When choosing a multimode fiber jumper cabling solution for a data center, whether it is a strategic choice or an economic choice, if you can choose a solution with a long service life, low construction cost, and low use cost, it will be ideal result.

Certain parameters, such as signal delay, fiber bandwidth, connector type, pattern noise, and connection performance, all play an important role in determining the maximum age of a fiber optic cable system; another can affect the physical layer optical fiber in a data center. An important parameter for product life is channel insertion loss.
The TIA-942 standard defines a channel as an end-to-end transmission path between two points where specific application equipment is installed. The overall performance of an optical network depends on whether the performance of the individual channels meets the bit error rate (BER) requirements specified by the transmission standard.
The maximum channel distance for multimode fiber is related to the bandwidth performance parameters and the allowed channel maximum insertion loss budget. For example, for a 300m 10GBase-SR link using 850nm OM3 fiber, the maximum allowable insertion loss is 2.6dB. Of this 2.6 dB budget, 1.1 dB is used for losses inherent in the fiber itself, while fiber connection and/or connector losses account for another 1.5 dB.
Data Center Multimode Fiber Patch Cords
Implementing a structured cabling system in a data center is important for improving the efficiency and life cycle of the infrastructure cabling facility. A structured cabling solution, as recommended by the TIA-942 standard, optimizes the flexibility of the cabling system to meet current and future network demands with its easy equipment move, add and change (MAC).
The main distribution area (MDA) of the data center includes the main cross-connect (MC), which is the central wiring area of the structured cabling system of the data center. Backbone cabling is a star network extending from the MC throughout the data center, especially to the horizontal distribution area (HDA). Likewise, horizontal cabling is installed in a star topology from horizontal cross-connects in the HDA to each equipment distribution area (EDA), or to the zone distribution area (ZDA) between the HDA and EDA.
A horizontal cross-connect is not required. For example, a data center using fiber optics might implement a centralized, rather than distributed, electronic data network. Centralized fiber optic cabling is one of the options for cross-connect in HAD to support some centralized electronic equipment. Centralized optical cabling provides connectivity from the EDA in the data center to the centralized cross-connect by means of stretched cables, connector connections, or pigtail splices in the HDA. When the horizontal cross-connect is not used, the cabling extends directly from the main cross-connect in the MDA to the ZDA or EDA.
