Fiber optic patch cables are defined components of an internationally standardized structured cabling system according to ISO/IEC 11801. Over time, various connectors have evolved in structured cabling, with the following still being relevant: LC, SC, E2000, MPO/MTP. A fiber optic patch cable represents the shortest connection between a passive cabling port and an active network port, or a point-to-point connection between two active network ports. Quality classes allow for a qualitative distinction of fiber optic patch cables depending on the network service. Equivalent terms for patch cables include patch cords, adapter cables, connection cables, hybrid cables, jumpers, and connection cords.

Features of EFB fiber optic patch cables:
