Fiber Optic Cable Types We Carry
Singlemode Fiber — OS1 / OS2
Yellow jacket. 9/125 µm core. Designed for long-distance transmission — campus backbone runs, inter-building links and telecom infrastructure. OS2 (low-water-peak) is the current standard for new singlemode installations. Available with LC, SC, FC and ST connectors in any length.
OM3 Multimode Fiber — 10G
Aqua jacket. 50/125 µm core. Supports 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR) to 300 metres. The standard for server room and data centre short-run connections. Compatible with 10G SFP+ transceivers. Available LC-LC duplex in standard lengths 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m and custom.
OM4 Multimode Fiber — 10G / 40G / 100G
Erika violet or aqua jacket. 50/125 µm core. Supports 10 Gbps to 550 metres, 40 Gbps to 150 metres, 100 Gbps to 100 metres. Preferred for high-density data centre environments. Backward compatible with OM3 equipment.
OM1 / OM2 Multimode Fiber — Legacy
Orange jacket. 62.5/125 µm (OM1) or 50/125 µm (OM2). Supports 1 Gbps applications. Used for repairs, extensions and replacements in legacy multimode infrastructure. We stock these specifically for organizations maintaining older fiber plants.
Armored Fiber Patch Cables
Stainless steel interlocked armor jacket over the standard fiber construction. Used in environments where cables are subject to crushing, rodent damage or repeated flexing — raised floors, cable trays, outdoor conduit, industrial environments. Available in singlemode and multimode, all connector types.
Pre-Terminated Fiber Assemblies
Factory-terminated fiber assemblies with pulling eyes for long pulls through conduit. Available in MTP/MPO trunk cables for high-density 40G/100G data centre cabling, and in standard duplex configurations for structured fiber backbone runs. Custom lengths built to order.
Connector Types — Choosing the Right Combination
Fiber patch cables are specified by the connector type at each end. The most common combinations we supply are listed below with their typical applications.
LC-LC Duplex
The current standard for 10G, 40G and 100G data centre and server room connections. Small form factor — fits SFP, SFP+ and QSFP transceivers. Available in OS2, OM3 and OM4.
SC-SC Duplex
Push-pull connector used in older enterprise switches, patch panels and telecom equipment. Larger than LC. Common in legacy infrastructure upgrades and telecom rooms.
LC-SC Duplex
Hybrid cable for connecting LC-port equipment to SC-port patch panels or switches. Common during infrastructure migrations where both connector types are present.
ST-ST
Bayonet-style connector used in older campus backbone and building distribution fiber. Still widely found in educational institutions, government buildings and industrial facilities installed before 2005.
LC-ST / SC-ST
Hybrid cables for connecting modern LC or SC equipment to legacy ST patch panels. Essential for organizations incrementally upgrading their fiber infrastructure without replacing entire panels.
FC-LC / FC-SC
Screw-type FC connector used in test equipment, DWDM systems and some telecom applications. We stock FC hybrid cables for lab and telecom environments.
MTP / MPO
Multi-fiber push-on connector — carries 12 or 24 fibers in a single connector. Used for 40G and 100G trunk cabling in high-density data centres. Available as MTP-MTP trunk assemblies and MTP fanout (breakout) cables to LC duplex.
Not Sure Which Connector You Need?
Check the port label on your switch, transceiver or patch panel — it will say LC, SC, ST or FC. If you have a mix of connector types at each end, you need a hybrid cable. Call us with your switch model and we’ll confirm the right cable — 1-877-450-2134.
Custom Fiber Patch Cable Orders
Standard patch cable lengths (1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m) cover most installations — but data centres with specific rack layouts, campus backbone runs and industrial installations frequently require non-standard lengths.
Cablify supplies custom fiber patch cables built to your exact specifications:
- Any length from 0.5m to 300m+
- Any connector combination — LC, SC, ST, FC, MTP/MPO
- Singlemode OS2 or multimode OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4
- Simplex, duplex or multi-fiber trunk configurations
- Standard, armored or low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket
- Plenum-rated jacket available for air-handling spaces
- Custom labeling and color-coding on request
Typical turnaround: 3–7 business days for custom assemblies. Rush orders available — call to confirm availability.
To place a custom fiber cable order, provide:
- Connector type at each end (e.g. LC-LC, LC-SC)

Frequently Asked Questions — Buying Fiber Optic Cables in Canada
Do you ship fiber optic cables across Canada?
Yes. Cablify ships fiber patch cables and custom fiber assemblies to all Canadian provinces and territories. Standard stocked configurations typically ship within 1–3 business days. Free delivery on orders over $100. We ship to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal, Winnipeg, Halifax and all points in between.
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber?
Singlemode fiber (OS2, yellow jacket) carries a single light mode over long distances — used for campus backbone, inter-building and telecom runs. Multimode fiber (OM3/OM4, aqua jacket) carries multiple light modes over shorter distances — used for server room and data centre connections up to 300–550 metres. Choose singlemode for runs over 300m and multimode for short data centre connections.
Can you make custom length fiber patch cables?
Yes. We supply custom fiber patch cables in any length from 0.5m to 300m+, any connector combination (LC, SC, ST, FC, MTP/MPO) and any fiber type (OS2, OM3, OM4). Standard, armored and LSZH jacket options available. Send your specifications to info@cablify.ca for a same-day quote.
How do I know which connector type I need?
Check the port label on your switch, transceiver or patch panel — it will say LC, SC, ST or FC. Your transceiver (SFP, SFP+, QSFP) datasheet will also specify the required connector. Most modern 10G and 25G SFP+ transceivers use LC connectors. If you have different connectors at each end, you need a hybrid patch cable (e.g. LC-SC).
Do you supply fiber cables to government and educational institutions?
Yes. We regularly supply fiber patch cables, custom assemblies and fiber infrastructure equipment to federal and provincial government organizations, universities, colleges and school boards across Canada. We can provide product documentation, certificates of conformance and delivery receipts for procurement compliance.
Do you offer trade pricing for cabling contractors?
Yes. We offer volume pricing for IT contractors, MSPs and cabling companies that purchase regularly. Contact us at info@cablify.ca with your company details and anticipated monthly volume to set up a trade account.
