Detailed Display of Simplex Patch Cord
The cable is yellow, made of single-mode (SM) fiber. Single-mode fiber enables long-distance and high-bandwidth data transmission, ideal for applications like telecommunications and data centers. It is a simplex patch cord, meaning it has one fiber strand (though the cord may appear with two connectors for duplex-like presentation, it functions as simplex for single-channel transmission).
There is a label on the package, marking some essential information of the goods, like insertion loss and return loss. The cable is flexible and well-structured, suitable for indoor environments where reliable optical connections are required.
The connectors have color-coded markers (e.g., “A” and “B”) for easy identification and management of fiber channels. They feature LX.5 APC connectors. The connectors are green, and the “LX.5 Mark” is clearly engraved on them, indicating the specific connector type. APC (Angled Physical Contact) design ensures low return loss, suitable for high-performance optical transmission.
