Physical characteristics
Similarities:
- Durable and rugged
- Highly reusable
- Withstands high tensile and compressive forces during installation and removal
Differences
- Bus-and-tag cable is about 75 times heavier and about five times the diameter of a jumper cable.
- Bus-and-tag cable has inherent radius control due to its stiffness,
while jumper cable can be easily bent and requires radius control.
Note: Minimum bend radius specifications also apply when handling fiber cable. If not handled properly, small fractures of the glass medium can result in high attenuation losses.
