Product Overview
Fiber optic patch cable, also known as a fiber optic jumper or patch cord, is a vital component in modern fiber optic networks. These cables are primarily categorized into single-mode (9/125 fiber glass, yellow jacket) and multimode (50/125 or 62.5/125 glass). For 10Gig applications, multimode OM3/OM4 fibers typically feature an aqua or magenta jacket.
Our fiber patch cables support various connector types and are designed for linking high-speed equipment in network infrastructures. Each connector undergoes 400x microscope visual inspection and rigorous insertion loss and reflection testing. When specified, geometric inspection via DORC interferometers ensures peak performance. Each cable is serialized for traceability and individually packaged.

Quality Testing Program
IL and RL Testing
We conduct exhaustive testing on insertion loss and return loss to verify signal reach and ensure long-term transmission stability across the network.
3D Interferometer Testing
Connectors are evaluated for apex offset, radius of curvature, and fiber height, ensuring mechanical parameters meet strict industry standards for perfect physical contact.
End-Face Inspection
Each connector tip is checked for scratches, defects, or contamination. Maintaining clean end-faces is critical for maximizing network uptime and reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty for your fiber patch cords?
All supplied fiber patch cords are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for five (5) years from the date of supply. Bulk cables are UL-profiled and 100% tested.
Is branding customization available for the cables?
Yes, we can print specific brand names onto the cable jacket. This service typically requires a minimum total cable length of 1KM.
Can you provide 3D interferometer test reports?
Yes, we perform 3D tests upon request. We maintain a pass rate of over 90%, and can achieve up to 100% pass rates for specific project requirements.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
We generally only have MOQs for special customized cable orders (1km bulk cable length). Standard items often have flexible ordering terms.
Are samples provided for testing?
Free samples are available for qualified customer projects, provided the total sample cost is under 50 US dollars.
What jacket materials are available?
We offer PVC (Riser), OFNR, OFNP (Plenum), and LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jackets to meet different safety and fire rating requirements.
