Singlemode - Commonly used for long-distance links, singlemode optical fiber networks support higher transmission rates, provide minimal signal attenuation and travel longer distances than multimode fiber before needing a repeater. This is why most networks more than 1 kilometer (3280 feet) use primarily singlemode fibers. Singlemode fibers have an extremely high transmission capacity in combination with low optical losses. These properties make our singlemode fiber ideal for optical systems operating at high transmission speeds over long distances. They are also the medium of choice for upgrading traditional copper telephone lines to the needs of the 21st century. Their flexibility makes these fiber cables easy to install - reducing cost, bend-induced losses, footprint size, and complexity.
Loose TubeComstar Supply stocks a full range of loose tube optical fiber cables. The term "loose tube" is used to describe a category of cables in which the fibers are loosely buffered in a protective tube. Each tube typically contains multiple fibers, and the individual fibers are free to move relative to one another within the tube. Loose tube cables are popular for applications requiring low to medium fiber counts, and any application where fibers must be individually accessed or spliced.
