You can select either single mode or multimode fiber, depending on your application. The primary type for single mode fiber is OS2, and the following multimode fiber types are available:

Jacket Type (Flame Rating)

Depending on the environment in which your cables will be installed, you may need to specifyflame rating. Riserrated cables are designed not to transmit flame from one floor to another, whileplenumrated cables are flame-resistant and have reduced smoke-generating properties. Plenum rated cables are recommended for air handling ducts and chambers without the use of a fireproof conduit. For areas with extremely limited ventilation, we recommend Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables. For harsher environments, we offerarmoredoptions for riser, plenum, and LSZH rated cables.

Length

Champion ONE can provide cables in any length, in meters or feet, in whole or half increments.

Color

By default, our fiber cables come in the industry-standard colors that denote their fiber type, according to the chart below:

However, we can also customize your cables, with up to 12 options available.

Labeling

Customers can customize how cables are labeled. While standard labels include Champion ONE’s logo and part number, customers can have their logo placed on the product and bag labels instead. Cable bags can include rack/switch information as well to facilitate data center deployment.
