  1. 5 Essential Tips to Choose the Right Fiber Patch Cable The fiber patch cable is widely used for connecting the telecommunication equipment. It is capped with connectors on each end which allows it to connect rapidly to an optical switch or other telecommunication devices. The choice of fiber patch cables is quite important for the performance of the network. The fiber optic patch cable should be durable and of excellent quality to optimum performance. The Chinese suppliers offer some of the best fiber optic patch cables. The fiber optic patch cable suppliers in China offer a variety of cable and connector types which makes it a difficult task to choose the right one. One needs to take into consideration certain parameters such as fiber type, connector type, jacket type, length, and the likes for choosing the right kind of patch cable. Here’s a look at some essential tips to find the proper patch cable for your application: 1. The right fiber type The fiber patch cable should use the same fiber type which is used on the fiber optic cabling it is connected to. The fiber optic cable usually comes in two general types namely single-mode and multi- mode finer. 2. The correct connector type The connectors on both the ends of the patch cable are used for connecting the patch panels and the equipment. The connector types should match with the patch panels and equipment. 3. Simplex v/s duplex Unlike the copper patch cables that send information in both the directions, the fiber patch cables just have single strand of fiber that allows signal in only one direction. While the simplex cable is a single- fiber cable with simplex connection terminations, the duplex cord is a two-fiber cable with duplex connectors. Two strands of fiber are required for connecting the equipment so that it can send and receive the information. It can be achieved either by using two simplex cables or a duplex cable from the fiber optic patch cable suppliers in China. 4. Jacket of fiber patch cable The flammability of the jacket material can be a matter of concern if the area they are installed in has any special requirement for flame spread or combustible products in case of a fire. One can go for the LSZH- low smoke zero halogen fiber patch cable whose jacket is made of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. 5. Length

  2. The length of the fiber optic cable can be chosen based on the preference and requirement either in meters or feet. The fiber optic distribution box manufacturer in China has gained immense popularity owing to its wide application.
