Armored patch cords, also known as steel armored jumper, is a special type of patch cords that is covered with a protective spiral stainless steel material “armor” sleeve around the optical fiber. Armored jumper is a new type of patch cords, which can be used in computer rooms and various harsh environments.
Compared with ordinary patch cords, armored patch cords are protected by stainless steel hoses, which have higher compression and tensile performance. Ordinary jumper optical cables are mainly composed of tightly-packed optical fibers, aramid yarns and outer sheaths, while armored optical cables add a layer of stainless steel armor between the tightly packed optical fibers and aramid yarns. Without affecting the optical performance of the optical fiber itself, the ability of the optical fiber to resist lateral pressure is greatly improved, and damage caused by mechanical force can be prevented. Anti-impact, but also anti-rat bite.
Ordinary patch cords are prone to wear and tear after using for a long time, which affects the transmission quality. The reuse rate of armored patch cords is much higher than that of ordinary patch cords, up to about 75% (this data depends on the complexity of the specific wiring), and most of the ordinary ones cannot be recycled, and the recycling rate is less than 20%. High durability and repeatability can reduce wiring costs and reduce waste of resources.
When an patch cords is made into a branch, because the jumper is often pulled during use, the separated optical cable is easily torn off and has poor tensile strength. Armored patch cords can still be made into branch patch cords of various specifications, and the optical cable at the branch is still protected by a stainless steel sleeve, and the small branch is also an armored optical cable, which greatly increases the tensile performance.
Armored patch cords have important applications in telecom fiber long-distance lines and primary and secondary trunk lines. They are complex environments such as building wiring, optical connection of key equipment room equipment, field operations, sensor detection, fiber to the home, fiber to the desktop, etc. The preferred product for optical transmission used under conditions.
