MPO light module jumper

Updated on Mon Aug 18 2025

MPO optical module fiber jumper is a commonly used product in optical fiber communication. According to the performance and maintenance of fiber jumpers, we can draw the following methods to improve the flexibility and reliability of fiber jumper management.

Fiber jumper management method

1. Pay attention to the bending radius of the fiber jumper. Generally speaking, 1.6mm and 3.0mm diameter fiber optic jumpers can withstand a bending radius not less than 87.5px, while MPO fiber optic jumpers can withstand a bending radius not less than 10 times its diameter.


2. Do not pull or squeeze the fiber optic jumper. When installing an optical fiber jumper, excessive force may cause pressure on the optical fiber jumper and the connectors at both ends, affecting its performance. It is worth noting that if you need to use a lot of force to pull a fiber patch cable, there may be some problems in the middle.


3. Run the jumper according to the fiber jumper path of the MPO optical module. If the existing jumper length is suitable for the current application, the jumper can be reused, but it is still necessary to remove the jumper from the fiber distribution frame and reinstall the jumper according to the new path. This is the only way to ensure that the jumper wires don't get kinked, bent or stretched. To route jumpers efficiently, you should find a suitable path for the jumpers between the two ports while avoiding crowding and tangles in the jumpers.

4. Bundle or tie the jumpers to keep the panel looking tidy, however, bundling or tying the jumpers too tightly increases the risk of over-squeezing. In order to avoid this problem, you can properly "untie" the jumper to make the jumper move freely.


5. Labeling is an essential job for network system administrators, and it is also one of the most important jobs. At any point of management of the network cabling infrastructure, including patch panels, proper labeling is essential so network technicians can pinpoint the source and destination of fiber optic cables.


6.Check the fiber optic jumper for physical damage, including indentation and connector damage caused by sudden bending of the sheath.
