Introduction

Fiber optic patch cord is also known as fiber optic jumper or fiber optic patch cable. It’s made of two parts: optical connector and fiber optic cable. Inside of the fiber optic patch cord, there is a core with a high refractive index surrounded by a coating with a low refractive index. Due to the transparency of the core and coating’s low refractive index, optic signals could transmit with little loss over long distances. Outside of the coating, there is a protective jacket which could protect the core and coating. Classification

Fiber optic patch cord could be classified into various types by different standards.

As the development of computer science technology, 10 Gigabit Ethernet is widely used in our daily life. 10 Gigabit Ethernet means a group of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabytes per second. Like previous versions of Ethernet, 10GbE can use either copper or fiber cable. However, it requires higher bandwidth. So SFP+ cables are developed. SFP+ cables can provide high performance in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network applications and send 10Gbps data through one paired transmitters and receivers over a thin twinax cable.

Types of SFP+ Cables 

Now there are many types of SFP+ cables available for use including the SFP+ direct attach cables, SFP+ active optical cables, SFP+ passive copper cables and SFP+ loopback cables. ... Read more »
