LC Fiber Optic Patch Cord
LC fiber optic patch cord is one of the most commonly used fiber optic patch cords in optical networks. Because it uses an LC connector with a diameter of 1.25mm, it is small in size and very suitable for high-density wiring. Therefore, it is widely used in computer rooms and data centers. Today, in order to meet the high-density and high-performance requirements of data centers, we have launched LC fiber optic patch cords with better performance, such as ultra-low insertion loss LC fiber optic patch cords, one-tube dual-core LC fiber optic patch cords, etc.
Ultra-low insertion loss LC fiber optic patch cord: Compared with conventional LC fiber optic patch cords (insertion loss is generally 0.75dB), ultra-low insertion loss LC fiber optic patch cords use LL technology, and the insertion loss can be as low as 0.12dB, which is more suitable for long-distance transmission.
One-tube dual-core LC fiber optic patch cord: One-tube dual-core LC fiber optic patch cord uses a specially designed LC uniboot connector, which allows optical signals to be transmitted bidirectionally in a single optical fiber, providing more possibilities for high-density wiring. Compared with standard LC fiber optic patch cords, it can effectively increase space utilization by 50%, which not only saves time and cost but also makes wiring more convenient, especially suitable for places with limited space.

SC Fiber Optic Patch Cable
SC fiber optic patch cable uses an SC connector with a ferrule diameter of 2.5mm, which is twice the size of an LC connector. This fiber optic patch cable adopts a push-pull structure, is plug-and-play, and has excellent performance. It is very suitable for telecommunications and data network systems, including point-to-point passive optical networks. MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cable
MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cable is one of the common fiber optic patch cables in current high-speed data communication systems, such as 40G/100G direct connection and interconnection. MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cable is a fiber optic patch cable that uses a multi-core fiber optic connector and can accommodate 6 to 144 optical fibers. It is the fiber optic patch cable with the largest capacity at present. MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cable is composed of optical fiber, sheath, coupling component, metal ring, pin (PIN), dust cap, etc. Among them, due to the different arrangement positions of the number of optical fiber cores and the different pins, it is divided into polarity A/polarity B/polarity C male/female fiber optic patch cables. Due to the different types, the applicable applications are also different. Therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to select the appropriate MPO/MTP fiber optic patch cable according to the actual link situation.
FC fiber patch cord
FC fiber patch cord is the first fiber patch cord to use a ceramic ferrule connector. Unlike LC fiber patch cord and SC fiber patch cord, the connector it uses is a circular screw connector made of nickel-plated or stainless steel, which needs to be fixed to the adapter or jack with a threaded clip. Although the installation of FC fiber patch cord is more complicated, it is still a commonly used fiber patch cord for connecting optical time domain reflectometers. At first, FC fiber patch cord was also used in telecommunications and data network systems, but with the introduction of LC fiber patch cord and SC fiber patch cord, it gradually withdrew from the market.

ST fiber patch cord
ST fiber patch cord is a fiber patch cord developed and manufactured by AT&T after FC fiber patch cord. ST fiber patch cord uses a bayonet connector with a spring-loaded ceramic ferrule (2.5mm diameter) and an insertion loss of about 0.25dB. It can be used for long-distance and short-distance applications, such as campus networks, enterprise networks, etc. However, the market share of ST fiber patch cords and FC fiber patch cords has been gradually declining in recent years.
