Indoor Distribution Cable: ULTIMODE IDC-4SM (4xG.652.D)

View of the cable

A look at the construction of the cable

ULTIMODE IDC-4SM is indoor fiber optic cable (Minibreakout), with four 900 μm tight-buffered single-mode fibers (G.652.D) contained in one sheath. Individual fibers are comfortably accessible, which makes it easier to install optical connectors, to make splices etc. The aramid yarn is designed to protect fibers from mechanical damage, including risks posed by rodents.

ULTIMODE IDC-4SM cable contains 4 single-mode fibers. The color identification of the buffer layers complies with the GB13993.3-2001 standard. The jacket (sheath) is made of low smoke zero halogen flame retardant poly-olefin (LSZH).

The single-mode fibers used in the cable are ITU-T G.652.D, in 900 μm tight buffers. The G.652.D fibers are currently the most popular single-mode fibers, thanks to reduced water peak attenuation and capability of using within the whole 1280 nm to 1625 nm wavelength range. The G.652.D fibers are optimized for transmission at the wavelengths of 1310 nm (attenuation less than 0.36 dB/km) and 1550 nm (attenuation less than 0.22 dB/km), but they can be used at any wavelengths within the 1280-1625 nm range. The fibers are made in accordance with IEC 60793-2-50, EIA / TIA-FOTP and ITU-T G.652.D standards.

Indoor distribution cables from ULTIMODE IDC series are gel-free fiber optic cables intended for horizontal and vertical connections in buildings. Due to the small size and flexibility, the cables are ideal for installation in cable ducts and shafts. They are used in modern FTTD systems, in server rooms, for vertical and horizontal connections.

ULTIMODE Building System is a solution to create FTTH networks in buildings (Fiber To The Home). The system provides a complete range of products for deployment of fiber optic links in each apartment/office, including "open space" offices.
