KRONE has announced a new line of multimode fiber cables.
The 50-micron Ultra multimode fiber cables are designed to meet the increasingly demanding bandwidth requirements of enterprise networks and support serial 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) transmission up to 300 meters at the lower-cost 850nm window. The Ultra fiber is laser optimized to support the latest low-cost Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), and adheres to current guidance in the IEEE 802.3 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard.
"The 50-micron Ultra fiber enables KRONE to deliver a highly economical 10 Gigabit structured-cabling solution to the marketplace," says Ron Lowy, chief operating officer at KRONE. "KRONE supports the trend toward 50-micron fiber and recognizes its inherent advantages in today's demanding networks."
KRONE recommends 50-micron multimode fiber cables for new construction in enterprise-network applications. Their high bandwidth specification at the 850nm window provides a clear advantage over 62.5-micron products in Ethernet reach.
The new fiber is compliant with standards for 10 Gigabit and all legacy Ethernet applications. TIA/EIA 568-B.3, the newest commercial building standard specifically for optical networks, adopts 50-micron fiber as an approved transmission medium. All of KRONE's fiber cable product lines support the use of the new 50-micron Ultra product and existing multimode solutions.
KRONE manufactures structured-cabling solutions for enterprise and public networks. For more information visit www.krone.com.
