How to choose the right fiber patch cord for 10G transceiver?
August 05 , 2022Fiber optic patch cords, also known as fiber patch cord or fiber jumper, are basic and important components used to connect devices and components in fiber optic networks. There are many types of fiber jumpers, such as single-mode fiber jumpers, multi-mode fiber jumpers, 10G OM3 fiber jumpers, 10G OM4 fiber jumpers, MPO fiber cables, etc. This article mainly introduces how to choose a suitable fiber jumper for 10G transceivers ?
Transmission distance is the first factor to consider when selecting fiber patch cables for 10G SFP+ transceivers. Single-mode fiber optic patch cords are used for long-distance transmission, and multi-mode fiber optic patch cables are used for short-distance transmission. Then you need to consider the transmit and receive ports on the SFP+ transceiver. Most 10G SFP+ transceivers use duplex LC ports, while bidirectional SFP+ transceivers use simplex ports. Therefore, depending on the port type on the SFP+ transceiver, choose a simplex LC fiber optic patch cord or a duplex LC fiber optic patch cord accordingly. The figure below presents the detailed cabling information for the 10G SFP+ transceiver.
Understanding the application and required features is the first step in identifying the necessary supplies. Your choice will affect the level of fiber protection, ease of installation, splicing or termination, and most importantly, cost. How to choose the fiber patch cord you really need? You need to consider all these factors. Then make the right choice. Or you can directly consult FiberWDM.
