Specifications for 9904-RPFM Fiber Optic Cable
The quality of the fiber cable determines the distance you can achieve. Consult
your local distributor for attenuation specifications prior to purchasing your fiber
media components. The table below provides specifications for fiber optic cable:
The medium-distance fiber module (9904-RPFM) is designed for use with 62.5/
125µm multi-mode optic fiber and plastic or ceramic ST type connectors. The
wavelength used is 1300 nm.
Termination is simply the process of attaching a connector to the ends of our fiber
cable. We recommend that you use a quality kit such as the Corning Cable Systems
Termination Kit with the unicam ST connectors. The Corning Cable Systems
Termination Kit has proven to be a simple and reliable method to terminate fiber
cable.
