LC Patch Cords - High Density Fiber Optic Patching For Data Centers

As a global leading designer, manufacturer of high quality components and systems for the photonics industry at competitive prices, Fiberstore provides various type of fiber optic cables and fiber patch cords including common single-mode 9/125, OM1 62.5/125, 10GOM3/OM4 patch cables, armored patch cables, fiber optic pigtails, multi core patch cables, 12 fiber MTP to LC and other special patch cables, with SC, ST, FC, LC, MU, MTRJ, E2000, APC/UPC terminations. Take LC fiber optic patch cable for example, we will intros the main features and applications of Fiberstore fiber patch cord.

The LC patch cord is with a small form factor (SFF) connector and is ideal for high density applications.The LC fiber connector has a zirconia ceramic ferrule measuring 1.25mm O.D. with either a PC or APC endface, and provides optimum insertion and return loss.The LC fiber patch cable connector is used on small diameter mini-cordage (1.6mm/2.0mm) as well as 3.0mm cable. LC fiber patch cords are available in cable assembled or one piece connectors. The LC fiber optic assemblies family is Telcordia, ANSI/EIA/TIA and IEC compliant.

Fiberstore LC duplex jumper offers a unique solution for high-density fiber optic patching environments. It features a revolutionary and innovative push-pull boot design to control the latch, enabling easy access and removal in tight-fitting areas. The LC patch cord utilizes a smaller diameter uni-tube cable design which reduces cable pathway congestion improving air flow and increasing energy efficiency while simplifying overall cable management. The LC patch cord provides low-loss performance for Multimode and Singlemode supporting the precise optical performance requirements for high speed networks and improving network performance. The LC patch cord is ideal for patching high density blade servers, patch panels and equipment.

Fiberstore LC duplex/simplex fiber optic patch cords containing the custom push-pull strain relief boot and duplex/simplex chip, allow users easy accessibility in tight areas when deploying very high density LC patch fields in data center applications. They are available in OM4, OM3, or OS1/OS2 fiber types, LC-LC, LC-SC, LC-ST, LC-MU, LC-MTRJ, LC-MPO, LC-MTP, LC-FC. 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high speed Fiber Channel.

10G Ethernet Transmission MPO System Scheme

June 2002, IEEE802.3ae Task Force issued a series of fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet standard, commonly used in LAN 10GBase-SR/SW as example, 10GBase-SR/SW using serial transmission technology, that is, each core optical fiber only send or receive signals, so to achieve 10Gbps transmission requires at least two-core optical fiber.

MPO fiber optic deployment system has two solutions, one is to use the program with MPO module box, because MPO module box is with metal needles, therefore MPO trunk cables do not need to distinguish whether with a metal pin (Pin), most users tend to use MPO module case scenario; another option is to use MPO coupler, such programs must differentiate between MPO trunk cables with metal needles and without metal pin, the other two ends need to convert Fiber Jumper, so this program is rarely adoption.

According ANSI/TIA-568-C.3 standards are divided into the following two types of duplex Fiber jumpers:

Standard: (A-B) Non-Standard: (A-A) According ANSI/TIA-568-C.3 standard, MPO coupler is divided into Type A, Type B two types:   MPO fiber optic system according to the MPO trunk cables, MPO module boxes and jumpers of different types have different combinations of programs, mainly A, B, C three kinds of channel combination scheme

Method A: Using straight-through (Type A) of MPO trunk cables, Fiber Jumpers must be used at both ends of different models, Scenario A increases the complexity of the orders, it is not recommended to use programs A.

Method B: A fully cross (Type B) of MPO trunk cables, MPO module box must use two different types (Key Up-Key Up) and (Key Down-Key Down), another plan B does not support the ramp octave end face (singlemode fiber, so most manufacturers do not recommend using program B.

Method C: Using lines cross (Type C) of MPO trunk cables, MPO consistent at both ends of the module box (Type A) and standard jumpers, so Option C is the solution of choice for 10G Ethernet recommended.

There are some related MPO products from fiberstore, you can see to know more about MPO Fiber.
