LC/UPC – LC/UPC OM3 Simplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Fiber optic patch cords are designed to deliver stable, low-loss optical signal transmission in modern communication networks. This product series supports both single-mode and multi-mode transmission requirements and is engineered for high reliability in telecom, data, and structured cabling environments.

Product Features

• Supports both Single Mode (9/125μm) and Multi Mode (50/125μm, 62.5/125μm) fiber types to meet different network transmission requirements.

• Customizable cable lengths available, including 0.5m, 5m, 10m, and other specified lengths based on project needs.

• Equipped with high-precision zirconia ceramic ferrules, ensuring stable alignment and long-term durability.

• Available connector polishing types:

• PC (Pre-polished Contact)

• UPC (Ultra Physical Contact)

• APC (Angled Physical Contact)
  These polishing methods reduce back reflection and insertion loss while improving connection repeatability and optical stability.

• Designed with low insertion loss, strong repeatability, high interchangeability, and excellent temperature stability, suitable for long-term deployment in demanding environments.
