Laser Ultra-Fox™ Cables
For the laser-based high-speed networks of today and tomorrow, Optical Cable Corporation's Laser Ultra-Fox™ multimode fiber optic cables offer the best performance and longest operational distances available.

Laser Ultra-Fox™ multimode cables are optimized for use with high-speed laser-based systems, such as Gigabit Ethernet. Laser Ultra-Fox™ cables are also fully compliant with all LED-based standards, making them an excellent choice for any new installation where migration to Gigabit Ethernet is planned. Laser Ultra-Fox™ cables have controlled differential-mode-delay and refractive-index-profiles that are directly compatible with 850 nm VCSEL lasers, 1310 nm single-mode lasers, and LEDS. Laser Ultra-Fox™ cables are available in both 62.5 µm and 50 µm fiber types.

Laser Ultra-Fox™ Ten multimode cables are optimized for use with 10-Gigabit laser-based systems, such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Laser Ultra-Fox™ Ten cables also achieve extended distance operation with Gigabit Ethernet systems, and are fully compatible with all 50 µm LED based standards, making them the best choice for any new installation that might require future operation at 10-Gigabit speeds. Laser Ultra-Fox™ Ten-300, Ten-500, and Ten-XL cables are fully compliant with both the TIA-568-B.3-A-1 850 nm Laser-Optimized 50 µm Fiber Addendum and the ISO/IEC 11801 OM3 10-Gigabit standards.

Laser Ultra-Fox™ cables provide extended distance operation beyond the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard link lengths. Laser Ultra-Fox™ cables are fully compatible with all 10-155 Mb/s data standards, such as Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, Fibre Channel, and TIA-568-B.3. Laser Ultra-Fox™ cables are laser-ready, eliminating the need for expensive mode conditioning patch cords.

Laser Ultra-Fox™ DE Cables
Optical Cable Corporation's Laser Ultra-Fox™ DE Delay-Equalized fiber optic cables offer the unique combination of true-time-delay equalization and easy termination.

Laser Ultra-Fox™ DE cables are optimized for use in high-speed parallel data transmission, where minimal time skew of data between groups of fibers is important for proper system operation. Installations utilizing keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) access, where the actual computers are in a secure location separate from the KVM controls, often have demanding time skew requirements. With Laser Ultra-Fox™ DE cable, groups of 2 to 6 fibers may be delay-equalized. Higher fiber counts can be produced in GX-Series Subgrouping cables by using delay-equalized subunit cables.

Each individual fiber within a Laser Ultra-Fox™ DE cable equalized group is specially selected for equal group refractive index, allowing distance accuracy down to a few inches or less depending on overall cable length. In competing ribbon cable designs unequal group refractive index can change the relative propagation delay time by as much as 0.4%.
