DESCRIPTION
A fiber optic patch cord is a fiber optic cable capped at either end with connectors that allow it to be rapidly and conveniently connect ed to CATV, an optical switch or other telecommunication equip­ment. Its thick layer of protection is used to connect the optical trans­mitter, receiver, and the terminal box. This is known as “intercon­nect-style cabling”

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Fiber optic patch cords are characterized by: Low insertion loss
High return loss
Good repeatability
Good interchange
Excellent environmental adaptability

APPLICATIONS
Patch cables are used for connections to CATV (Cable Television}, telecommunica­tion networks, computer fiber networks and fiber test equipment. Applications in­clude communication rooms, FIIH (Fiber to The Home), LAN (Local Area Network}, FOS (fiber optic sensor), Fiber Optic Com­munication System, Optical fiber connect­ ed and transmitted equipment, Defense combat readiness, etc.
