SC Patch Cords

Single-mode fiber patch cords

Single-mode fiber patch cords are used for long-distance communication. There are different types of single-mode fibers, such as G657A (bend-insensitive), G652D (widely used for long-haul communication), and G655A (non-zero dispersion-shifted for long-haul networks).

Multi-mode fiber patch cords

Multi-mode fiber patch cords are used for short-distance communication. They include different types like OM1 (lower bandwidth), OM2 (higher bandwidth), OM3 (high-bandwidth), OM4 (further improved version of OM3), and OM5 (designed for high bandwidth over long distances).

 

• Simplex fiber patch cords have a single fiber core and are used for long-distance or short-distance communication. They are available in single-mode or multi-mode variants and various connector types.

 

• Duplex fiber patch cords have two separate fiber cores for bi-directional communication. They are used for high-speed data transmission over longer distances, and they also come in single-mode or multi-mode variants with different connector types.

 

SC patch cords use SC connectors and provide reliable fiber optic connectivity for various applications. They are durable, have low insertion loss, and are widely used in data centers and telecommunications networks.

APC (Angled Physical Contact) ferrule is a type of fiber optic connector ferrule end-face configuration. Unlike the flat end-face of a PC ferrule, the APC ferrule has a polished angled surface, typically at an angle of 8 degrees. This angled surface helps to minimize back reflection or return loss, resulting in improved signal performance and lower insertion loss compared to PC connectors. APC ferrules are commonly used in applications where low back reflection is critical, such as in long-haul communications, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, and high-speed data transmission. They are often found in connectors like SC-APC, FC-APC, and LC-APC.
