SIMPLEX FIBER OPTIC CABLE

Simplex cable has a single fiber coated with a 900 um buffer. Buffered fiber, along with strands of Kevlar, is then coated with a 3mm jacket that is either PVC riser-rated or plenum-rated.  Simplex fiber can be either singlemode or multimode.  Singlemode fiber is typically jacketed in yellow while multimode fiber is usually jacketed in gray or orange but could be just about any other color.
Recommended applications: patch cables, interoffice patching, computer room, and for interconnection.
