Description
Fiber optic patch cord is jumper cables from the equipment to the fibre optic cabling links, also called fiber optic jumper, fiber patch cord, fiber optic patch leads, etc. With a thick protective layer, it is generally used for the connection between the optical transceiver and the terminal box, widely applications like fibre optic communication systems, fibre optic access networks, fibre optic data transmission and local area networks.
Patch Cord Features
- High repeatability and high return loss;
- High stability and good interchangeability;
- Low insertion loss and high reliability;
- Three types of fiber end faces: PC, UPC, APC;
- The entire series of optical fibers can be used: multi-mode; (50/125, 62.5/125, OM3, OM4, OM5), single-mode (G.652, G.655, G.657, etc.);
- GR 326, IEC61300-2, ROHS, IEC61753-1, IEC61754 standard compliance.
Fiber Patch Cable Application
- FTTX (FTTH, FTTC, FTTB, FTTD, FTTA ,FTTR, etc. )
- Fiber optic data transmission
- Local network, wide area network, cable TV
- Fiber optic data transmission testing equipment and active device terminals
