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 FTTH drop cable patch cord is the fiber optic patch cord with two termination connector (normally is SC/UPC or SC/APC simplex connector). Its cable use fiber optic FTTH drop cable.
✓
The SCAPC round FTTH drop cable patch cord come with SC/APC termination connector and round type FTTH drop cable. The cable diameter can be 3.5mm, 4.8mm, 5.0mm or can do as customer's request. Cable outer sheath can be PVC, LSZH or TPU, and normally do in black or grey color.
✓
The round FTTH drop cable 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.
