Fiber diameter
Fiber diameter is expressed as core diameter/cladding diameter, in μm. For example, 9/125 μm means that the
fiber core diameter is 9 μm and the fiber cladding diameter is 125 μm.
For the HPE devices, the following fiber diameters are recommended:
•
G.652 standard single-mode fiber: 9/125 μm
•
G.655 non zero dispersion shifted single-mode fiber: 9/125 μm
•
G.651 standard multimode fiber: 50/125 μm or 62.5/125 μm
Connector
Cover the connector with a dust cap when it is not connected to any optical fibers.
Connectors connect transceiver modules to the corresponding transmission media. The transceiver modules
available for Aruba products use the following types of connectors:
•
Lucent connector or local connector (LC).
Single LC connectors (also known as Simplex) are typically used for 1G & 10G BiDi (Bidirectional) optics.
Dual LC connectors (Duplex) are typically used in normal optical types.
