The most intuitive difference between fiber pigtails and fiber jumpers

The most intuitive difference between the two is that only one end of the pigtail has a connector, and both ends of the jumper have a connector.

Optical Fiber Jumper: also known as optical fiber connector, both ends have connectors. Similar to coaxial cable, but without mesh shielding, for jumper wiring from the device to the fiber optic wiring. Generally used for the connection of optical terminal machine and terminal box.

Several optical Fiber Jumpers commonly used in network engineering are:

1.FC optical fiber jumper: Tighten the jumper using a metal sleeve and tighten the jumper using a turnbuckle. Generally under ordinary circumstances. ODF is used on the side. (Distribution frame used most)

2.SC fiber jumper: The shell of the connector connecting to the GBIC optical module is rectangular and fastened with a pin. (Router switch most commonly used)

3.ST type optical fiber jumper: Usually used for optical fiber distribution frame, the shell is round, fastening method is turnbuckle. (For 10. Base-F In terms of connection, the connector is usually of type ST. Commonly used in optical fiber distribution frames

4.LC optical fiber jumper: The SFP modular connector uses a modular jack for easy operation (RJ) bolt mechanism. (Commonly used routers)

Fiber pigtail: also known as pig tail line, one end is a connector, the other end is the broken end of the fiber optic cable core. Mainly used to connect optical cables and optical transceivers (couplers, jumpers, etc.). Generally appearing in the optical fiber terminal box, it is connected with other optical fiber cores through welding, which can simplify the installation and maintenance of the cable system.

Type of an optical fiber pigtail

Pigtails are generally divided into single-mode pigtails and multi-mode pigtails. The single-mode pigtail wavelength is 1310nm and 1550nm, and the transmission distance is 10km and 40km, respectively. The 85000 has a length of 8500nm and a transmission distance of 500m for short-distance interconnection. Fast interconnection. (FS) Pigtails are made of precision ceramic inserts with strong compressive and tensile properties, which meet the requirements of Telcordia, EIA/TIA standards.
