Fiber jumpers (also known as fiber optic connectors, fiber optic connector FC jumper, SC jumpers, ST jumpers, LC jumper, MTRJ jumper, MPO jumper, MU jumper, SMA jumper, FDDI Jumper, E2000 jumper, DIN4 jumper, D4 jumper so a variety of forms. more common fiber jumpers can also be divided FC-FC, FC-SC, FC-LC, FC-ST, SC-SC, SC-ST et al.) refers to the cable ends are fitted with a connector plug, used to achieve optical active connections; the end containing the plug is called pigtails. [1] fiber jumpers (Optical Fiber Patch Cord / Cable) and coaxial cable similar, but no mesh shield. Center is the glass core of light propagation. In a multimode fiber, the core diameter is 50μm ~ 65μm, roughly the thickness of a human hair fairly. The single-mode fiber core diameter of 8μm ~ 10μm. Outside the core surrounded by a layer of lower refractive index than the core glass envelope, in order to remain within the fiber core. Then the outside is a thin plastic coat used to protect the envelope.
Fiber jumpers in different transmission media can be divided into common silicon
Common fiber jumpers head
Single-mode fiber, multimode jumpers, as well as other fiber jumpers in plastic as the transmission medium; form by connecting head structure can be divided into: FC jumper, SC jumpers, ST jumpers, LC jumpers, MTRJ jumper, MPO jumper, MU jumper, SMA jumper, FDDI jumper, E2000 jumper, DIN4 jumper, D4 jumper so a variety of forms. More common fiber jumpers can also be divided FC-FC, FC-SC, FC-LC, FC-ST, SC-SC, SC-ST and the like.
Single-mode fiber (Single-mode Fiber): General fiber jumper with yellow connector and protective sleeve blue; longer transmission distance.
Multimode fiber (Multi-mode Fiber): General fiber jumpers in orange, and some in gray, fittings and protection apply beige or black; transmission distance is shorter.
