Among the types of fiber optic patch cords, SC patch cords and LC patch cords are the most commonly used types because they have strong compatibility, flexible wiring, support single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic transmission, and meet the diverse needs from short-distance local area networks to long-distance data centers. Therefore, they are widely used in modern network equipment, fiber access network and data center environments.
SC Patch Cords (Rectangular body):
The SC connector housing is rectangular and adopts a plug-in latch design, ceramic ferrule 2.5mm diameter, which is easy and quick to connect. It is commonly used in routers, switches, optical modems and fiber optic transceiver equipment.
LC Patch Cords (Small rectangular body, half of SC):
The LC small-size connector (ceramic ferrule 1.25mm diameter) uses a modular jack latch mechanism and is suitable for high-density environments. It is mainly used to connect SFP optical modules and servers.
In addition to the above two ends with the same connector types, we can also provide hybrid patch cord with different connectors, as below:
With the increasing demand for big data and high-speed bandwidth, the application of MPO/MTP patch cables is also increasing, and the demand is also increasing.
Yingda has professional MPO production lines and testing equipment to fully meet customer customization needs. Inquiries are welcome.
Other common types include FC patch cords (screw-type fastener, used in fiber optic patch panels) and ST patch cords (round clip, used in enterprise or campus networks), but these are less frequently used than SC and LC patch cord types.
