RoHS compliant fibre optic patch cords shall include simplex or
duplex LC, SC, ST or MT-RJ connectors, or FJ or keyed FJ plugs or
jacks on both ends. RoHS compliant fibre optic pigtails shall include
simplex or duplex LC, SC, ST, or MT-RJ connectors, or FJ or keyed
FJ plugs or jacks on one end and open (unterminated) on the other
end. Patch cords and pigtails shall include laser optimised OM4, OM3
fibre or OM2, OM1 or OS1/OS2 fiber in 900µm tight-buffered fibre,
1.6mm or 3.0mm simplex or duplex zipcord jacketed cable, or 1.8mm
duplex zipcord jacketed cable. Jacketed cable shall be compliant with
IEC-60332-3 (LSZH) flame ratings. Patch cords and pigtails shall meet
or exceed requirements of TIA/EIA-568-C.3. The fibre connectors shall
be FOCIS compliant or compatible, and exceed the requirements of
TIA/EIA-455-21A for 500 mating cycles.
