This content is not much for experienced friends, but it can be very useful for newcomers to the industry.
Optical fibers are mainly divided into two categories:
Single-mode fiber (Single-mode Fiber): Generally, the fiber jumper is shown in yellow, and the connector and protective sleeve are in blue; the transmission distance is longer.
Multi-mode fiber (Multi-mode Fiber): Generally, the fiber jumper is indicated in orange, and some are indicated in gray, and the connector and protective sleeve are in beige or black; the transmission distance is short.

Note on the use of optical fibers
The transceiver wavelengths of the optical modules at both ends of the fiber jumper must be the same, that is to say, the two ends of the optical fiber must be optical modules with the same wavelength.
In general, short-wave optical modules use multimode fibers (orange fibers), and long-wave optical modules use single-mode fibers (yellow fibers) to ensure the accuracy of data transmission.
Do not bend and loop the optical fiber excessively during use, which will increase the attenuation of light during transmission.
After using the optical fiber jumper, it is necessary to protect the optical fiber connector with a protective sleeve. Dust and oil will damage the coupling of the optical fiber.
