    by:
    CABLE PREP: Tips Tips
    Published: May 21, 2019

    The majority of our customers manufacture fiber optic cable assemblies, which are widely known as patch cords.

    Patch cords can be simplex or duplex.

    • A simplex cable consists of a single strand of optic fiber.
    • A duplex cable is composed of two insulated single-conductor optic fibers.

    (We encourage you to review the Fiber Optic CenterGlossaryto familiarize yourself with the wide range of industry terminology.)
