Auto Shutter Patch Cord Fiber Optic Patch Cables
I. Description:
A patch cord is a fiber optic cable used to attach one device to
another for signal routing. Normally, there are 4 types connector:
FC/SC/LC/ST.. 3types ferrule: PC, UPC, APC…
FC stands for Fixed Connection. It is fixed by way of threaded
barrel housing. FC connectors are generally constructed with a
metal housing and are nickel-plated.
SC stands for Subscriber Connector- a general purpose push/pull
style connector. It is a square, snap-in connector latches with a
simple push-pull motion and is keyed.
LC patch cord is a fiber optic cable used to attach one device to
another for signal routing. LC stands for Lucent Connector. It is a
small form-factor fiber optic connector, half the size of the SC.
ST stands for Straight Tip- a quick release bayonet style
connector. ST connectors are cylindrical with twist lock coupling.
They are push-in and twist types
PC stands for Physical Contact.With the PC connector, the two
fibers meet as they do with the flat connector, but the end faces
are polished to be slightly curved or spherical. This eliminates
the air gap and forces the fibers into contact
UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact.The end faces are given an
extended polishing for a better surface finish. These connectors
are often used in digital, CATV, and telephony systems.
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact The end faces are still
curved, but they’re angled at an industry-standard eight degrees.
This maintains a tight connection. These connectors are preferred
for CATV and analogue systems.
