Descriptions
A Multimode 50/125µm OM2 Simplex SC UPC 3mm Fiber Optic Patch Cord is a specific type of fiber optic cable used for data transmission, primarily in local area networks (LANs) and data centers. Here’s a breakdown of what each part means:
Multimode (MM)：This refers to the type of optical fiber. Multimode fibers have a larger core (compared to single-mode fibers), allowing multiple light modes to be transmitted. This is typically used for shorter distance transmissions (up to around 500 meters) with high bandwidth.
50/125µm：This refers to the dimensions of the fiber. The 50µm is the diameter of the core (the part that transmits light), and the 125µm refers to the diameter of the cladding (the protective outer layer that reflects light back into the core).
OM2：OM2 is a specific type of multimode fiber standard, optimized for high-speed data transmission. OM2 fibers are typically orange and are used for data transmission over shorter distances (up to 550 meters at 1 Gbps and around 150 meters at 10 Gbps).
Simplex ： A simplex cable has a single fiber strand inside it. This means that it can only transmit in one direction at a time, unlike duplex cables, which have two strands for simultaneous two-way transmission.
SC (Subscriber Connector) ： SC is a type of connector used to terminate the ends of the fiber optic cable. It is square-shaped and designed for quick push-pull installation. SC connectors are common in networking applications due to their low cost and ease of use.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) ：UPC refers to the type of polish applied to the end face of the fiber connector. UPC connectors have a flat end face with a slight curvature to reduce back reflection. They are commonly used for optical connections with low insertion loss and better performance than standard connectors.
3mm ： This refers to the outer diameter of the patch cord’s cable, providing some mechanical protection to the internal fibers.
Fiber Optic Patch Cord ：A patch cord is a short cable used to connect devices in a network, such as connecting a computer to a switch or patching together different networking devices.
Main Features
The main feature of a Multimode 50/125µm OM2 Simplex SC UPC 3mm Fiber Optic Patch Cord is its ability to transmit high-speed data over short to medium distances (up to 550 meters at 1 Gbps) using multimode fiber.
High Bandwidth for Short Distances: OM2 fiber can handle data rates up to 10 Gbps for shorter distances (typically up to 150 meters).
Cost-Effective: Multimode fiber is generally cheaper than single-mode for these short-range applications, making it ideal for LANs and data centers.
SC UPC Connector: Provides low insertion loss and good optical performance with minimal signal reflection due to its UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish.
Simplex Cable: Designed for single-direction transmission, commonly used for connecting devices in point-to-point applications.
Rugged 3mm Cable: Ensures durability and mechanical protection, making it suitable for environments where the cable might be handled frequently.
This patch cord is optimized for high-speed, short-range network connections, making it ideal for use in local area networks (LANs), data centers, and telecommunication rooms.
