Description
Fiber optic patch cord are used as jumper wires from equipment to fiber optic cabling links. It has a thick protective layer and is generally used for the connection between optical terminals and terminal boxes. It is applied in some fields such as fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic access networks, fiber optic data transmission, and local area networks.
Armored patch cord is fiber patch cord with armored strength member, it can be armored cable 1 core, 2 core, 4 core… 24 cores or more, and the armored normally is Generally spiral corrugated armo, there are many structure as below:
