Fiber Optic Patch Cables and Network Patch Cable

From the wiki we know that “A patch cable or patch cord or patch lead is an electrical or optical cable used to connect (“patch-in”) one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (e.g., a switch connected to a computer, or a switch to a router) are connected with patch cords.” At Sopto,we supply the patch cables such as Fiber Optic Patch Cables and Network Patch Cables.

Fiber Optic Patch Cables

Fiber Optic Patch Cable is used for patch cords from the device to the optical fiber link. It has a thicker layer, commonly used in optical transceiver and the connection between the terminal box. Similar to the fiber optic patch cord and coaxial cable, just do not mesh shield. The center is the light propagation in a glass core. In a multimode optical fiber, the core diameter is 50μm to 65μm, and quite substantially with the thickness of a human hair. Single mode fiber core diameter is from 8μm to 10μm. The core surrounded by a layer of lower refractive index than the core glass envelope, so that the optical fiber holder in the core. And then the outside is a thin layer of plastic jacket to protect the envelope.

Fiber Optic Patch Cable Note:

1, Do not excessive bending and around the ring of the optical fiber in use, this would increase the light attenuation in the transmission process.

2, At the ends of the fiber optic jumper optical wavelength of transceiver module must agree, that is to say the ends of the optical fiber must be the same wavelengths of light module, a simple way to distinguish is the color of the light module.

3, It must use cases to guard the optical fiber connector, dust and oil pollution can damage the optical fiber coupling after using the Fiber optic jumpers.

Network Patch Cables

Network Patch Cables are thought of as an Ethernet cable, and the term “Ethernet patch cable” is often substituted. While these cables are routinely used to connect Ethernet devices, they also are used in many different telecommunications applications. ATMs are one of the more commonly used high-speed technologies that employ network patch cables.

In most cases, network patch cables will be provided as a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) unless otherwise specified. This shielding, when included, helps to cut down on outside EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) which can impact data throughput.

The advantages of stranded cables is that they are more flexible, which is critical for cabling that will require bending, like that which happens when cabling is pulled through walls and ceilings. While stranded cable serves a purpose, it has a reduced distance rating.

In Sopto , we provide the network patch cord include Cat5E Patch Cables,Cat6 Patch Cables,Cat6A Patch Cables,Cat7 Patch Cables, telephone Cables and some other more network cables.
