SC or LC Fiber Patchcord or fiber jumper
Product Description
Fiber optic jumper or fiber optic patchcord is a fiber optic cable preterminated with a fiber optic connector on one end, the other end is the same connector or different connector. The typical fiber optic connector is SC or LC or FC.
SC represents Subscriber Connector, which provides non-optical disconnect terminations in a push-pull coupling mechanism. With the pre-assembled 1-piece body design and pre-polished ferrules, these connectors provide quick and economical terminations both in factory and in-the-field settings.
LC represents Lucent Connector, which meets the growing demand for small form factor, higher density fiber optic connectivity. The ceramic ferrule is used to terminate the fiber along with the reliable industry standard RJ-45 telephone plug interface. LC connectors are available in both simplex and duplex configurations.
FC represents Fiber Contact, which utilizes a threaded coupling mechanism. The pre-assembled, 1-piece body design and the pre-polished ferrules provide quick and economical terminations both in factory and in-the-field settings. Connector mating is achieved by using bulkhead feed-through adapters. These adapters combine a metal housing and either a precision ceramic or a rugged metal alignment sleeve.
Fiber optic communication has changed this planet since 1980s. Single mode fiber has the advantages of easy maintenance, low attenuation, wide optical wavelength range and high speed data at each optical wavelength. In addition, fiber has high stability at temperature change and various environments. Fiber optic communications are playing important roles from intercontinental information exchange to family entertainments. WDM devices, Fiber splitters and fiber patchcords are the key components in passive optical network (PON), supporting multi optical wavelengths co-working from one point to multi-points two-way applications. Together with the innovations on active components such as laser, photodiode, APD and optical amplifier, passive fiber optic components make fiber cable available at the door of subscribers’ home at an affordable cost. High speed internet, huge broadcasting HD video streams over fiber make this planet smaller.
