Product Description

LC APC to LC APC Duplex SM Armored Optical Fiber Patch Cable

Armored fiber optic patch cords are reinforced fiber optic connectors with a core of single-mode or multimode optical fibers, encased in a metal armor layer (typically stainless steel or aluminum strips) and a protective outer jacket (made of PVC or PE). This robust structure delivers exceptional mechanical protection: the armor layer significantly boosts resistance to stretching, extrusion, and bending, enabling the cords to withstand strong external impacts, while the outer jacket enhances moisture resistance, dustproofing, and weather resistance—making them suitable for harsh environments like extreme temperatures and high humidity. The metal armor also provides electromagnetic interference shielding.

In terms of performance, these patch cords match standard ones, with insertion loss ≤0.3dB and return loss ≥40dB for low-loss signal transmission. They come with common connector types such as SC, LC, FC, and ST, allowing flexible matching with device interfaces. Widely used in scenarios involving frequent movement, exposure to external forces, or harsh conditions—including outdoor cabling, industrial control, and data centers—they offer a reliable balance of durability and signal quality.

Features

1. Eliminates modal dispersion for ultra-long-distance transmission.
2. Minimal signal loss ensures high-quality signals over 10+ km.
3. Supports 10Gbps+ speeds for gigabit/terabit data transfer.
4. Standardized LC/SC/ST/FC with low insertion/return loss.
5. PVC/LSZH protection for indoor, outdoor, and industrial use.
6. Operates at 1310nm (low dispersion) and 1550nm (low loss).
7. Resists temperature/mechanical stress for consistent signal quality.
8. Available in armored/plenum types for diverse environments.

Applications

1. High-density server/switch connections for low-latency data transfer.
2. Long-haul networks for intercity/international voice/data/video.
3. Reliable last-mile broadband delivery to residential/commercial users.
4. Harsh-environment sensor/machinery connectivity for real-time control.
5. Long-distance HD video transmission for security networks.
6. Low-latency data transfer in imaging/surgical equipment.

Product Applications

Fiber optic patch cord, widely used in local, data, and image transmission networks, is crucial for ensuring high-quality signal integrity. It tests and monitors optical signals in CATV systems, verifies data packet accuracy in data networks to prevent loss/latency, and optimizes optical pathways for high-quality video in image networks (e.g., broadcasting). Additionally, photoelectric automatic control systems use advanced photodetectors and sensors to automate industrial processes: measuring light intensity, converting it to electrical signals for real-time adjustments, and enhancing operational efficiency and precision.
