KOCENT OPTEC
1 / 4
The fiber-optic patch cord is a fiber-optic cable capped at either end with connectors that allow it to be rapidly and conveniently connected to CATV, an optical switch or other telecommunication equipment. Its thick layer of protection is used to connect the optical transmitter, receiver, and the terminal box.
The fiber optic patch cord is constructed from a core with a high refractive index, surrounded by a coating with a low refractive index, that is strengthened by aramid yarns and surrounded by a protective jacket. Transparency of the core permits transmission of optic signals with little loss over great distances. The coating's low refractive index reflects light back into the core, minimizing signal loss. The protective aramid yarns and outer jacket minimizes physical damage to the core and coating.
The optical fiber patch cords are used in outdoor or indoor for connection to CATV, FTTH, FTTA, Fiber optic telecommunication networks, PON & GPON networks and fiber optic testing.

A fiber-optic patch cord is a fiber-optic cable capped at either end with connectors that allow it to be rapidly and conveniently connected to CATV, an optical switch, or other telecommunication equipment. It features a thick protective layer and is used to connect the optical transmitter, receiver, and terminal box.
It is constructed from a high refractive index core surrounded by a low refractive index coating. It is further strengthened by aramid yarns and encased in a protective outer jacket to minimize physical damage.
They are used both indoors and outdoors for connections in CATV, FTTH, FTTA, fiber optic telecommunication networks, PON & GPON networks, and fiber optic testing environments.
According to the technical specifications, the fiber optic patch cords can operate reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
Single Mode (SM) fibers feature a diameter of 9/125 um. Multimode (MM) fibers are available in diameters of 62.5/125 um (OM1) and 50/125 um (OM2/OM3/OM4/OM5).
They feature low insertion loss, high return loss, low environmental sensitivity, ease of installation and use, high reliability, and a cost-effective design.
