Is the patch cord made of fiber optic cable or optical fiber cable

A fiber optic patch cable (also called a fiber jumper or fiber patch cord) is a section of optical fiber cable with connector terminations on both ends, designed for flexible, short-distance interconnections within an optical network. This is known as interconnect-style cabling. They are generally sold in large quantities, rather than custom -made, although quite special models are also. The fiber optic patch cable must, therefore, be carefully considered. Behind its slender appearance lies the fusion of core types, connector types, and polish levels, each chosen for a specific application. It is mainly used in applications such as optical fiber communication systems, optical fiber access networks, optical fiber data transmission networks, and local area networks.
