Optical fiber jumper refers to that the connector plugs are installed on both ends of the optical cable. In optical fiber communication, the common specifications of optical fiber connectors are SC, FC, SC, MTRJ, LC and other models. Optical fiber jumpers have a thicker protective layer and are generally used in the connection between optical transceivers and terminals.

Fiber patch cords are divided into single-mode and multi-mode. Single-mode fiber jumpers are generally yellow, and multi-mode fiber jumpers are generally orange. Fiber jumpers are relatively soft and are mainly used for indoor wiring.

The connector of the optical fiber jumper is relatively fragile, and the maintenance of the optical fiber jumper is more complicated than that of the ordinary network cable.

First, when using fiber jumper wiring, the connector of the fiber must be protected with a protective cover, so as not to be contaminated with oil and dust, which will damage the coupling of the fiber and affect the transmission speed and distance.

Second, if the connector of the optical fiber jumper is dirty, it will affect the transmission effect, so protect the connector. If it is accidentally dirty, it is best to use alcohol to clean it instead of water.

The third is to protect the ferrule and the end face of the ferrule to prevent bumps and pollution, and put on a dust cap in time after disassembly.

Fourth, when the optical fiber is wired, it is necessary to pull the cable as straight as possible to reduce multiple bends. In case of bending, the radius should not exceed 30MM, otherwise it will damage the fiber core and easily affect the transmission speed of light.

Fifth, lay the optical fiber well to avoid being stepped on and causing damage.

The cost of optical fiber is relatively high, and it has not completely replaced copper cables at present. Copper cable is still the first choice for office wiring, home wiring, residential wiring, and dormitory wiring, and its installation and maintenance costs are relatively low.
