Fiber optic patch cord is a fiber optic cable used to connect two devices or between a device and a fiber optic patch panel. It consists of optical fiber, connector and protective cover, and is used to achieve flexible point-to-point connection in fiber optic communication system. Fiber optic patch cord has a thicker protective layer and is often used for connection between optical terminal and terminal box. It is used in fiber optic communication system, fiber optic access network, fiber optic data transmission and local area network.
Fiber optic patch cord can be divided into single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber optic patch cord according to different transmission media. Single-mode fiber is suitable for long-distance and high-speed transmission, while multi-mode fiber is suitable for short-distance and medium-speed network. According to the connector structure, fiber optic patch cord has FC, SC, ST, LC, MPO and other types, each type is suitable for different equipment interfaces and application requirements.
Fiber optic patch cord has the advantages of low insertion loss, good repeatability, high bandwidth and long life. It is suitable for internal connection of data center, LAN wiring, fiber to the home (FTTH) and temporary connection line in testing and maintenance of fiber optic network. When selecting a fiber optic patch cord, you need to consider factors such as fiber type, connector type, transmission distance, data rate, and environmental adaptability to ensure that the selected fiber optic patch cord can meet the needs of specific applications.
