5M LC APC to LC APC Duplex OS2 Single Mode PVC 2.0mm Fiber Optic Patch Cable

1. Basic Introduction:

Fiber optic patch cables are suited for equipment jumper cords, cross-connects, and work area connections. All patch cables are manufactured using riser grade cable and are factory tested to make sure performance meets Telcordia standards. Patch cords are available in both multimode and Singlemode, in simplex and duplex.

All jumpers are manufactured to meet or exceed Telcordia GR326-CORE Issue 4 specifications.

They are tested for proper end face clarity, insertion loss, return loss, and end face geometry to ensure peak optical performance.

7. How to choose Fiber patch cords?

1)Fiber Cable Mode: Single Mode or Multimode

The mode of fiber patch cables indicates how light beams travel within the fiber. There are two fiber cable modes: single mode and multimode.

2)Number of Fiber Strands: Simplex or Duplex

According to the number of fiber strands, there are simplex and duplex fiber patch cord. As shown in Figure 2, simplex fiber patch cord contains one single strand of fiber with one simplex connector on each end. It can be linked with a pair of BiDi transceiver modules featuring with one port. Whereas duplex fiber patch cord consists of two strands of glass or plastic with one duplex connector (or considered as two simplex connectors). It is often linked with common transceivers or dual fiber BiDi transceivers.

3) Choose the Right Cable Jacket Type (PVC/LSZH/OFNP/Armored)
Usually, there are three cable jacket types: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum (OFNP). You can see there features in figure below and choose the right one for your network.

4) Connector Type: LC, SC, ST or Others

There are many connector types used in fiber patch cables such as LC, SC, ST, MTP or MPO listed in this article How Many Fiber Connector Types Do You Know? Aside from these connectors, there is a latest connector design called MDC connector, which enables the highest achievable connector density by delivering a 3X advantage over a standard LC connector. The different connector types are to plug into different interfaces, so you’d better affirm the interface type of the devices you are using the first time.

5) Choose the Right Connector Polish Type (UPC/APC)
Since the loss of the APC connector is lower than UPC connectors, usually, the optical performance of APC connectors is better than UPC connectors. In the current market, the APC connectors are widely used in applications such as FTTx, passive optical network (PON) and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) that are more sensitive to return loss. But APC connector is usually expensive than UPC connector, so you should weigh the pros and cons. With those applications that call for high precision optical fiber signaling, APC should be the first consideration, but less sensitive digital systems will perform equally well using UPC. Usually, connector color of APC patch cable is green, and of UPC patch cable is blue.

Who is Geehe Comm?

Geehe Comm was founded in 2006, and we have been in the Passive Optics field for more than 15 years.

We have previously focused on domestic trade OEM service for Brands in China and eventually achieved the industry's Top ten annual sales of more than 500 million.

Also OEM service for American and European brands from the 2016 year.

We have seen that today there are also many factories and wholesalers internationally. However, their level of craftsmanship and testing are still stuck in a few years ago.

In fact, the production equipment of testings has been upgraded in recent years, and Geehe Comm hopes our advanced technology can inject fresh blood into this market.

Consumers deserve a better Fiber patch cord.
