The Mode of Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber Jumper refers the fiber optic connected directly with a desktop computer or device that facilitate the connection and manage the device. Fiber Optic Cables from the device used to make fiber optic cabling link. There is a thick layer of protetion, generally used in the connection between the optical transceiver and terminal box.

The structure of fiber optic cables:

The fiber optic patch cable is similar to coaxial cable, but no mesh shield. The center is glass core of light travelled. In Multimode fiber calbes, core diameter is 15μm ~ 50μm, as much as a human hair. Single Mode Fiber Cables core diameter is 8μm ~ 10μm. outside the core surrounding the glass envelope which a refractive index lower than the core, in order to keep the fiber optic within the core. And then the outside is a thin plastic that protect the envelope.

The classification of fiber optic cable:

Fiber jumpers in different transmission media can be divided into common silicon single mode and multimode optical fiber, there are others such as Plastic optical fiber as the transmission medium; Fiber jumper can be divided in connector structure: FC fiber cable，sc fiber cable，ST fiber calbe, LC fiber cable and other forms. More common fiber optic cables can be divided into FC-FC, FC-SC, FC-LC, FC-ST, SC-SC, SC-ST, etc.

Single-mode Fiber: generally indicated by the yellow fiber optic patch cords, connetor and protective cover in blue, and transmission distance is longer

Multi-mode Fiber: fiber optic calbes in orange, and some in gray, connetor and protective cover with beige or black, and transmission distance is short.

The notes of optic fiber using:

1. Wavelength transceiver modules must be identical at both ends of the fiber jumpers, that must be the same at both ends of the fiber wavelength

optical module, a simple distinction is that the color of the light optic module must be consistent. Under normal circumstances, shortwave

optical module using multimode fiber (orange fiber), long wavelength using single-mode fiber module (yellow fibers) to ensure the accuracy of

data transmission.

2. Do not bend and circling excessively in using the fiber optic, this will increase the light attenuation in the transmission process.

3. After using fiber optic cables, must use protective sleeve protected fiber optic connector, dust and oil will damage the fiber coupling

4. If the fiber optic connectors are dirty, you can use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean, otherwise it will affect the quality of

communication.

The features of fiber optic cables:

1. Low insertion loss
2. Good repeatability
3. Massive return loss
4. Good mutual insert performance
5. Good temperature stability

Application of fiber optic patch cables:

1. Optical fiber communication system
2. Optical Access Network
3. The data transmission of fiber optic
4. Optical fiber CATV
5. Local Area Network (LAN)
6. Test Equipment

Fiberstore.com Guide of Product Selection

Fiber jumpers by Termination are mainly the following three types: ST-ST, SC-SC, ST-SC. By category mainly are fiber single-mode and multimode

fiber. Jumper length specifications 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m and so on. The cable outer sheath materials can be divided into common type, common

flame retardant, low smoke zero halogen, low smoke zero halogen flame retardant, etc.
