3m multi-mode fiber optic patch cord

Description

The 3m Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord is a professional-grade networking cable designed to provide reliable, high-speed, and low-loss data transmission across short distances. With its 3-meter length, this patch cord is ideal for connecting devices within data centers, telecom infrastructures, enterprise LAN environments, and even advanced home networking setups. Unlike traditional copper cables, fiber optic patch cords use light signals to transmit data, ensuring faster speeds, higher bandwidth, and reduced interference.

What is a Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord?

A fiber optic patch cord (also known as a fiber patch cable or jumper) is a length of optical fiber terminated with connectors on both ends. A multi-mode patch cord is specifically designed to carry multiple light modes simultaneously, making it well-suited for short to medium-distance transmissions such as inside data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks. Compared to single-mode fibers, multi-mode patch cords are more cost-effective and are widely used in environments where high-speed connections are required but the distance does not exceed a few hundred meters.
