There are several types of fiber patch cords, including:
1.Single mode fiber patch cords: These are used for long-distance, high-speed data transmission and have a narrow core diameter of around 8-10 microns.
2.Multimode fiber patch cords: These are used for short-distance data transmission and have a larger core diameter of 50 or 62.5 microns.
3.Simplex fiber patch cords: These have one fiber and are typically used for applications that require only one-way data transmission.
4.Duplex fiber patch cords: These have two fibers and are used for bi-directional data transmission.
5.Armored fiber patch cords: These have a protective metal sleeve around the cable jacket to provide extra protection against damage.
6.Bend-insensitive fiber patch cords: These are designed to minimize signal loss when the cable is bent or twisted.
7.Mode conditioning fiber patch cords: These are used to convert multimode signals to single mode signals to minimize signal distortion in long-range data transmission.
8.Polarization maintaining fiber patch cords: These maintain the polarization of light as it travels through the fiber, which is important in certain applications such as fiber optic sensing and interferometry.
The specific type of fiber patch cord you choose will depend on your application requirements, such as data transmission distance, speed, and signal quality.
