Seamlessly Connect Your Diverse Fiber Optic Equipment
In today’s complex network environments, you often encounter equipment with different fiber optic interfaces. How do you reliably connect a modern switch with LC-based SFP modules to an existing patch panel or device using the common SC standard? The solution is the Syrotech LC/PC to SC/PC Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord (FSMS-LCP-SCP-5M). This meticulously crafted 5-meter cable acts as the perfect bridge, ensuring seamless data flow between devices with differing connector needs.
Bridging the Gap: Understanding LC and SC Connections
-
LC (Lucent Connector): Known for its small form factor (SFF), the LC connector is widely used in high-density applications like SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules found in switches, servers, and routers. Its push-pull latching mechanism provides a secure connection.
-
SC (Subscriber Connector / Standard Connector): A slightly larger, push-pull connector known for its ease of use and reliability. Often found on patch panels, optical distribution frames (ODFs), wall outlets, and older network equipment or ONTs.
This patch cord features a standard LC/PC connector on one end and a standard SC/PC connector on the other, making it incredibly versatile for patching within racks or connecting nearby equipment. The “PC” stands for Physical Contact, indicating a standard flat end-face polish common for single-mode connections where ultra-high return loss isn’t the absolute priority (unlike APC).
Engineered for Reliable Performance
Syrotech patch cords are built with quality components to ensure minimal signal degradation and maximum uptime for your network:
-
High-Quality Connectors: Precision-engineered LC/PC and SC/PC connectors with ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fiber alignment, leading to low insertion loss (signal reduction) and stable performance.
-
Premium Single Mode Fiber (SMF): Utilizes standard G.652.D compliant 9/125µm single mode fiber, optimized for transmitting data over longer distances (within the context of the overall network system) and supporting high bandwidth requirements.
-
Simplex Construction: Features a single strand of fiber within the protective jacket. This is suitable for applications requiring one-way transmission or for Bi-Directional (BiDi) transceivers that transmit and receive on different wavelengths over a single fiber.
-
Durable Cabling: The 5-meter cable features a robust outer jacket (material typically LSZH or OFNR – verify if critical) protecting the delicate fiber core from physical stress during installation and operation. Proper strain relief on the connectors adds to longevity.
-
Factory Tested: Each Syrotech patch cord undergoes rigorous testing to meet industry standards for insertion loss and return loss, guaranteeing performance out of the box.
Common Applications and Use Cases
This LC to SC fiber jumper is indispensable in various networking scenarios:
-
Data Centers: Connecting servers or switches (using LC SFPs) directly to SC patch panels or older infrastructure.
-
Telecommunication Rooms: Linking equipment within racks, connecting ODFs to active devices.
-
FTTH/Premises Networks: Patching connections between Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) and distribution points or customer equipment with mismatched ports.
-
Testing and Lab Environments: Providing flexible and reliable connections for network testing and setup configurations.
-
Campus Networks: Connecting distribution frames or building entry points to local equipment.
