FAQs of Standard Patch Cord
Pigtail And Patch Cord
If fiber is terminated with a connector at only one end of a cable, it is known as a fiber pigtail; if fiber are terminated with connectors at both ends, it is known as a patch cord or fiber jumper.
Single-mode Patch Cord And Multimode Patch Cord
Single-mode (SM) fiber patch cord uses 9/125um glass fiber, Multimode (MM) fiber patch cord uses 50/125um or 62.5/125um glass fiber. Single-mode and multimode refer to the fiber cable types. Single-mode Fiber Patch Cord used in long-distance data transmission and multimode patch cord uses in short-distance transmission. Basically, single-mode patch cord uses yellow fiber cable, while multi-mode patch cord uses orange, violet or beige cable.
Cable Jacket Material And Cable Diameter
There are various kinds of fiber cable jacket materials (sheath materials) for different environments and applications (harsh environment, ordinary environment, indoors, or outdoors etc.) like, Riser, Plenum, PVC (OFNR, OFNP), LSZH. Typically, fiber cable diameter can be 0.25mm (bare fiber), 0.9mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm.
Simplex And Duplex
Simplex means this Fiber Patch Cord is with one cord, at each end there is only one fiber connector. Duplex can be regarded as two Fiber Patch Cord put side by side. Duplex Fiber Patch Cord usually with Clip on the fiber Connector to combine them.
