Fiber Optic Patch Cord Specifications:

1. Fiber Type:
   • Single-mode (SMF): Designed for long-distance data transmission, usually over 10 km. It has a small core diameter (typically 9 µm) and operates at wavelengths of 1310 nm or 1550 nm.
   • Multimode (MMF): Suitable for shorter distances, usually within 2 km. It has a larger core diameter (50 µm or 62.5 µm) and operates at wavelengths of 850 nm or 1300 nm.
2. Connector Types:
   • SC (Subscriber Connector): Square connector with push-pull mechanism.
   • LC (Lucent Connector): smaller, compact connector, typically used in high-density applications.
   • ST (Straight Tip): Bayonet-style connector, commonly used in networking environments.
   • FC (Ferrule Connector): threaded connector, known for secure connection.
3. Cable Length:
   • Available in various lengths, commonly ranging from 0.5 meters to 30 meters. Custom lengths are also available based on requirements.
4. Cable Jacket:
   • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Standard jacket material, suitable for most environments.
   • LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen): Provides reduced smoke and toxicity in case of fire, ideal for use in confined spaces.
   • Plenum: Fire-resistant and suitable for installation in air-handling spaces.
5. Polish Type:
   • PC (Physical Contact): Standard polish type.
   • UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): Enhanced polish for lower insertion loss and higher return loss.
   • APC (Angled Physical Contact): Angled polish (typically 8 degrees) for even better return loss performance, commonly used in high-precision applications.
6. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically less than 0.3 dB for single-mode connectors and less than 0.5 dB for multimode connectors.
7. Return Loss:
   • Greater than 50 dB for UPC connectors and greater than 60 dB for APC connectors.
8. Core Diameter:
   • Single-mode: 9 µm
   • Multimode: 50 µm or 62.5 µm
9. Cladding Diameter:
   • Standard 125 µm for both single-mode and multimode fibers.
10. Operating Temperature:
    • Usually between -20°C to +70°C, depending on the jacket material and specific application requirements.

Fiber Optic Patch Cord Applications:

• Telecommunications: For connecting various telecom devices and facilitating data transfer over long distances.
• Data Centers: For high-speed, reliable data transfer between servers, storage systems, and networking devices.
• Enterprise Networks: To ensure high-performance connectivity and efficient data communication.
• Industrial and Military: For robust and reliable data transmission in harsh environments.
