Fiber Optic Jumper

Fiber optic jumpers are used to make jumper wires from equipment to fiber optic cabling links. It has a thick protective layer and is generally used for the connection between optical transceivers and terminal boxes. It is applied in some fields such as fiber optic communication systems, fiber optic access networks, fiber optic data transmission, and local area networks.

Fiber optic jumper (also known as fiber optic connector) refers to the installation of connector plugs at both ends of an optical cable to achieve active connection of the optical path; If one end is equipped with a plug, it is called a tail fiber. Optical Fiber Patch Cord/Cable is similar to coaxial cable, but without a mesh shielding layer. The center is a glass core for light propagation. In multimode optical fibers, the diameter of the core ranges from 50 μ m to 65 μ m, roughly equivalent to the thickness of human hair. The diameter of single-mode fiber cores ranges from 8 μ m to 10 μ m. The core is surrounded by a glass envelope with a lower refractive index than the core to keep the optical fiber inside the core. On the outside is a thin plastic jacket used to protect the envelope.
