Optical fibre patch cables contain one or more strands of optical fibre which are normally individually coated in a protective plastic jacket, inside a protective sheath or tube. The makeup and strength of the tube will be determined by the environment in which the cable was designed for use.

The outer coating or jacket of the fibre patch cable is often colour coded to indicate the type of fibre in use ie. multimode  or single mode fibre. The strain relief boot is also sometimes colour coded to indicate the type of connector ie, SC connector or ST connector.

ipexpress.co.uk  have a selection of fibre patch cables or patch cords for sale and intend to expand this range in the near future. All cables are normally available for 2-4 day delivery to the customer.
