What is 144 fiber optic cable?
Singlemode OS2 fiber cable is made for miles-long high-speed runs such as large colleges and industrial parks. At 144 strands, twisted-pair Corning Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable can handle the traffic levels associated with these large networks. The fibers are grouped into tubes and color-coded to make wiring easier.

What are the different sizes of fiber optic cable?
There are three common core sizes: 9/125, 50/125, and 62.5/125. Each of those numbers stands for a measurement, and that measurement is in microns.
What does OM1 fiber mean?
62.5 micron multimode
The designations indicate a particular level of performance. OS levels are for singlemode fiber and OM levels are for multimode fiber. OM1 is for is for standard 62.5 micron multimode glass. OM2 is for standard 50 micron glass. OM3 is for enhanced 50 micron glass (capable of 10 gigabit Ethernet out to 300m).
