MU Patch Cord
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.
MU patch cords use MU connectors, which are small and provide reliable fiber optic connectivity. They are commonly used in high-density applications and offer efficient performance with low insertion loss.
