  Uses LC connector for Compact Fibre termination
  Full duplex operation enabling simultaneous transmit and receive
  RoHS compliant construction supporting regulated installations

Applications

• Suitable for 25G data centre uplinks between switches and servers
  Ideal for short-range interconnects in industrial automation racks
  Used with multimode trunk cabling within communication cupboards
  Can be used for high-speed links in electronic test benches
  Used for electrical control room Fibre extensions up to100m

What optical mode does it use and how does that affect cabling?

It uses multimode operation which requires multimode Fibre and connectors compatible with 850nm optics to maintain specified distances and performance.

Which connector type is required for installation?

Installation requires an LC-style Fibre connector on the patch leads and equipment transceivers for correct mating.

How does full duplex affect network design?

Full duplex provides separate transmit and receive channels, allowing simultaneous bidirectional data flow and reducing latency in point-to-point links.

What Wavelength considerations are important for deployment?

The 850nm operating Wavelength is optimised for multimode links and should be matched with multimode-rated transceivers and cabling to achieve the 100m reach.
