The Difference Between Fiber Patch Cord and Fiber Pigtail
The Difference Between Fiber Patch Cord and Fiber Pigtail F iber pigtails patch cords are cables directly connected to desktop computers or devices to facilitate device connection and management. Patch cords have a thicker protective layer and are often used between terminal boxes and optical transceivers. Only one end of the pigtail has a connector. The other end is an optical fiber connector connected to other optical fiber cores in the form of fusion splicing and generally appears in the optical fiber terminal box. Ⅰ. Specifications and types of fiber patch cords and pigtails Optical fiber patch cord is generally distinguished by single-mode and multi-mode in data transmission equipment. The color of the single-mode patch cord is usually yellow. There are two wavelengths, 1310nm, and 1550nm. The transmission distance is 10km and 40km, respectively; The color of the multi-mode patch cord is usually orange, aqua, magenta, etc. The wavelength is 850nm, and the transmission distanc
