OS1 and OS2 Single mode optical fiber standards
OS2 specifications are included in the new IEC 60794-3 standards for Outdoor fiber optic cables. The reason is that OS2 single mode optical fibers support single mode operation for 5km and 10km at 10G.
Fiber Optic Cable Types Explained
OS1 single mode fiber optic cables are made with a single mode fiber core, which means that they have a very small core diameter of 9 microns. This allows the cables to transmit data over much longer
