Singlemode fiber optic patch cables come with a 9 micron diameter glass core. With the cladding layer, they are 125 micron, and with the buffer layer they are 250 micron. To prevent excessive loss (attenuation), you should ensure that you only connect singlemode cables to other singlemode fibers already in your system.

Multimode fiber optic patch cables come in 62.5 micron and 50 micron diameters for the actual glass core. With the cladding layer, they are both 125 micron, and with the buffer layer they are 250 micron. To prevent excessive loss (attenuation), you should ensure that you purchase patch cables that match the core of any other fibers to which you are connecting.

Generally speaking,as SC LC FC ST fiber patch cords are widely used in the fiber optic networks. so SC LC FC ST also becomes more and more popular in the fiber connectivity.Sometimes, When two fiber ends are different, You need a hybrid fiber optic patch cables,such as SC to LC, SC-FC, SC to ST, FC-LC etc.

Usually fiber patch cables are customized as per customers requirements, Here in Teleweaver, We offer free sample for customized fiber patch cables to you when you need them for testing purpose.
