Fiber optic patch cords and equipment cords - standard
Fiber optic patchcords are single-, dual-, or multifiber data cables that are factory-assembled with the commonly used fiber optic connectors β LC, SC, E-2000®, MTP®, SN®, CS®, MDC, etc. β and are used to connect IT hardware (e.g. switches, servers) equipped with fiber optic interfaces either directly βpoint-to-pointβ or, alternatively, to fiber optic infrastructure cabling. The terms used in the EN 50173 standard are equipment cord, patchcord and jumper.
Features
- Kink and crush resistance optimized for environmental conditions
- Suitable for operation in temperatures from -10 Β°C to +60 Β°C, patchcords for other temperature ranges on request
- Coding: full-duplex cables with duplex connectors on both sides "crossed" in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173
- Half-duplex cables with duplex/simplex connectors "uncrossed"
- Duplex cables with simplex connectors on both sides "uncrossed"
