Wide Selection of Fiber Optic Patch Cords
Fiber optic patch cords are one of most commonly used components in fiber optic network telecommunication. They are characterized by: low insertion loss, high return loss, good repeatability, good interchange and excellent environmental adaptability.
Fiber optic patch cords are widely used in FTTH application, Premise installations, Data processing networks, Wide Area Networks (WANs), Telecommunication networks, Industrial, mechanical and military.
As fiber optic connectors are many types, the fiber patch cables are also many types based on these connectors. Connector design standards include FC, SC, ST, LC, MTRJ, MTP/MPO, MU, SMA, FDDI, E2000, DIN4, and D4. Cables are classified by the connectors on either end of the cable; some of the most common cable configurations include FC-FC, FC-SC, FC-LC and FC-ST, SC-SC, SC-ST and single mode LC-LC patch cord.
The connector’s inserted core cover conforms to APC, UPC, or PC configuration. A UPC inserted core cover is flat and is used in SARFT and early CATV. An APC connector’s inserted core cover is oblique (about 30 °, ±5 °). To reduce the back reflection of a connector, UPC polish, industry standard is a minimum of–40dB for PC back reflection measurement and–50dB for UPC back reflection measurement. If even less back reflection is required, an APC might be necessary. An APC connector has an 8ºangle cut into the ferrule.
These connectors are identifiable by their green color. An APC polished connector has an Indus-try Standard Minimum of–60dB measurement. APC fiber ends have low back reflection even when disconnected. There can be single mode UPC and single mode APC connectors on the same SMF patch cord, but for multimode, there is only UPC type connectors and thus only multimode UPC fiber patch cords. For example, FC/APC SC/APC Patch Cord 9/125 SM Simplex 3.0mm 1 m.
Based on the cable structure, there is simplex fiber patch cable, which only has one strand of optical fiber inside the single jacket. Duplex fiber patch cable can be regarded as two simplex types joint side by side. Multi fiber patch cables have many optical fibers inside the single cable jacket.
