Fiberplan Optical Fiber Communication Systems Drop Cable Patch Cord LC SC FC ST

• Singlemode 9/125 um core: This means the fiber optic cable has a single mode fiber with a

core diameter of 9 micrometers and a cladding diameter of 125 micrometers. Singlemode

• fiber is used for long-distance communication because it allows a single mode of light to

propagate.

• Simplex zipcord style: "Simplex" means it's a single fiber cable (as opposed to duplex,

which would have two fibers). "Zipcord style" means it's designed for easy separation, usually

with two fibers side by side.

• LC/UPC to FC/UPC connectors: LC and FC are connector types. LC connectors are small

form factor connectors commonly used in data communication applications. FC connectors are older,

but still widely used, especially in telecommunications. "UPC" stands for Ultra Physical Contact, which

indicates the type of polishing used on the connectors to minimize back reflection and insertion loss.

• Return attenuation exceeding 50dB for singlemode connections: This indicates the level of

signal loss or attenuation when light is reflected back along the fiber. A return attenuation

exceeding 50dB means that less than 0.001% of the light is reflected back.

Technical specifications
 

• Typical insertion loss: This refers to the loss of signal power when light is transmitted

through the patch cord. In this case, it's 0.2 dB, which is a low value, indicating minimal loss.

• Return loss > 53 dB: Return loss is a measure of how much light is reflected back into

the source. A return loss greater than 53 dB means very little light is reflected, ensuring efficient

transmission.

• Fiber jacket: The fiber jacket is 1.8mm thick, colored yellow, and follows a zipcord style.

The thickness of the jacket provides protection to the fiber and the yellow color indicates it's

singlemode fiber.

• Operating temperature: The patch cord is designed to operate in a wide range of

temperatures, from -40 to +75 Celsius degrees. This ensures it can function in various environments.

• Manual testing and verification: Each cable assembly is manually tested and verified to

ensure quality and performance.

• Individually sealed and labeled: To maintain quality, each cable assembly is sealed and labeled

individually.

• Labeling with measured loss: Each patch cord is labeled with its measured loss, providing transparency

about its performance.

Features & Applications:

• Optical fiber access networks: These are networks that connect end-users to the central network.

This patch cord is ideal for connecting end-user equipment, such as modems or routers, to the network.

• Optical fiber data transmission: Whether it's transmitting data over long distances or within a local

network, this patch cord ensures efficient and reliable data transmission.

• Local area networks (LANs): It's compatible with LANs, where it can connect devices such as

computers, printers, and servers over short to medium distances, providing high-speed data transfer

with minimal loss. ​

​

• Cable type: Simplex: It consists of a single fiber, making it suitable for applications requiring only

one-way communication.

• Core cladding diameter: Single mode 9/125: The fiber has a core diameter of 9 micrometers and

a cladding diameter of 125 micrometers, making it compatible with single mode transmission.

• Cable outer diameter: 3mm: The cable's outer diameter is 3mm, providing durability without

excessive bulkiness.

• Number of plug insertions: <1000 times: The cable can withstand repeated insertions and

removals up to 1000 times.

• Working temperature: -40°C to +80°C: It operates effectively in a wide range of temperatures,

from -40°C to +80°C.

• Storage temperature range: -40°C to +85°C: It can be safely stored in temperatures ranging

from -40°C to +85°C.

• Length: 9.8ft (3 meters): This patch cable is 9.8ft (3 meters) long, providing flexibility in installations.
• Standards: RoHS compliant: It complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

regulations, ensuring it's environmentally friendly.

Packaging:

Each patch cable is individually packaged in a PE bag. Multiple cables can be packed together in

an outer carton for convenience.
