The reference material of fiber patch cable

LC connectors are use to attach fiber optic cable to SFPs and patch panels ,an LC LC Fiber Patch Cord has this connectors on each end,It could be used to connect two routers together,to connect a router a 1 Gbit or 2Gbit Fiber Channel devices or switch,la patch panel,or to many Gigabit Ethernet devices.These cables can be purchased in either MMF or SMF versions.

LC connectors are used to attach fiber optic cable to GBICs and patch panels.A SC-LC cable has this connector on one end and a SC connector on the other end.It could be used to connect a router to an older Fiber Channel node or switch,to a patch panel,or to many Gigabit node or switch,to a patch panel,or to many Gigabit Ethernet devices,Some 2Gbit FC devices use GBICs and therefore SC connectors as well,and the router would require this cable to connect to them.These cables can be purchased in either MMF or SMF versions.

The reference material of fiber patch cable

Multi-Mode fiber is utilized to short distances.It is less expensive than SMF,and is the most common cable type for use inside a data center or campus,These cables use a larger diameter fiber core on the inside of the cladding,Most often these cables are used with SWL GBICs and SFPs.be sure to check that the transceiver is designed to work with the cable diameter since there are two formats,brocade switches all work equally well with either format,so it should work as long as the transceiver is supported by brocade and matched to the cable.Usually, MMF cables are orange,but they can be ordered in non-standard colors so this is not a totally reliable way to distinguish them from SMF cables look for writing on the cable cladding as well.

LC-LC Single Mode Patch Cord can be used for short distances,but due to its greater cost it is almost exclusively used for much longer distance links in combination with LWL,ELWL or WDM solutions,Generally speaking,these solutions are designed for SMF cables,but it is appropriate to double-check since using SMF cables use a much smaller diameter fiber core inside the cladding:9/125 μm.They are usually colored yellow,but like MMF cables they can be ordered in other colors.'

The router itself may be considered IP/Ethernet network equipment when used for iSCSI or FCIP.Of data links,the router has sixteen SFP ports that support optical Gigabit Etheernet 1000baseSX connections These may be attached to a standard optical IP/Ethernet device such as a hub, switch,router, or host.

Different attachments require different cables. For example. LC-SC Patch Cord is needed and the other device uses GBICS instead of SFPs.In any case,it is necessary to ensure that media on both ends of the cable have the same wavelength, and that both are designed for the mode of the fiber optic cable connecting them.For management, the router has two RJ45 10/100 base T ports.These can be set up redundantly. They can connect to any standard 10/100 baseT Ethernet device. The most common connection is to a hub or switch.
