zero halogen (LSZH) rated jacket materials to comply with local cabling ordinances.
Pre-terminated fiber optic pigtails support fusion splice field termination applications.
Fiber optic patch cords and pigtails are available in OM4, OM3, OM2, OM1, or OS1/
OS2 fiber types to meet the demands of Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high
speed Fibre Channel.
