High-Speed, Reliable Connections: The Syrotech LC/UPC to LC/UPC Duplex Patch Cord
In the heart of modern data centers, telecommunication rooms, and high-performance enterprise networks, dependable fiber optic connectivity is non-negotiable. The Syrotech LC/UPC to LC/UPC Single-Mode Duplex Patch Cord (3 Meter) is engineered to provide that critical, high-quality link between your essential network equipment, ensuring seamless data flow and maximum uptime.
Understanding LC/UPC Connectors: The Data Center Standard
This patch cord features LC connectors on both ends, a staple in today’s high-density environments:
-
LC (Lucent Connector): A Small Form Factor (SFF) connector prized for its compact size, allowing for more ports in a limited space (like on switches and patch panels). It uses a secure latching mechanism similar to an RJ45 connector.
-
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): This refers to the high-quality end-face polish on the fiber ferrule inside the connector. The UPC polish ensures excellent physical contact between mated connectors, minimizing back reflections and delivering low insertion loss – ideal for high-speed digital data transmission.
The duplex configuration means the cable contains two separate fiber strands, typically bound together (zipcord style), allowing for simultaneous transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) of data, which is standard for most network equipment links like switch-to-switch or server-to-switch connections.
Built for Performance and Durability
Syrotech constructs these patch cords using quality materials and processes to ensure reliability:
-
Premium Single Mode Fiber (SMF): Utilizes standard G.652.D 9/125µm single mode fiber, designed for high bandwidth and capable of supporting long-distance transmission standards within larger network systems.
-
Low Insertion Loss: Precision ceramic ferrules within the LC/UPC connectors ensure accurate alignment of the fiber cores, minimizing the amount of signal lost when the connection is made (typically ≤ 0.3dB).
-
Consistent Return Loss: The UPC polish provides good return loss performance (typically ≥ 50dB), preventing excessive signal reflections that can interfere with transmission.
-
Robust Cabling: The 3-meter duplex cable is protected by a durable outer jacket (typically yellow for SMF, with PVC or LSZH material), safeguarding the delicate fibers from physical stress during installation and routing within racks or cabinets.
-
Factory Tested: Each patch cord undergoes quality testing to ensure it meets industry standards for optical performance, giving you confidence in its reliability.
Ideal Applications for LC-LC Connectivity
This 3-meter LC/UPC duplex patch cord is a versatile workhorse in many scenarios:
-
Data Center Interconnects: Connecting servers equipped with SFP/SFP+ adapters to Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches.
-
Switch-to-Switch Links: Patching between network switches within the same or adjacent racks.
-
Connecting to Patch Panels: Linking active equipment ports (switches, routers) to structured cabling infrastructure via fiber patch panels.
-
Storage Area Networks (SANs): Connecting Fiber Channel switches and storage devices.
-
Telecommunication Equipment: Linking transmission gear, OLTs, and distribution frames using LC interfaces.
Scenario: Upgrading Server Connections
Imagine installing new servers with 10GbE SFP+ network adapters in a rack. You need to connect them to the SFP+ ports on your network switch located in the same rack. The Syrotech 3-meter LC/UPC to LC/UPC Duplex Patch Cord is the perfect length and type for this task, providing a reliable, high-speed connection directly between the server’s SFP+ module and the switch’s SFP+ module.
