Hi,
I have to order and patch in a couple of duplex fibre patch cables, LC - SC from the patch panel into multi-mode gbic transceivers. As far as I can see my main options are 50/125 and 62.5/125 patch cables. Can I use either of these? Do they have to match the type of fibre cable run between the cabinets? (I'm not sure what cable that is, can have a look when I visit the site next week)
I think the smaller the core, so the 50 in this case, the longer the cable can be, length isn't an issue as I only need 1m patch cables. Is there an advantage to the core having a larger diameter? Not sure what patch cable I should be going for here. Do I need more information before I can buy the right thing?
