How to patch the optical module
To connect an optical cable to an SFP module, use the appropriate patch cord (e., LC-LC, SC-LC, etc. The patch cord must match the fibre type – single-mode or multi-mode. It directly impacts the stability, performance, and ease of future maintenance of the network link. We once encountered a customer who had purchased the correct optical modules but used the wrong patch cords — mixing. Step1 : Identify the optical cabinet and network operating center, and find the fiber optic splitter. After purchasing these modules, how should customers select MPO patch cords and MPO adapters for network deployment? In practical applications, how do we manage.
