Features
Fiber Optic Cables use light as a digital information carrier. The 
cable is made up of a small strand of glass, each providing a path  
for light rays carrying the data signal. Fiber Optic Cables offer large 
bandwidth, very high security, and immun ity to electrical interference.
Fiber Optic Cables are offered in different lengths, and you can 
choose either riser or plenum cable. Riser cable is good for running 
cables in walls. Plenum cabling is approved by the NEC
®
 for installation 
in air spaces or ceilings because it does not emit toxic fumes when  
it burns.
You can run Fiber Optic Cable to the desktop for a planned 
deployment of high-data-rate systems such as FDDI, multi media,  
or ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), or applications that require 
large file transfers.
It can also address environmental problems such as EMI 
(electromagnetic interfer ence) or high security requirements.
Ceramic connectors on the Ceramic-Terminated Cables make the 
highest quality cables and provide low signal loss, high reliability, and 
long life. Composite connectors are good quality and are constructed 
of a durable polymer and also offer high precision and low light loss.
All of these cables are ideal for use as work-area, cross-connect,  
or equipment jumper cables.

Recognize any of these situations?
•  You wait more than 30 minutes to get through  
to a vendor’s tech support.
•  The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you  
the wrong answer.
•  You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
•  It’s 9 p.m. and you need help, but your vendor’s  
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communi cations magazine, 90%  
of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support 
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even 
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their 
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the 
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their  
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support. 
You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if 
you need help selecting just the right component for your application.
