Fiber Optic Patch Cord
Fiber optic patch cords are used to make patch cords from equipment to fiber optic cabling links. With a thicker protective layer, it is generally used in the connection between optical terminals and terminal boxes and is applied in some fields such as fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic access networks, fiber optic data transmission, and local area networks. Fiber optic patch cords are similar to coaxial cables, except that they do not have a mesh shield. Fiber optic patch cords are optical fiber cables fitted with connector plugs at both ends, used to achieve the optical path of the active connection, one end is equipped with a plug called a pigtail.
Fiber Optic Patch Cord Types
Fiber optic patch cords, and access to the optical module of the fiber optic connector variety, and not common to each other. For example, the SFP module is connected to the LC fiber optic connector, while the GBIC is connected to the SC fiber optic connector. The following is a detailed description of several commonly used fiber optic connectors in network engineering:
FC 2.0mm 3.0mm Fiber Optic Patch Cord
The fiber optic patch cord is mainly used on patch panels or for the connection between outlets and terminal equipment. It is also widely used for high-bit-rate data transmission, telecommunications, testing instruments, active device terminations, LAN/WAN, and FTTX. External reinforcement is by using a metal sleeve, and the fastening method is screw fastening. Generally used on the ODF side (most used on the distribution frame).

G652d/G657a ST PVC LSZH Singlemode Fiber Optic Patch Cord
ST connectors, or Straight Tip connectors, make use of a semi-unique bayonet connection with a 2.5mm ferrule. ST are great fiber optic connectors for field installation due to their reliability and durability. They are available in both simplex and duplex. Commonly used in fiber optic distribution frames, the housing is round and the fastening method is screw fastening. For 10Base-F connections, the connector is usually an ST type, commonly used in fiber optic patch panels.

Fiber optic patch cords can also be divided into common silicon fiber single-mode, armoured fiber optic patch cord, and multi-mode patch cords according to the different transmission media, as well as other fiber optic patch cords such as plastic as a transmission medium.
The structure of the connector can be divided into FC jumper, SC jumper, ST jumper, LC jumper, MTRJ jumper, MPO jumper, MU jumper, SMA jumper, FDDI jumper, E2000 jumper, DIN4 jumper, D4 jumper, and so on various forms.
The more common fiber optic patch cords can also be divided into FC-FC, FC-SC, FC-LC, FC-ST, SC-SC, SC-ST, and so on. Fiber optic fast connectors, which are devices for removable and movable connections between optical fibers, are essential in the use of optical fibers.

Fiber Optic Patch Cord Color Code
Fiber optic patch cords in use at both ends of the optical module of the transceiver wavelength must be the same, that is to say, the two ends of the fiber must be the same wavelength of the optical module, a simple way to distinguish between the optical module color to be the same.
In general, short-wave optical modules use multi-mode fiber (orange fiber), and long-wave optical modules use single-mode fiber (yellow fiber) to ensure the accuracy of data transmission. Do not overbend and loop the optical fiber in use, as this will increase the attenuation of light in the transmission process. Patch cord fibra optica SC LC must be protected with a protective sleeve to protect the fiber optic connector after use, dust and oil will damage the fiber optic coupling.
According to the fire rating of the building and the fire resistance requirements for materials, the integrated wiring system should take appropriate measures. Flame-retardant cables and fiber-optic cables should be used for placing cables or fiber-optic cables in flammable areas and building shafts; flame-retardant, low-smoke, and low-toxicity cables or fiber-optic cables are preferred for large-scale public places; flame-retardant wiring equipment should be used for the adjacent equipment rooms or handover rooms.
