A.1.7 Optical Fiber
Optical fibers are used for carrying signals on Gigabit networks or networks with higher
packet rates.
Optical fibers connect to the interface on the USG9500 through an optical module. Select
optical modules and fibers based on peer device interfaces.
NOTICE
You are advised to use Huawei optical modules. Optical modules from other vendors may
cause incompatibility issues and lead to faults on the USG9500.
Structure and Appearance
Optical fibers are classified into single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers. Single-mode
optical fibers are used for long-distance transmission whereas multi-mode optical fibers are
used for short-distance transmission. Indoor single-mode optical fibers usually have a yellow
jacket, as shown in
. Indoor multi-mode optical fibers usually have an orange
. Optical fibers are not delivered with the USG9500. Purchase
optical fibers separately as required.
