FIBER OPTIC PIGTAILS AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CABLE
Fiber Optic Pigtails: one end is a good connector, one end of the Fiber Optic Pigtails (like a jumper cut one); the role of welding, cable laying, one end needs to be connected to the fiber connector, Fiber Optic Pigtails so the end of the cable and pigtail No one end of the head to dissolve, Fiber Optic Pigtails so that the cable will have a connector, can be connected with the device.
Jumping fiber: both ends are connected to the connector, like two pigtails connected together, the role is directly connected to the device port. Fiber Optic Pigtails: made of glass, used to transmit optical signals, divided into multi-mode, single-mode (now also has a plastic fiber but not common).
Fiber optic cable: fiber, fiber sheath, tensile layer, the outermost skin composition, Fiber Optic Pigtails cable is part of the cable is a set of the overall structure. Fiber optic jumpers are available at both ends. Fiber Optic Pigtails jumpers are single-mode fiber jumpers and multimode fiber jumpers. Single-mode fiber jumper is used to indicate yellow, long transmission distance, multi-mode fiber jumper used to indicate orange, transmission distance is shorter. In addition, the fiber jumper is divided into FC fiber jumpers, SC fiber jumpers, ST fiber jumpers, PC fiber jumpers, APC fiber jumpers, LC fiber jumpers, D4 fiber jumpers Line, DIN fiber jumpers, MU fiber jumpers, Fiber Optic Pigtails jumpers and so on. Fiber Optic Pigtailsjumper length of the general specifications are 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m and so on. Pigtail is also called pig tail line, only one end of the adapter, and the other end is a fiber optic cable core of the broken, after welding and other fiber optic cable core connected, often now fiber optic terminal box, for connecting fiber optic cable and fiber Transceiver (also used between couplers, jumpers, etc.). The tail fiber is divided into multi-mode pigtail and single-mode pigtail. Multi-mode pigtail is orange, the wavelength is 850nm, the transmission distance is 500m, for short distance interconnection. Single-mode pigtail is yellow, there are two wavelengths, 1310nm and 1550nm, transmission distance of 10km and 40km respectively. The ends of the pigtail are used to connect the ends of the fiber, and the ends of the pigtail are welded together with the fiber optic connectors. The other ends are connected to the fiber optic transceivers or fiber modules via special joints (ST, SC, LC, MTRJ) to form optical data transmission path. ST connector which is usually connected with a coupler, and then connected to the fiber optic transceivers or fiber optic modules.
