Description
Ethernet Cabling Standards
The 15454-YCM-SM-LC is a fiber optic cable that is compliant with the Ethernet standard and can be used in Cisco networking equipment. It has a single channel and is made up of a LC (Lucent Connector) connector on one end and a SC (Subscriber Connector) connector on the other end. The fiber used is single-mode and has a wavelength of 1310 nm, allowing for high-speed data transmission over longer distances. This cable is designed for use in Cisco’s Optical Transport System (OTS) for service provider networks. The YCM in the model name refers to yellow colored cable jacket.
