LC Patch Cords
LC patch cords have small LC connectors, making them ideal for high-density fiber optic environments. They offer reliable connectivity, low insertion loss, and are commonly used in data centers and telecommunications networks.
Single-mode fiber patch cords
Single-mode fiber patch cords are used for long-distance communication. There are different types of single-mode fibers, such as G657A (bend-insensitive), G652D (widely used for long-haul communication), and G655A (non-zero dispersion-shifted for long-haul networks).
Multi-mode fiber patch cords
Multi-mode fiber patch cords are used for short-distance communication. They include different types like OM1 (lower bandwidth), OM2 (higher bandwidth), OM3 (high-bandwidth), OM4 (further improved version of OM3), and OM5 (designed for high bandwidth over long distances).
- Simplex fiber patch cords have a single fiber core and are used for long-distance or short-distance communication. They are available in single-mode or multi-mode variants and various connector types.
- Duplex fiber patch cords have two separate fiber cores for bi-directional communication. They are used for high-speed data transmission over longer distances, and they also come in single-mode or multi-mode variants with different connector types.
MPO/MTP patch cables
MPO/MTP patch cables use a multi-fiber push-on/pull-off (MPO/MTP) connector to connect multiple fibers together in a single connector. They can be single-mode or multi-mode and are commonly used in data centers or long-distance telecommunications networks.
