Application

Jumpers are mainly used for the connection between the optical fiber distribution frame or optical fiber information socket and the switch, the connection between the switch and the switch, the connection between the switch and the desktop computer, and the connection between the optical fiber information socket and the desktop computer which are used for management, equipment room and work area subsystems.

Pigtails are mainly used in fiber optic communication systems, fiber access networks, fiber data transmission, fiber CATV, local area networks (LAN), test equipment, fiber sensors, serial servers, FTTH/FTTX, telecommunication networks and pre-terminated installations.

Precautions

The transceiver wavelengths of the optical modules connected by the jumper must be the same. Generally, short-wave optical modules are matched with multi-mode jumpers, and long-wave optical modules are matched with single-mode jumpers to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.

The jumper should reduce the winding as much as possible during the wiring process, so as to reduce the attenuation of the optical signal during the transmission process.

The connector of the jumper should be kept clean. After use, the connector should be sealed with a protective cover to prevent oil and dust from entering. If it is stained, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean it.

The pigtail is relatively slender, the cross section of the pigtail is at an angle of 8 degrees, and it is not resistant to high temperature. It will be damaged if it exceeds 100°C, so avoid using it in high temperature environments.

Optical fiber connector is an important part of optical fiber communication. In terms of data transmission, the quality of the ferrule, the production technology and method all determine the stability of data transmission
