The application of optical fiber patch cord is more and more widely, and it is often used in communication room, local area network, cable TV, light into the home and other system networks, but it is relatively fragile, so we need to be extra careful when wiring. So how should the optical fiber patch cord be connected? And what are the precautions in the use process?

Optical fiber patch cord is to connect two optical fiber devices. There are many types of patch cord connectors, such as ST-ST, ST-LC, LC-LC, ST-SC and so on. The model you choose depends on whether your optical fiber device interface is ST or LC. The optical fiber patch cord can be connected to the optical splitter or optical distribution frame, and then connected to the optical transceiver, which can convert the optical signal into the electrical signal we usually use.

Optical fiber patch cord is used to connect network equipment at both ends. Normally, ST connector patch cord is used to connect optical fiber box; The LC/SC connector patch cord is connected to the optical module of the switch; SC connector patch cord is used to connect optical fiber transceiver; FC connector patch cord connects optical transceiver and ODF rack. In general, the optical fiber from telecommunication bureau to enterprise first uses multimode optical fiber to the enterprise host room, then enters the optical terminal, converts into RJ45 signal, enters the enterprise firewall, then enters the CORE, converts into optical fiber through optical fiber transceiver and optical fiber patch cord, and then transmits to each extension room through the internal optical fiber of the enterprise.

We take the optical modules of switches at both ends as an example. The interface types of general optical modules are LC, SC and MPO, and the most common is the patch cord of duplex LC interface. When connecting the optical modules at both ends, the duplex LC patch cord interface has a end and B end. When connecting, the A end needs to be connected to the B end, and the B end needs to be connected to the A end.

When inserting the optical fiber patch cord into the optical module, remember to plug it tightly. The sound of "Da" means that the optical fiber patch cord has been inserted tightly.

The above is about the application of optical fiber patch cord and the precautions in use, hope to help you, thank you for your support!
