Crane Fiber Optic Patch Cord Jumper
This is a JINSHANG TECH fiber-optic patch cord (jumper), factory-terminated on both ends to connect optical ports, transceivers and panels.
Because the optical path is non-conductive, the unit provides electrical isolation between connected equipment and can be routed past motors, drives and power wiring without picking up noise.
Key Characteristics
- Housing/jacket color: Red
- Core/fiber material: 1.0mm
- Attenuation rated at less than 180dB / km over the operating wavelength
- Operating temperature range: -55~+85C
- Standard length: 32m, Accept customization
- Flexible, durable jacket in standard and custom lengths
- Factory-terminated both ends for controlled insertion loss
Typical Applications
The unit is commonly used for device-to-panel and device-to-device optical connections, transceiver and instrument patching in data/control systems, and replacement jumpers for existing optical networks. The result is a reliable, repeatable build that tolerates the routing, vibration and repeated handling typical of production installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a patch cord? A: A patch cord is a factory-terminated optical cable with connectors on both ends, used to link transceivers, panels or devices without field termination.
Q: Which connectors should each end have? A: Match the connectors to the two ports being joined; confirm the fiber type (POF/HCS/glass) and the connector standard (ST/SC/LC/SMA/HFBR/F07).
Q: Can I order a specific length? A: Standard lengths are available and custom lengths can be supplied by specifying the routing distance.
Q: Is it shielded against noise? A: An optical patch cord carries no electrical signal, so it is inherently immune to EMI and provides ground isolation.
