Precision Fiber Connections: Syrotech SC/UPC to E2000/APC Duplex Patch Cord
In advanced fiber optic networks, especially in telecommunications, CATV, and testing environments, specific connector types and performance characteristics are often required. The Syrotech SC/UPC to E2000/APC Single Mode Duplex Patch Cord is expertly designed to bridge the gap between commonly used SC/UPC interfaces and the high-performance, secure E2000/APC connector, ensuring optimal signal integrity for demanding applications.
Understanding the Connectors: SC/UPC vs. E2000/APC
-
SC/UPC (Subscriber Connector / Ultra Physical Contact): A widely used connector featuring a push-pull mechanism. The UPC polish provides a good, low-reflection connection suitable for many digital applications. It’s common on patch panels and various network devices.
-
E2000/APC (Angled Physical Contact): A premium connector known for its integrated protective shutter (protecting the ferrule from dust and scratches, and eyes from laser light) and secure push-pull latching mechanism. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish is crucial – the fiber end-face is polished at an 8-degree angle. This significantly reduces back reflection (light bouncing back towards the source), making it essential for analog signals (like CATV) and high-speed digital systems sensitive to return loss.
This duplex patch cord features two fibers bundled together, enabling simultaneous transmit and receive operations, perfect for standard network equipment links.
Engineered for Superior Performance and Reliability
This Syrotech patch cord is built to meet stringent performance requirements:
-
Excellent Optical Performance: Guaranteed low insertion loss (IL) of less than 0.3 dB minimizes signal weakening, while the high return loss (RL) of greater than 55 dB (primarily due to the APC connector) ensures minimal signal interference caused by reflections.
-
Premium Single Mode Fiber: Utilizes high-quality G.652.D compliant 9/125µm single mode fiber, ideal for high bandwidth and long-distance transmission capabilities within the network system.
-
Robust Duplex Cable: Features a durable 3.0mm outer jacket (typically yellow for single mode) protecting the two fiber strands, suitable for patching within racks and connecting equipment.
-
Wide Temperature Range: Designed to operate reliably in demanding environments, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 80°C and storage from -40°C to 85°C.
-
Factory Tested: Each cable is rigorously tested to ensure it meets or exceeds industry standards for optical performance before shipping.
Versatile Applications Across Industries
The unique SC/UPC to E2000/APC configuration makes this patch cord ideal for specific, often critical, applications:
-
Telecommunications: Connecting transmission equipment, distribution frames, or testing gear requiring high return loss performance.
-
CATV Networks: Linking headend equipment or optical nodes where minimizing reflection is critical for signal quality.
-
FTTH Deployments: Patching connections at central offices or distribution hubs involving E2000 interfaces.
-
Data Centers: High-speed network links sensitive to return loss.
-
Optical Fiber Sensors: Applications demanding precise and stable connections.
-
Testing Instruments: Reliable patching in lab environments for network measurement and characterization.
-
Wide Area Networks (WAN): Critical backbone infrastructure connections.
Scenario: Connecting a CATV Headend
Imagine needing to connect a new piece of CATV distribution equipment featuring secure E2000/APC ports back to an existing patch panel with standard SC/UPC interfaces. Using this Syrotech SC/UPC to E2000/APC duplex patch cord provides the perfect solution. The APC connector ensures the signal quality needed for analog video transmission, while the E2000 provides a secure, dust-protected connection at the equipment end. The SC/UPC connects seamlessly to the standard infrastructure.
