Multi-mode patch cables have a wider core, making them well-suited for shorter distances, such as those found in server rooms or office setups. The difference lies in how the light travels through both types of cables, with no distortion up to a distant point. In a modern data center, every high-speed optical link depends on the right fiber patch cable. These short fiber optic cords connect transceivers, switches, patch panels, and servers. At ZION Communication, we design and manufacture a full range of fiber patch cords for: This guide will help you quickly understand the main types of. A fiber optic patch cable (also called a fiber jumper or fiber patch cord) is a section of optical fiber cable with connector terminations on both ends, designed for flexible, short-distance interconnections within an optical network.
