Ordering Information
UCFIBRE™ Zipcord Interconnect FO part numbers are made up using the table below.The part number always starts with the letters ZICM to denote that it is a Zipcord Interconnect FO Cable with a LSZH sheath. This is followed by 1 number which symbolises the cable diameter, 2 numbers to respresent the number of cores and then 2 letters to denote the fibre type. Example of a ZICM part number: - SICM02M1 The above example describes an OM1 (62.5um), Zipcord Interconnect FO Cable (LSZH jacketing), with 2.0mm cable diameter.
