A plastic fiber optic tracking patch cord is a type of plastic fiber optic cable with connectors at both ends. Its most distinctive feature is a visible tracking light source (usually red). This feature allows for the quick and accurate identification and location of specific fiber optic links in dense fiber optic patch panels or equipment panels.
Simply put, it's like a "glowing network cable," allowing you to easily find the one you need among thousands of cables.
What is a Plastic Fiber Optic Tracking Patch Cord?
A plastic fiber optic tracking patch cord is a patch cord made of polymer plastic fiber (POF) that incorporates tracking and management functions. Compared to traditional glass fiber, POF is lighter, more flexible, and less expensive. The "tracking" function uses color coding, labels, or electronic tags to make the patch cord's connection status and path immediately clear, greatly simplifying network maintenance.
