Fiber Optic Jumper Overview

fiber optic cable Patch Cord is an optical fiber component with connectors at both ends. It is widely used in optical fiber communication systems, optical fiber access networks, optical fiber data tranSMission and local area networks. Its main function is to realize fast and reliable connection between optical fibers, so as to ensure efficient transmission of optical signals.

SC fiber patch cord

SC fiber optic jumper is a common type of fiber optic jumper. It uses a plug-and-pull pin-latch connector, which is characterized by easy operation and convenient insertion and unplugging. SC fiber optic jumper is usually used in multi-mode fiber optic systems, suitable for the connection scenario of fiber optic to subscriber units. Its shell generally adopts a rectangular structure, and the fastening method is to use a plug-and-pull pin latch without rotation. This design makes SC fiber optic jumper very convenient in installation and maintenance, which can quickly realize fiber optic connection and improve work efficiency. In addition, SC fiber optic jumper has stable performance, good optical properties and mechanical properties, and can ensure stable transmission of optical signals.

LC fiber patch cord

LC fiber optic jumpers have received a lot of attention for their miniaturized design. It uses a connector with a modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism, which is much smaller in size than traditional connectors. LC fiber optic jumpers are often used in scenarios of high-density fiber optic connections. For example, in data centers, due to limited space, a large number of fiber optic connections are required, and LC fiber optic jumpers can well meet this demand. Its miniaturized design not only saves space, but also makes it more flexible in operation. The optical performance of LC fiber optic jumpers is also excellent, which can ensure reliable transmission of high-speed data.

FC fiber patch cord

The connector of the FC fiber jumper adopts a threaded connection method. This connection method has high stability and anti-interference ability, so the FC fiber jumper is often used in some applications that require high connection stability, such as long-distance trunk networks. Its shell is generally round, and the fastening method is threaded, which needs to be rotated and tightened. Although it may be relatively complicated to install, its good stability makes it indispensable in some specific environments. The optical performance of the FC fiber jumper is also very excellent, which can ensure the quality of the optical signal during long-distance transmission.

Application scenarios of fiber optic jumpers

Fiber optic jumpers have important applications in many fields. In data centers, it is used to connect between servers, servers and storage devices to achieve high-speed data transmission. In telecommunications networks, fiber optic jumpers are used to connect between central office equipment and client equipment to ensure the normal operation of voice, data and other services. In addition, in the field of radio and television, fiber optic jumpers are also used for signal transmission to ensure that high-quality audio & video signals can be accurately transmitted to the client.

How to Choose the Right Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Choosing the right fiber optic jumper requires considering multiple factors. The first is the type of connection. Different types of fiber optic jumpers such as SC, LC or FC are selected according to the specific application scenario and device interface. The second is the type of fiber optic cable, including single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber. Single-mode fiber is suitable for long-distance transmission, and multi-mode fiber is suitable for short-distance transmission. In addition, the length of fiber optic jumper, optical performance indicators, etc. need to be considered. When choosing, a comprehensive evaluation should be carried out according to the actual needs to ensure that the most suitable fiber optic jumper is selected.
