Single-Mode Network Patch Cord (100 Meters)

The single-mode network patch cord (100 meters) is a specialized long-length solution designed to bridge large distances in enterprise campus networks, telecom backbones, and long-haul data links—where shorter cords would require costly splicing or repeaters. This 100-meter length aligns with single-mode’s maximum effective transmission distance for high-speed data (up to 100 km+ at lower speeds, but optimized for 100 meters here for consistent 10 Gbps/40 Gbps performance), making it ideal for connecting buildings in a campus (e.g., a university’s main library to a science hall), linking telecom towers, or extending data center connectivity to remote server rooms.

At its core, this patch cord uses 9/125um single-mode fiber, which minimizes modal dispersion to maintain signal integrity over 100 meters. It supports data rates from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps (e.g., 100GBASE-LR4), even at this length, and its immunity to EMI/RFI ensures consistent performance near power lines, industrial equipment, or wireless towers—common in campus or telecom environments. The long length eliminates the need for multiple shorter cords and splices, reducing points of failure and simplifying network maintenance.

The cord’s construction prioritizes signal stability and durability for long runs. It features a low-loss fiber core (typically with a attenuation rate of <0.4 dB/km at 1310nm) and a robust jacket (LSZH or PVC) that resists abrasion during installation and long-term use. For outdoor or semi-outdoor campus runs, some models include a UV-resistant jacket to prevent degradation from sunlight. Common connectors are LC or SC, both with precision ceramic ferrules to ensure low insertion loss (<0.3dB) and secure connections—critical for maintaining signal quality over 100 meters.

Compliant with IEEE 802.3 and TIA/EIA-568-C.3 standards, this 100-meter single-mode patch cord is compatible with all single-mode hardware, from transceivers to patch panels. It is color-coded yellow for easy identification in mixed-fiber setups and often includes length markers for precise routing. For organizations needing reliable, long-haul connectivity without splicing, the single-mode network patch cord (100 meters) offers a seamless, high-performance solution for campus, telecom, or large-scale enterprise networks.
