Indoor Fiber Optic Patch Cords
Fiber optic patch cords, also called fiber jumper cables, are lengths of fiber cable terminated with fiber optic connectors on both ends. They connect fiber optical devices to each other for fast, stable data transmission.
Fiber optic patch cords can be divided into single-mode and multimode. Single-mode has a small fiber core diameter and low dispersion, and it is more suitable for long-distance data transmission.
Pre-terminated Multi-Core Fiber Optic Patch Cords
Fiber patch cords connect devices like computers, monitors, printers and data storage units to network systems. They help provide high-speed connectivity for communications and other applications.
Pre-terminated multicore fiber optic cable assemblies are ideal for high-density cabling environments, with pre-installed connectors that save significant time during the installation process. The assembly can be delivered to the job site ready to use, reducing installation costs and the need for expensive tools.
They come with either SC or LC connections on both ends and are available in a range of core sizes including OM3, OM4, OM5, 0S1 and OS2. The LC uniboot connector on these cables offers an enhanced or low-loss advanced optical performance, and they can be provided in LSZH, plenum and riser-rated jackets.
Uniboot fiber patch cords also offer a switchable polarity option, which allows the polarity to be switched simply by manipulating the connector without using special tools. This feature protects against incorrect network polarity and ensures correct data transfer. The switches are made from ceramic or metal and can be chosen in a grooved or non-grooved design to match your needs.
FC Patch Cord
FC Patch Cords can be used with both multimode and single-mode fibers. They are characterized by the FC connector, which features a secure threaded nut connection method. The end faces of these connectors have been polished with UPC or Ultra Physical Contact polish, which ensures a highly radiused domed surface that optimizes physical contact between mated fiber cores.
As the demand for higher data speeds and increased storage capacities continues to rise, these cables are becoming a staple indoor-fiber-optic-patch-cords in SAN environments. They can also be used to connect computer systems, monitors, printers and other network devices.
Pre-terminated fiber optic patch cords offer an efficient and economical alternative to on-site termination and splicing. They are available in a variety of lengths and connector types, making them easy to install and change in high-density network configurations. In addition, these cables have been inspected and tested to ensure that they meet TIA/EIA-455-171-A-010 attenuation standards. This certification guarantees that your patch cable can be connected without loss of signal transmission. There are also several special designs that can be used to meet your specific networking requirements.
LC Patch Cord
LC Fiber Patch Cords are terminated with an LC connector on both ends and used to connect devices such as switches, routers, and servers. The LC connector is smaller than other types of fiber optic cable connections such as SC and ST, which allows for higher port density in networking equipment. The LC connector also features a push-pull latch that makes it easy to insert and remove the connector.
Compared to other fiber patch cords, LC patch cables feature low insertion loss, which helps ensure efficient data transmission. They also have a small form factor, which helps to make them more compact and space-saving. This type of cable is often used in high-density network environments such as data centers.
Each LC patch cord is individually optically inspected and tested to ensure optimal performance. This includes testing the cable for insertion loss, sheath fire rating, and more. Bonelinks’ LC patch cords are available in both single-mode and multimode options, depending on the type of fiber you choose. They are also RoHS compliant and provide immunity against electrical interference.
Uniboot Fiber Optic Patch Cord
Uniboot fiber patch cords feature LC duplex connectors on both ends and are ideal for environments that require polarity reversal. They can be used with either multimode OM3/OM4 or single-mode OS2 cable types and have a flexible construction that allows you to switch the polarity without tools.
These cables also save space in the patch panel by allowing one port to carry optical-fiber-rangers-otdr two fibers, thus reducing cabling congestion. They’re also a good choice for high-density data center applications where the need for space saving and reduction of cable management troubles is essential.
Unlike traditional LC patch cords that use snap rings and Kevlar crimp boots, the newer push-pull type LC uniboot patch cables have a more convenient and simple locking mechanism that allows you to easily remove and insert connectors with minimal effort. They can be used for a variety of applications including connecting desktop computers, monitors, and printers to network switches or servers.
Available in standard LC SM fiber lengths, this stock product offers a reliable connection with superior strain relief. The LC patch cords have high quality ceramic connector ferrules with an aramid crimp ring for added strength and are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Automatic Shutter SC/APC Fiber Optic Patch Cord
Automatic Shutter SC/APC Patch Cords are designed with sophisticated dust and laser protection mechanism to ensure easy plug-in and removal. The shutters on both the connector and adapter open and close seamlessly during connection, effectively preventing dust or contamination from getting into the fiber endfaces. They also eliminate safety concerns that result from laser contact.
Developed with advanced Corning/YOFC fiber CCTC ceramic ferrules and high-quality PVC material, this SC patch cord is reliable and durable for long-term use. It can withstand high-temperature conditions and is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. In addition, it has a low insertion loss and excellent return loss performance.
SC Duplex Optical Fiber Adapter with Automatic Shuttered Shutter features a simplex connector at one end and a duplex connector at the other, allowing it to connect two different fiber optic cables together. It also has a spring-loaded shutter that opens when the plug is inserted and closed when it is removed, providing excellent dust-free connections. This specialized adapter is also UL certified to meet all applicable requirements. Moreover, it has high precision alignment sleeves and a metal housing for stability.
