However, the newly introduced BiDi optical transceiver in recent years has only one port (both can receive and transmit optical signals), so a simplex fiber jumper is required. A fiber jumper consists of one or more optical fibers of a certain length and the optical connectors at both ends. These cables link the end devices to a network or join the network components in a fiber optic configuration. As an industry-standard interface specification, MPO defines the mechanical structure. See the illustration for optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing f rces.
