Definitions for "Duplex Cable"
A cable composed of two insulated conductors twisted together with no sheath or outer covering. The assembled cables may or may not have a common covering or sheath.
Two, side-by-side simplex cable sub-units surrounded by a single polymer jacket.
A duplex cable consists of two separately buffered fibers, joined together into one fiber optic cable. A duplex cable resembles two simplex cables fused together along their length, like a lamp wire. Duplex cable ends may be distributed and terminated separately, or they might be connectorized with one duplex connector, such as the MT-RJ. Duplex cables are most useful as a two-way communication channel, such as a transmit/receive pair running to a computer. See also: Simplex cable, fiber optic cable
