Patch Cord

How to Choose OPTICO's Fiber Patchcords?

As one of the most basic components of optical network cabling, fiber optic patch cords are widely used in the construction of fiber optic links. Nowadays, fiber optic manufacturers launch many types of fiber optic patch cords according to different application scenarios, such as MPO/LC/SC/FC/ST/MTRJ/MU/E2000/DIN fiber optic patch cords, simplex/duplex fiber optic patch cords, singlemode/multimode fiber optic patch cords, etc., which have their own characteristics and are irreplaceable. optico produces a wide range of indoor and outdoor high quality fiber optic patch cords. The following helps you quickly identify and locate the fiber optic patch cords you you need.

Classification of fiber optic patch cords
 

Although these different types of fiber optic patch cords have similar components (consisting of connectors and fiber optic cables) and the same functionality, there is variability in application scenarios due to the different characteristics and performance between them.

 

 

Different Fiber Cable Composition Structure

Fiber optic patch cords can be divided into ribbon fiber optic patch cords and bundled fiber optic patch cords according to the different composition structure. Ribbon fiber optic patch cord is used by the fiber optic tape composed of ribbon fiber optic cable, mostly flat shape, because of the high fiber density, it can accommodate more cores, so greatly save cabling costs and space, while the bundle fiber optic patch cord is used in bundled fiber optic cables, which is usually composed of 0.9mm loose casing or loose set of fibers, most of them are round, mainly used for indoor integrated wiring.

Different Applications Scenes

According to the different application environments, fiber optic patch cords are divided into conventional fiber optic patch cords and reinforced fiber optic patch cords. Conventional fiber optic patch cords are characterized by lighter weight and lower cost, which can meet the use of most indoor transmission equipment and data center high-density cabling needs, so the conventional fiber optic patch cords are also more commonly used in daily life. Reinforced fiber optic patch cords are generally used in underground tunnels, base station construction and other harsh outdoor environments, so they usually need to have the ability to prevent insects and rodents from biting, waterproofing and high temperature resistance to avoid damage, affecting normal communications. In order to cope with the harsh environment, people according to the use of scenarios designed and developed different types of reinforced fiber optic patch cords, such as armored fiber optic patch cords, military-grade field fiber optic patch cords, IP67 waterproof fiber optic patch cords reinforced fiber optic patch cords, such as armored fiber optic patch cords, military-grade field fiber optic patch cords, waterproof fiber optic patch cords with IP67 waterproof fiber optic patch cords, as well as the FTTA pull distance patch cords and so on.

Different Polishing Angle

According to the different types of fiber optic connector polishing, fiber optic patch cords are divided into three types: PC, UPC and APC. PC fiber optic patch cord adopts micro-spherical grinding and polishing of connectors with black color; APC fiber optic patch cord adopts 8° beveled grinding and polishing of connectors with green color; UPC fiber optic patch cord optimizes the end face polishing and surface finish on the basis of PC fiber optic patch cord, with blue color. There are differences in the structure and performance of the three polishing methods of fiber optic patch cords, which are mainly reflected in the insertion loss and return loss. Among them, APC is the most popular polishing type at present.

Different Fiber Cores Count

According to the number of fiber cores, fiber optic patch cords can be divided into simplex (single core) fiber optic patch cords and duplex (dual core) fiber optic patch cords.

Different Tansmission Mode

According to the different optical transmission modes, fiber optic patch cords are divided into single-mode fiber optic patch cords and multi-mode fiber optic patch cords. Single-mode fiber optic patch cord can only transmit a mode of light, inter-mode dispersion is small, suitable for long-distance communication, while multi-mode fiber optic patch cord can transmit multi-mode mode of light at a time, inter-mode dispersion is large, and with the growth of the transmission distance, the inter-mode dispersion intensifies, so it is more suitable for short-distance transmission.

Different Outer Sheath Material

PVC and LSZH are the commonly used jacket materials for fiber optic patch cords.PVC fiber optic patch cords are more pliable and flexible when installed at normal temperatures, and are usually used indoors, such as in the laying of horizontal sub-wiring systems. Compared with PVC patch cords, LSZH (Low Smoke and Halogen Free) fiber optic patch cords contain flame retardant compounds that do not release toxic fumes when burned, and are commonly used in unventilated areas exposed to public places such as subways and tunnels.

High reliability and stability

The reliability and stability of patch cords are crucial to the stability of data transmission, so OPTICO chooses CCTC high-quality ceramic inserts, YOFC/Corning and other big-name fiber cores, as well as high-quality brand-new sheath materials to produce a variety of patch cords.
So far, its stability data has been fully certified by the third-party laboratory CTI.
