E fa'aoga uaea fa'apipi'i e fai ai uaea fa'apipi'i mai mea faigaluega i so'otaga fa'apipi'i fibre optic. O loʻo i ai se faʻamalama puipui mafiafia, lea e masani ona faʻaogaina mo le fesoʻotaʻiga i le va o le transceiver opitika ma le pusa faʻamau. Fa'aoso alava mata (lea e ta'ua o feso'ota'iga alava mata) e fa'asino i fa'amau fa'apipi'i fa'apipi'i i pito uma e lua o le uaea mata'ina e iloa ai le feso'ota'iga malosi o le ala va'aia; o polo i le tasi pito e ta'ua o i'u pua'a. Fiber patch cord (Optical Fiber Patch Cord/Cable) e tutusa ma uaea coaxial, ae leai se talipupuni mata. I le totonugalemu o loʻo i ai le autu tioata lea e fealuaʻi ai le malamalama. I se alava multimode, o le lautele o le totonugalemu e 50 μm i le 65 μm, lea e tusa ma le mafiafia o se lauulu tagata.

O loʻo faʻauluina fiber optic e masani ona vaevaeina i ni vaega se lua:

E mafai ona vaevaeina jumpers fibre Optical i masani masani fa'avae fa'a-silikoni alava mata tasi-mode ma multi-mode jumpers e tusa ai ma ala o faasalalauga eseese, ma isi alava oso oso mai opitika e pei o le palasitika e pei o le ala felauaiga; e tusa ai ma le fausaga o le connector, e mafai ona vaevaeina i: FC Jumper, SC jumper, ST jumper, LC jumper, MTRJ jumper, MPO jumper, MU jumper, SMA jumper, FDDI jumper, E2000 jumper, DIN4 jumper, D4 jumper, ma isi fomu. E mafai foʻi ona vaevaeina le tele o faʻaulu alava masani i FC-FC, FC-SC, FC-LC, FC-ST, SC-SC, SC-ST, ma isi.
