Looking for an NSN Fiber Cable for your Nokia telecom equipment?
NSN Fiber Cable is a fiber optic cable assembly designed for telecom network applications, particularly Nokia-related base station and FTTA deployments.It provides reliable fiber-optic connections between the BBU and RRU/RRH, as well as between the RRU and the antenna, and is suitable for data transmission based on the CPRI protocol in mobile communication networks.
Common NSN Fiber Cable Configurations
Common fiber optic types include single-mode OS2, G.652D, G.657.A1, and G.657.A2, as well as multimode OM3, OM4, and OM5; single-mode fiber is commonly used for telecommunications applications such as Nokia/NSN base stations and FTTA. Connector options include LC Duplex, LC/UPC, LC/APC, and Nokia/NSN-compatible interfaces, with support for customized connector combinations.
What to Consider for Outdoor Applications?
For NSN fiber cables deployed outdoors, adaptability to the outdoor environment is a key consideration. First, it is essential to verify the product's water resistance and sealing performance, as well as whether the connectors offer the appropriate IP-rated protection (e.g., IP67 or IP68).
Additionally, for cables subject to prolonged exposure to elements such as sunlight and rain, the cable jacket material must be suitable for outdoor use. Furthermore, the cable length should be determined in advance based on the distance between the equipment and the actual installation site to avoid issues caused by insufficient or excessive length.
How to Choose the Right NSN Fiber Cable?

Confirm equipment model and connector interface
When purchasing NSN fiber optic cables, the first step is to verify equipment and interface details, including the Nokia/NSN equipment model or part number, the required connector interface, and whether Single Mode (SM) or Multimode (MM) fiber is needed. This information is crucial for ensuring the cable is compatible with your existing equipment.
Confirm fiber specifications and cable length
You need to clarify specific fiber specifications and cable lengths—such as OS2, G.652D, G.657.A1, OM3, or OM4, and lengths like 5m, 10m, 20m, 30m, or custom sizes. It is also essential to specify whether the application is indoor or outdoor, as outdoor use typically entails stricter requirements regarding jacketing, waterproofing, UV resistance, and mechanical protection.
Confirm quantity and required delivery time
Finally, B2B procurement requires confirming the quantity, destination country, and required delivery time. Clearly specifying details such as the device model, connector type, fiber type, length, application environment, and order quantity upfront enables the supplier to accurately determine the product configuration and provide a more tailored quotation and delivery schedule.
