Choose the correct fiber patch cord connector type. Different connectors are used to plug into different machines. If the port numbers of the devices on both sides are the same, we can use the LC-LC/SC-SC/MPO-MPO jumper. If you want to connect devices with different port numbers, LC-SC/LC-ST/LC-FC jumpers are likely to be more suitable.

Multimode fiber patch cords are suitable for transmitting data over long distances. Multimode fiber optic patch cords are suitable for short-circuit transmission. The jacket of the general multimode fiber optic patch cord is light yellow, while the jacket of the multimode fiber optic patch cord is orange or dark blue.

Choose the correct type of connector grinding and polishing

Because the loss of APC connectors is smaller than that of UPC connectors, in general, the electro-optical properties of APC connectors are better than that of UPC connectors.

In today's market, APC connectors are commonly used in more return loss sensitive applications such as FTTx, passive optical Internet and wavelength division multiplexing. However, APC connectors are usually more expensive than UPC connectors, so you should consider whether APC connectors are necessary according to your own specific situation. APC should be a factor to consider for these application sites that require high-precision metal data signals, but other system software that is not particularly sensitive will perform as well as UPC. Usually, the color of fiber jumpers with APC connectors is emerald green, and the color of UPC connectors is dark blue.

Choosing the Right Fiber Patch Cord Protection Generally, there are three types of jumper sheaths.
