Optical fiber jumpers are the most commonly used cables in integrated wiring, but jumpers are also divided into various types. We need to choose according to specific needs. How many dimensions can optical fiber jumpers be classified from?

optical fiber jumper

From which dimensions can optical fiber jumpers be classified?

1. Classification by fiber type

1. Single-mode optical fiber jumper: generally yellow, the connector and protective sleeve are blue, and the transmission distance is long.

2. Multimode optical fiber jumper: generally orange or aqua blue, the connector and protective cover are beige or black, and the transmission distance is short.

2. Classification by connector type

Optical fiber jumpers can be divided into FC, ST, SC, LC, MU, E2000, MTRJ, SMA, etc. according to the connector classification. The following is a detailed description of the commonly used optical fiber jumpers:

1. FC fiber jumper: FC (Ferrule Connector) fiber jumper is one of the most common connection devices in single-mode networks. Its external strengthening method is a metal sleeve, and its fastening method is a turnbuckle. Commonly found on the ODF side (most common on distribution frames). FC connectors are commonly used in telecommunication networks. Its advantages are reliability and dust resistance, and its disadvantage is that it takes a long time to install.

2. ST fiber optic jumper: ST (Stab & Twist) fiber optic jumper is the most common connection device in multimode networks, and it is also a relatively common connector type in Base10 fiber optic connections. Commonly used on optical fiber distribution frames. Its outer shell is round, and the fastening method is a turnbuckle. The core is exposed, so it needs to be inserted first, and then rotated half a circle to fix the bayonet.

3. SC fiber optic jumper: SC (Square Connector) fiber optic jumper is a TIA-568-A standardized connector. It was not widely used in the early stage due to its high price, and it was gradually used in conjunction with GBIC optical modules due to its excellent performance in the later stage. connect. Commonly found on routers and switches, the outer shell is rectangular, and the fastening method is a plug-in latch type. Unlike ST/FC, it does not need to be rotated.

4. LC fiber jumper: LC (Lucent connector) fiber jumper is usually connected to the SFP optical module. The connector is similar to the SC connector, but smaller than the SC connector. The size of the pin and sleeve is 1.25mm, which is half of the ordinary SC and FC. The fastening method is socket latch. It has good performance and can increase the density of optical fiber connectors in the optical fiber distribution frame to a certain extent. It is a very good single-mode optical fiber jumper.

3. According to the application classification of jumpers

Optical fiber jumpers are generally divided into MTP/MPO optical fiber jumpers, conventional optical fiber jumpers, armored optical fiber jumpers, etc. according to the application of the jumper.

1. MTP/MPO fiber optic jumper: It is commonly used in the fiber optic line environment that requires high-density integration during the wiring process. Its advantage is that it uses a simple push-pull locking structure, which is easy to install and remove, saves time and cost, and can maximize the service life. .

2. Armored optical fiber jumper: common in computer rooms, suitable for harsh environments. Its advantages are that there is no need to use a protective sleeve, it can prevent moisture and fire, it has antistatic properties and acid and alkali resistance, it can save space and reduce construction costs.

3. Conventional fiber optic jumpers: Conventional fiber optic jumpers include OS2 9/125 single-mode simplex, OM4 40/100Gb 50/125 multimode, OM3 10Gb 50/125 multimode, OM2 50/125 multimode, OM1 62.5/125 Multi-mode, OS2 9/125 single-mode simplex, OM5 50/125 multi-mode. Among them, OM5 fiber optic jumper is a relatively popular product at present. It is often used in the application of higher broadband. The outer sheath is water green. It has strong scalability, compatibility and interoperability, and can effectively reduce costs.
