High-Performance Connections for Reflection-Sensitive Networks
In many advanced fiber optic systems, particularly those carrying analog signals like CATV or very high-speed digital data, controlling signal reflections is paramount. The Syrotech SC/APC to SC/APC Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord is specifically engineered for these environments. Featuring Angled Physical Contact (APC) connectors on both ends, distinguishable by their green color, this patch cord minimizes back reflections, ensuring maximum signal integrity and network stability.
Why SC/APC Connectors Matter
While standard connectors (like SC/UPC) offer good performance, APC connectors take it a step further for demanding applications:
-
Angled Polish: The fiber end-face within the SC/APC connector is precision-polished at an 8-degree angle. This subtle angle prevents light that reflects at the connection point from traveling back down the fiber towards the source.
-
Exceptional Return Loss: By directing reflections out of the fiber core, APC connectors achieve a very high return loss (RL), typically exceeding 60dB. This is crucial for preventing interference and signal degradation in sensitive systems.
-
SC Housing: The connectors utilize the reliable and widely adopted SC (Subscriber Connector) push-pull housing, ensuring easy and secure connections.
This duplex patch cord contains two single mode fibers, typically in a zipcord style, allowing for simultaneous transmission and reception between network devices.
Engineered for Reliability
Syrotech patch cords are built to provide consistent, high-quality performance:
-
Premium Single Mode Fiber: Constructed with standard G.652.D 9/125µm single mode fiber, optimized for high bandwidth and efficient data transmission over distance within telecom standards.
-
Low Insertion Loss: Precision connector manufacturing ensures minimal signal power loss when the cable is inserted, typically less than 0.3dB, preserving signal strength.
-
Durable Construction: Features a robust yellow outer jacket (standard color for single mode) protecting the fibers during installation and operation. The material is typically PVC or LSZH for safety and durability.
-
Factory Tested: Cables are tested to meet industry standards for optical performance, ensuring reliability right out of the package.
-
Convenient Lengths: Available in standard 3-meter and 5-meter lengths, suitable for common patching needs within racks or between nearby equipment.
Ideal Applications
The high return loss performance makes this SC/APC to SC/APC cable essential for:
-
Telecommunication Networks: Connecting equipment in central offices, headends, or distribution hubs where APC interfaces are specified.
-
CATV (Community Antenna Television): Critical for maintaining signal quality in analog and digital video distribution networks sensitive to reflections.
-
FTTx (Fiber to the x): Used in Passive Optical Network (PON) deployments, including FTTH, often specified by service providers.
-
Data Centers: Connecting high-speed transmission equipment where minimizing return loss is important for stable operation.
-
Test and Measurement: Providing reliable, high-performance connections in laboratory and field testing environments.
