They comprise two tight buffer fibres housed within a common outer jacket in OM1, 0M2, OM3. OM4, 051. OS2 multi-mode and single mode variants. Both ends are terminated with a high performance hybrid or single type connector comprising of a SC ST. FC. LC. MTRJ. E2000 connector in simplex and duplex, These are typically not ruggedized, depending on the application and a spring loaded electrical contact housed within LSHF plastic shell possible, making them suitable for internal use,
