Fiber optic patch cables, also known as fiber optic cable jumpers or fiber patch cords, are transmission media usually made of glass used to transmit data via light. In recent years, it has become apparent that fiber optic patch cables are steadily replacing copper wire as an appropriate means of communication signal transmission. There are two main types of fiber optic patch cables: single-mode and multimode fiber patch cable. This post will make a comparison between single-mode and multimode fiber patch cable from four aspects: core size, transmission speed and distance, color code, and application.
