Common Types Of Patch Cables

Common types of patch cables are computer patch cables, fiber optic patch cables, network patch cables, etc.

The "patch cable" of the computer's internal board is a small metal rod (patch cable post) embedded on the motherboard, sound card, hard disk and other equipment, and a small clip (patch cable clip) set on these metal rods. The function of the patch cable is to adjust the on-off relationship of different electrical signals on the device, and to adjust the working state of the device, such as determining the motherboard voltage, the master-slave relationship of the driver, and so on.

The patch cables on the motherboard generally include CPU setting patch cables, CMOS clear patch cables, BIOS write prohibit patch cables, etc. Among them, the CPU setting jumper is the most complicated. If the motherboard is relatively old, the core voltage, FSB, and frequency multiplier patch cables must be set on the motherboard. Set the above corresponding jumpers according to the motherboard manual and CPU frequency.

The patch cable here refers to the copper connecting wire, which is made of standard jumper cable and connecting hardware. The patch cable has copper cores ranging from two to eight cores, and the connecting hardware is two 6-bit or 8-bit modular plugs. , or they have one or more bare wire ends. Some patch cables have a modular plug on one end and an 8-position modular slot on the other, or are fitted with 100P wiring plugs, MICs, or modular slots. Jumpers are used to connect various links on the patch panel, and can be used as patch panels or equipment connection cables. Both ends of the modular jumper are RJ45 connectors, adopt TIA/EIA-568A pin structure, and have a flexible plug-in design to prevent loosening and jamming.
