In this category, you will find kinds of duplex and simplex LC/SC/FC/ST fiber optic patchcords. UnitekFiber is a professional factory producing high quality of fiber patch cords with corning fiberglass, riser fiber cables and plenum fiber cables. We also offer OEM service for fiber patchcord’s colors, fiber cable printing, packing design. We have applied ROHS, UL, CRP certificates to ensure the reliability and stability of each patch cords and provide excellent products to our customers.
Fiber optic patch cords are one of the most widely used basic components in optical communications. A fiber optic cable with a fiber connector at both ends is called a fiber optic patch cord. The optical patch lead passive components for realizing the active connection of different devices and systems in optical fiber communication and are an important part of optical fiber and optical cable wiring management systems. It is used in conjunction with the fiber distribution frame, the fiber junction box, and the fiber terminal box to achieve the fusion of the optical cables in different directions. The flexible distribution of fiber optic patch cord enables efficient and flexible management and maintenance of the entire fiber optic communication network.
Single mode fiber patch cord: Single mode 9/125um optic patch cord are designed for long-distance transmission. They have a smaller core diameter (typically 9 microns) compared to multimode optical patch cord. Single mode fiber patch cord are commonly used in applications such as long-haul telecommunications, data centers, and high-speed internet connections.
Multimode fiber optic patch cord: Multimode fiber patch cord are designed for shorter distance transmission. They have a larger core diameter (typically 50 or 62.5 microns) compared to single mode patch cord. Multimode fiber jumper are often utilized in LAN (Local Area Network) environments, campus networks, and short-distance communications within buildings.
PC (Physical Contact): PC fiber connectors have a curved or domed end-face that makes physical contact with the mating fiber connector.
APC (Angled Physical Contact): APC fiber connectors have an angled end-face that causes a slight angle to the fiber, reducing back reflections.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): UPC fiber connectors also have a curved end-face like PC fiber connectors but with tighter tolerances for physical alignment.
