Fiber patch cords are used to make patch cords from equipment to fiber optic cabling links. It has a thicker protective layer and is generally used in the connection between the optical transceiver and the terminal box, and is used in some fields such as optical fiber communication systems, optical fiber access networks, optical fiber data transmission, and local area networks.
Fiber jumper have connectors on both ends, if only one end with connectors called pigtail.
According to the transmission media Fiber jumper can be divided into single mode, multimode optical fiber jumper, and other transmission media such as plastic jumper.
According to connector type, it can be divided into: FCST SC LC MTRJ E2000 DIN D4 SMA FDDI MPOMTP patch cordand so on.
①FC type optical fiber jumper: The external strengthening method is a metal sleeve, and the fastening method is a turnbuckle. Generally used on the ODF side (the most used on the patch panel)
②SC type optical fiber jumper: the connector for connecting the GBIC optical module, its shell is rectangular, and the fastening method is the plug-and-pull type, which does not need to be rotated. (Most used on router switches)
③ST-type optical fiber jumper: commonly used in optical fiber distribution frame, the outer shell is round, and the fastening method is turnbuckle. (For 10Base-F connections, the connectors are usually ST type. Often used in fiber optic distribution frames)
④LC-type fiber jumper: a connector for connecting SFP modules, it is made with a modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism that is easy to operate. (commonly used by routers)
