Norden Fibre Patch Cord

High-performance connectivity solutions.

Product Overview

Norden Fibre Patch Cords are designed with two tight buffer fibers housed within an individual outer jacket. They are available in OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OS1, and OS2 multi-mode and single-mode variants. Each cord is terminated with a high-performance hybrid or single type connector, including SC, ST, FC, LC, MTRJ, and E2000 connectors in simplex and duplex configurations. These cords are suitable for internal use and may feature a spring-loaded electrical contact within a LSHF plastic shell.
