Repeat the above steps with the other end of the cable. Use a cable tester to verify the connectivity of the cable. Optical fiber CAUTION: Use the same types of transceiver modules, pigtail cords, patch cords, and fiber cables. If you use single-mode optical fibers, the transceiver modules, pigtail cords, patch cords, and fiber cables must be single-mode.
Page 55
Pigtail cords fall into single-mode (yellow) and multimode (orange), and can also be classified into SC, LC, FC, and so on based on interface type. Fiber connector Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system. They allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging and maintenance more convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more flexible.
