Single-Mode Fiber Optic Jumpers

Singlemode is an optical fiber, with a small core (2-9 microns that supports one mode). The mode size (standard ie 8.3/125) is stamped on the yellow cable jacket. Singlemode is most commonly used for high speed, long distance applications.

Simplex cable has a single fiber

Duplex has two fibers usually side by side in style.

Most Commonly used Connectors are LC,SC, ST, MTRJ and MPO/MTJ

Global Access stocks fiber optic patchcord and pigtails in many lengths, colors and connector types. Including but not limited to PVC, Plenum, Aqua, Bend insensitive, ruggedized, Milspec, and custom. Our fiber optic patch cable jumpers and assemblies are manufactured in an ISO 9001-2000 certified factories using only the highest quality components. As a tier one Draka distributor we utilize Draka fiber. Each fiber optic patch cable jumper is fully tested, to Telceordia standards, for insertion loss and back reflection prior to shipment. Singlemode fiber optic cables are also tested for APEX, radius and undercut. Corning Fiber Cable Assemblies are also available. GAU has RUS compliant Buy American Act product ready to ship. When your bid demands low pricing we have offshore product with short lead times, call for a fast a free quote today. We can ship most fiber optic jumpers and custom made, even highly complex FIBER OPTIC JUMPERS the same day.

Fiber Optic cabling is made with glass fibers. There is very little variation in the signal that they carry over long distances. The full potential speed fiber optic cabling can carry has never been reached even with Gigabit technology. These cables have greater bandwidth than electrical transmission through wires.

In recent years it has become apparent that fiber-optics are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. They span the long distances between local phone systems as well as providing the backbone for many network systems. Other system users include cable television services, university campuses, office buildings, industrial plants, and electric utility companies. A fiber-optic system is similar to the copper wire system that fiber-optics is replacing. The difference is that fiber-optics use light pulses to transmit information down fiber lines instead of using electronic pulses to transmit information down copper lines. Looking at the components in a fiber-optic chain will give a better understanding of how the system works in conjunction with wire based systems.
