Detailed Display of Fc Fc Patch Cord
The cable is sheathed in a blue jacket. This blue color often signifies an armored or ruggedized design, providing enhanced protection against physical damage, making it suitable for harsh environments or applications where the cable might be subject to abrasion, crushing, or other mechanical stresses.
It is flexible enough to be coiled as shown, while the armored jacket (implied by the blue color) offers durability. It is designed for high-performance optical signal transmission, ensuring low insertion loss and high reliability in data communication, telecommunications, or fiber optic test and measurement setups.
Both ends feature FC connectors. The FC connector has a metal ferrule with a threaded design, ensuring a secure and stable connection. The connector ferrules are paired with green boots, which typically indicate compatibility with specific fiber types (such as APC polished fibers, often used in applications requiring low insertion loss and high return loss, like CATV systems). Ideal for connecting optical devices, patch panels, and test equipment in fiber optic networks, data centers, or CATV systems where secure connections and robust cable performance are essential.
