What is fiber optic? Optical fiber is a kind of fiber made of glass or plastic, mainly used for signal transmission, with the advantages of low loss, wide band, light weight, etc.. Optical fiber plus the interface becomes a fiber optic patch cord. So what are the types of fiber optic patch cords, and what is the classification method? Next to give you the main introduction to the classification of fiber optic patch cord according to the mode of transmission.

According to the mode of transmission can be divided into single-mode fiber optic patch cord, multimode fiber optic patch cord.
