Duplex LC UPC to LC UPC Fiber Optic Patch Cord for Single Mode Uniboot
Fiber Optic Patchcords are components to link equipments and components in fiber optic network. There are many types according to different types of fiber optic connector including FC SV SC LC ST E2000N MTRJN MPO etc. with single mode(9/125um) and multimode (50/125 or 62.5/125). Cable jacket material can be PVC, LSZH; OFNR, OFNP etc. There are simplex, duplex, multi fibers, Ribbon fan out and bundle fiber.

1.1 Types of Fiber
1.1.1 Single-Mode (SMF): Designed for long-distance transmission (up to 100+ km), typically using a 9/125µm core/cladding diameter.
1.1.2 Multi-Mode (MMF): Used for shorter distances (up to 500m–2km), with common core sizes of 50/125µm or 62.5/125µm.
1.2 Connector Types
1.2.1 LC (Lucent Connector): Small form-factor, popular in high-density applications.
1.2.2 SC (Subscriber Connector): Push-pull design, commonly used in datacoms and telecom.
1.2.3 FC (Ferrule Connector): Screw-on type, often used in high-vibration environments.
1.2.4 ST (Straight Tip): Bayonet-style, used in older networks.
1.2.5 MTP/MPO: Multi-fiber connectors for high-capacity links (e.g., 12/24 fibers).
1.3 Polish Types
1.3.1 PC (Physical Contact): Slightly rounded for reduced air gaps.
1.3.2 UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): Higher reflection loss (~-55dB).
1.3.3 APC (Angled Physical Contact): 8° angled endface for minimal back reflection (~-65dB).
1.4 Cable Jacketing
1.4.1 Simplex: Single fiber, single cable.
1.4.2 Duplex: Two fibers (often for Tx/Rx).
1.4.3 Armored: Reinforced for harsh environments.
1.4.4 Bend-Insensitive (BI): Resistant to tight bends.
