Pulsar Fiber
Optics offers its customers a full line of standard high-performance broadband
fiber optic patch cords and trunk cable assemblies that have been designed
and fabricated to meet or exceed the performance requirements of most telephone,
MSO cable, ATM, Fast Ethernet, Fiber Channel, FTTH, FTTP and Gigabit Ethernet
applications. Pulsar maintains in-house inventories for most popular
termination configurations that normally can be shipped within 2-business days. Custom
configured fiber optic patch cords and trunk cable assemblies typically
ship within 10-business days after receipt of a confirmed purchase order and an
approved and released assembly drawing Standard fiber optic patch cords

When
ordering patch cords and trunk cable assemblies, Pulsar Fiber Optics’
customers can specify the connector polishing style, cable performance
characteristics and cable jacket performance requirements for their
application. Pulsar regularly supplies the following industry standard
connector polishing styles, cable performance characteristics and cable jacket
performance :
|
Typical Fiber Optic Connector Polishing Styles |
|
Style |
Description |
|
Angled PC |
The
end face of the connector is angled to achieve better back reflection
results mechanically.
Back reflection is the same as the Enhanced Ultra PC.
Used often in CATV applications. |
|
Enhanced Ultra PC |
Modified PC Polish.
Back reflection of -60 dB or better and is the best performance
available |
|
PC
|
Physical Contact.
The end face of the connector is convex. The core of the fiber is
located at the high point of this surface and offers good basic
performance. In singlemode applications the back reflection results
must fall between -30 dB and -39 dB. |
|
Super PC |
Modified PC Polish.
Back reflection of -40 dB to 49 dB. |
|
Ultra PC |
Modified PC Polish.
Back reflection of -50 dB to 59 dB. |

Description |

Yellow Jacket Color |
Singlemode Cable.
Singlemode Cable is typically used as an intrabuilding or
interbuilding 'backbone cable' for distances up to 3-kilometers (km).
Singlemode fiber supports data rates up to 10-Gbps with bandwidths
through 20-GHz.
Singlemode fiber optic is used for applications that require extremely
high bandwidths (e.g., full-motion video, long distance telephony,
internet service providers, et cetera).
Singlemode fiber optic cable's normal operating wavelengths are 1310
nanometers (nm) and 1550 nm. |
|
Orange Jacket Color |
Multimode Cable.
Multimode Cable is typically used as an intrabuilding or
interbuilding 'backbone cable' for distances under 2-kilometers (km)
with data rates through 250 Mbps.
Multimode fiber optic cable's normal operating wavelengths are 850
nanometers (nm) and 1300 nm.
Multimode
Cable's bandwidth is virtually unlimited when it is used in data, video
or voice applications of 100-meters (m) or less.
62.5/125 µm Multimode Cable has a bandwidth of 100 - 200 MHz/km with
attenuation of 3.0 - 5.0 dB/km at a wavelength of 850 nm.
At
1300 nanometers, 62.5/125 µm Multimode Cable's bandwidth is 200 - 800
MHz/km with an attenuation of 0.9 - 3.0 dB/km. |

OFN
Rated Jacket |
OFN
(Optical Fiber Nonconductive) General-Use Cable
should not
be used in riser or plenum applications unless fireproof conduits or
cable ducts are used.
OFN cables should be used
for terminating equipment from the wall plates in office
spaces or work stations.
OFN Premises Cable's construction is the same as other premises cables
except for the jacket material's environmental performance rating. |
|
OFNP
Rated Jacket |
OFNP
(Optical Fiber Nonconductive – Plenum) Cable
is used in heating and air conditioning plenum applications that must
meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI/UL 1666-1997 and NFPA Standard
90A: Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning & Ventilating
Systems.
|
|
OFNR
Rated Jacket |
OFNR
(Optical Fiber Nonconductive – Riser) Cable
is
used in 'riser applications' that must meet or exceed the requirements
of
ANSI/UL 1666-1997
(Standard Test for Flame Propagation Height of Electrical &
Optical-Fiber Cable Installed Vertically in Shafts) and NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) NEC 2005
Art 770.51(B) FPN.
