How to Choose the Right Fibre Cable
Single-mode vs Multimode
Single-mode (OS1/OS2) carries signals over kilometres with minimal loss; multimode (OM1–OM5) suits shorter data-centre runs up to 550 m at lower cost.
Connector Type
LC, SC, ST, E2000 and MPO/MTP connectors each serve different switch ports and breakout configurations — match both ends before ordering.
Cable Length & Jacket
Measure the actual run with slack; LSZH jackets are required in air-handling spaces, while outdoor-rated armoured cables withstand burial and UV exposure.
Core Count for Trunks
Pre-terminated trunk cables from 12 to 288 cores let you deploy high-density spine–leaf fabrics quickly without field splicing every connection.

Standards tip: OM5 wideband multimode fibre supports SWDM4 and doubles usable bandwidth over OM4 on 100G/400G links — worth specifying for new-build server rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OS1 and OS2 single-mode cable?
OS1 uses a tight-buffered construction for indoor/riser use with losses up to 1 dB/km; OS2 uses a loose-tube design rated for outdoor and long-haul runs with losses as low as 0.4 dB/km at 1310 nm.
Can I connect LC to SC connectors without a new cable?
Yes — LC-to-SC hybrid patch leads or fibre adapters let you mate different connector types directly, avoiding the need to replace installed infrastructure.
How do I choose between a pre-terminated trunk and field-spliced cable?
Pre-terminated trunks (like the Lightwin LTMC 144/288 series) deliver faster deployment, factory-guaranteed insertion loss and no fusion-splicer required; field splicing suits custom lengths or repairs.
