What is an optical patchcord ?

Optical Patchord so called fiber cable assembly is connector terminated both ends and ready for installation. Plank offer full-range of optic fiber Patchcords at FC, SC, ST* - PC, UPC or APC connectivity. All our patch products come with Low insertion loss, Low return loss, Environmentally stable and reliable, precise dimension and wide selection of ferrules.

Plank Patchcord is the best choice for CATV, Telecom Server, Subscriber Loop, Fiber-to-the-home, and Local Area Network (LAN) applications.

There is another type of fiber cable assembly called Pigtail, it¡¦s a short optical fiber permanently attached to a source, detector, or other fiber optic device at one end and an optical connector at the other. Pigtail is specially for optical device connectivity.
