Network Cable

Patch Cord：A short length of cable with connectors on both ends, used to connect equipment in a telecommunications or data network. It is typically used to connect devices such as computers, printers, routers, and switches to a network.
The main functions of network jumpers are reflected in the following aspects:

Connecting network devices: A network jumper is a cable used to connect two devices in a computer network, typically used to connect lines between devices such as computers, routers, switches, servers, etc. This enables the establishment of communication and data transmission channels between different devices.

Transmission of network signals and data: The main function of network jumpers is to transmit network signals and data, ensuring that devices can communicate and exchange information with each other. Whether through twisted pair, fiber optic, or wireless technology, network jumpers can provide stable and high-speed data transmission services.

Adjusting the working status of the device: In some cases, network jumpers can also be used to adjust the on/off relationship of different electrical signals on the device, thereby adjusting the working status of the device. For example, it can determine the motherboard voltage, the master-slave relationship of the driver, and so on.

Application flexibility: Network jumpers are typically manufactured using flexible wires, such as stranded wires, making them easy to bend and layout. Meanwhile, the length of network jumpers is usually short, ranging from 1 to 10 feet, which makes them very suitable for scenarios such as computer room cabling, router connections, and network equipment testing.

Classification and performance:

Twisted pair jumper: One of the most common types of network jumper, connected using RJ45 interface, with copper cable twisted pair as the transmission medium, and a transmission rate generally of 10/100/1000Mbps, etc.

Fiber optic jumper: A network jumper that uses fiber optic as the transmission medium and has a very fast transmission speed, generally reaching high speeds such as 10Gbps, 40Gbps, 100Gbps, etc.

Wireless jumper: Connected through wireless technologies such as Wi Fi, suitable for scenarios such as wireless local area networks.

When selecting and using network jumpers, it is necessary to choose according to actual needs and application scenarios to ensure that the quality and performance of network jumpers can meet the requirements of network construction and maintenance. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the quality and brand of the jumper to ensure its performance and stability.
