What is a carrier-grade fiber jumper?
Carrier-grade optical fiber jumper is one of the jumpers, usually has a thick protective layer, generally used in the optical terminal and terminal box inspection connection. In the multimode carrier-grade jumper, the diameter of the core is about the thickness of a human hair, 15 to 50µm, while the diameter of the single-mode carrier-grade fiber jumper is 8 to 10µm. The core is surrounded by a protective glass envelope with a lower refractive index than the core, and is surrounded by a thin plastic envelope.
What is a network-level jumper?
The attenuation of network level jumpers is larger than that of carrier-level jumpers, and its attenuation is generally greater than 0.2db, which may cause data packet loss in transmission.
What are the differences between carrier-grade jumpers and network-grade jumpers?
1. Degree of attenuation
Carrier-grade fiber jumpers have less decay than network grade fiber jumpers, and the transmission data is more stable and not easy to lose.
2, grinding times
The grinding process of the carrier-grade fiber jumper is generally 5 times, and the network grade fiber jumper is 4 times
Fast (FS)| The preferred data center & Cloud hardware solution
3. Price
The price of carrier-grade fiber jumper is higher than that of network-grade fiber jumper.
Therefore, the market demand for carrier-grade jumpers is greater than that for network-grade jumpers.
Carrier-grade fiber jumper has the characteristics of low plug loss, good repeatability, good interchangeability and good environmental adaptability, so it is widely used in important network environments, such as national defense combat readiness, data center room, fiber to the home, backbone local area network and so on.
