Optical Fiber Patch CordSC, FC, ST, LC Fiberguide Industries Technical Data
DESCRIPTION REFERENCE SUMMARY
A patch cord or
fiber jumper is an optical
cable, used to connect ("patch-in") one electronic or optical device to
another for signal routing. Devices of different types (i.e.: a
switch connected to a computer, or
switch to router)
are connected with patch cords. Patch cords are usually produced in many different colors so as to be easily distinguishable, and are relatively short, perhaps no longer than two meters. Patch cords can be as short as 3 inches or 8cm, to connect stacked components, or route signals through a patchbay or as much as twenty feet or 6m or more in length for snake
cables. As length increases,
cables are usually
thicker, and/or made with more shielding, to prevent signal loss (attenuation) and the introduction of unwanted
radio frequencies and hum (electromagnetic interference). Patch cords also come in hybrid varieties with one type of connector on one end and another type of connector onthe other. Jumpers are used in the same manner as patch cords, to connect end devices or network hardware to
the structured cabling system. Fiber patch cords come in either single mode or multimode and should be selected to match the structured cablingsystem. The only exception to this is mode conditioning patch cords (also known as mode conditioning
fiber
jumpers) that are required when transmitting gigabit signals over 200m on 62.5 micron multimode
fiber. Product Category: Optical Fiber Patch Cord Trade Name: SC, FC, ST, LC
