Description

FC to LC patch cord is fiber optic cable with FC connector one side, and the other side is LC connector.

FC fiber optic connector was first developed by NTT in Japan. FC is the abbreviation for Ferrule Connector, indicating that its external reinforcement method is using a metal sleeve and the fastening method is a screw buckle. The earliest FC connector although simple in structure, easy to operate, and easy to manufacture, but it were more sensitive to fine dust at the fiber end and prone to Fresnel reflection, making it difficult to improve the return loss performance. Later, improvements were made to FC connector by using a spherical mating ferrule (PC), while the external structure remained unchanged, resulting in a significant improvement in insertion loss and return loss performance.

FC patch cord is one of the early and commonly used fiber optic patch cable, which is not only convenient to apply but also low-cost. It is one of the commonly used fiber optic patch cords, and the end face of the ferrule is mostly ground using APC and UPC types; The fastening method is to use a metal circular thread rotating locking structure. FC connector is easy to insert and remove, has a high installation density, but cannot be connected in a dual form. It has low insertion loss fluctuations and high compressive strength, and is widely used in fiber optic communication networks.

LC patch cord use a miniaturized (SFF) connector, which is an ideal choice for high-density space applications. The plug of this LC fiber optic connector is made of zirconia ceramic material with a diameter of only 1.25 mm. The end face of the ferrule has two types: PC and APC. Due to its high-precision installation, it has the best insertion loss and return loss.

The LC type connector was developed by the renowned Bell Institute and is made using a modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism that is easy to operate. LC is the abbreviation for Lucent Connector, which uses half the size of the pins and sockets used in regular SC, FC, etc., and is 1.25mm. This can increase the density of fiber optic connectors in the fiber optic distribution frame. There are two types of plug end faces, PC and APC, which have the best insertion loss and return loss due to high-precision installation.

At present, in single-mode SFF, LC connectors have actually taken the dominant position, and their applications in multi-mode have also grown rapidly.
