50 meters of 12-core telecommunications fiber optic cable

ODN and passive infrastructure knowledge brief Published 11 May 2024

Prepared for preliminary research by the GESTIONVAL ODN knowledge desk. Confirm network topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, joint closure rating and loss budget against current standards and product documentation.

A 50-meter 12-core fiber optic cable is a high-density, multimode or single-mode cable designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise networks.Overview

A 12-core fiber optic cable contains twelve individual optical fibers within a single protective jacket, allowing multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously. This makes it ideal for high-bandwidth applications, network backbones, and data center interconnects, maximizing efficiency while minimizing cable clutter .

Types and Specifications
  • Multimode Fiber (OM3/OM4/OM5): Suitable for short-range, high-speed connections up to 550 meters. OM4 cables often have an aqua or violet jacket and support 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet .
  • Single-Mode Fiber: Designed for long-distance runs, typically used in ISP backbones or campus networks. These cables usually have a yellow jacket .
  • Core Size: Common multimode fibers have a 50/125 micron core, supporting high-speed data transfer .
  • Connectors: MTP/MPO connectors are commonly used for 12-core cables, allowing easy trunking and breakout to LC connectors for individual device connections .
Features
  • Length: 50 meters (164 feet), suitable for medium-range connections within buildings or data centers .
  • Jacket Types: Options include plenum-rated (OFNP) for fire safety in ceilings and walls, or riser-rated PVC for general use .
  • High-Density Design: A single 12-core cable can replace multiple individual cables, reducing installation labor and improving cable management .
  • Performance: Supports data rates up to 100 Gigabit Ethernet, bridging legacy 1G/10G networks to modern 40G/100G infrastructures .
Applications
  • Data Centers: High-density interconnects between switches, servers, and storage devices.
  • Enterprise Networks: Backbone connections and high-speed internal links.
  • Telecommunications: Short- to medium-range fiber runs where multiple channels are needed.
Installation Considerations
  • Follow TIA-598 color standards to maintain fiber organization.
  • Ensure proper bend radius to avoid signal loss.
  • Use plenum-rated cables in areas requiring fire-retardant materials.
  • MTP to LC breakout cables can connect 12 individual devices from a single trunk line . A 50-meter 12-core fiber optic cable is a versatile, high-performance solution for modern networking needs, offering both scalability and efficiency in high-speed data environments .
