June 20, 2013 – TE Connectivity (TE) has announced its new 1.2mm fiber patch cords. The patch cords require just one-third the space of popular 2.0mm patch cords and one-half the space of 1.6mm patch cords, extending the life of existing fiber management systems, boasts TE. The new 1.2mm fiber patch cords from TE help operators conserve space in fiber management systems and delay investment in new fiber management systems, says the company.
