FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fibre?
Single-mode fibre supports longer distances and higher bandwidths; it is ideal for long-haul backbone networks. Multimode supports shorter distances and is typically used for shorter runs.
Can this cable be used indoors?
The outdoor-rated jacket makes it excellent for outdoor deployments, but it can also be used indoors where durability is valued.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is single-mode fiber preferred for outdoor tower deployments?
Single-mode fiber supports longer distances with minimal signal loss and attenuation, making it ideal for connecting distributed tower sites, backbone links, or remote access points kilometers apart without requiring repeaters or regeneration.
How long can this 100-foot single-mode cable span?
At 100 feet, this cable is suitable for shorter runs such as within tower facilities or between adjacent structures. For longer distances, multiple cables can be spliced, or single-mode fiber infrastructure can be built in stages.
What protective features does the outdoor-rated jacket provide?
The outdoor-rated jacket shields the fiber from UV degradation, physical abrasion, and environmental contaminants. The integrated weatherproof tape and kevlar yarn reinforcement further protect against rough handling and outdoor elements.
Can this fiber cable be installed directly on tower structures without conduit?
The outdoor-rated jacket and weatherproof features enable direct exposure; however, always follow best practices such as securing the cable away from sharp edges and using cable management clips to prevent damage.
What connector type does the FC-SM-100 use?
This fiber cable features LC connectors at both ends, a common standard for outdoor Ubiquiti equipment and compatible with most single-mode Gigabit and 10 Gbps modules.
Is this cable suitable for both data and PoE transport?
The cable itself carries only fiber data; PoE delivery requires a separate power conductor or a fiber-PoE converter like the F-PoE to combine data and power on the same physical path.
What is the lead time for ordering this fiber cable to the UAE?
Procure.ae supplies Ubiquiti fiber cabling across the UAE and GCC. Contact the team to confirm stock and delivery timeline for this single-mode cable.
Does Procure.ae provide fiber installation or termination services?
Procure.ae focuses on procurement and can advise on fiber requirements. Reach out to discuss installation support or connections to local fiber termination services if needed.
What is the cable length and LC connector configuration?
The FC-SM-100 is a 100-foot single-mode fiber cable terminated with LC connectors on both ends, ready for direct connection to compatible Ubiquiti outdoor equipment.
What is the attenuation or loss specification for this single-mode fiber?
For detailed single-mode fiber specifications including attenuation per kilometer, contact Procure.ae to confirm exact performance metrics for your long-distance link requirements.
Is a warranty provided with this fiber cable?
Ubiquiti fiber cables include standard manufacturer warranty. For warranty coverage and handling of damaged cables, contact Procure.ae for guidance.
