Descriptions
A Multimode OM2 Simplex FC UPC 3mm Fiber Optic Pigtail is a type of fiber optic cable assembly used primarily in telecommunications and data transmission applications.
Here’s a breakdown of what each part of the term means:
Multimode Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable allows multiple light modes or rays to travel simultaneously through the core. It is typically used for shorter-distance communication due to higher attenuation (signal loss) over longer distances compared to single-mode fiber.
OM2: Stands for "Optical Multimode 2," which is a classification of multimode fiber with a core size of 50 microns. OM2 fiber is commonly used for distances up to 500 meters at 850 nm wavelength.
Simplex means the cable consists of a single fiber, allowing data transmission in one direction. This is different from duplex, which would have two fibers for bidirectional communication.
FC: Refers to the connector type. The FC (Ferrule Connector) is a type of fiber optic connector with a threaded coupling mechanism, known for its durability and secure connections.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): This refers to the connector's polish type, which provides a low insertion loss and a highly polished surface, reducing signal reflection at the interface.
3mm: This indicates the outer diameter of the fiber optic cable, which is 3 millimeters. This thickness provides durability and protection to the cable, especially in harsh environments.
Fiber Optic Pigtail: A pigtail is a short length of fiber optic cable, typically with a connector on one end and exposed fiber on the other. It is used to splice the fiber to a longer optical fiber or to connect it to equipment, such as patch panels or optical network units (ONUs).
Main Features
The main features of a Multimode OM2 Simplex FC UPC 3mm Fiber Optic Pigtail include:
High-Speed Data Transmission Over Short Distances: Multimode OM2 fiber is optimized for high-speed data transmission, typically up to 10 Gbps, over relatively short distances (up to 500 meters at 850 nm). It's ideal for LAN (Local Area Network) and data center applications.
Single Fiber (Simplex): The simplex design means it has a single fiber core for unidirectional communication, simplifying the installation and making it suitable for situations where only one-way transmission is needed.
UPC Polish: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish reduces signal reflection, ensuring lower insertion loss and better signal quality. This makes it reliable for high-performance networks.
Ease of Splicing and Integration: As a fiber optic pigtail, it is designed to be easily spliced onto other fiber optic cables or connected to networking equipment. This flexibility simplifies the process of extending a fiber network.
3mm Outer Diameter: The 3mm thickness provides added protection to the fiber core, making the cable more durable and resistant to physical damage, which is important in environments with higher wear and tear.
Cost-Effective for Shorter Networks: Multimode fiber, especially OM2, is more affordable than single-mode fiber for shorter distances, making it a cost-effective choice for local networking, data centers, or enterprise-level installations.
Summary: The primary feature of this fiber optic pigtail is its ability to deliver reliable, high-speed data transmission over short distances with a durable, secure connection, thanks to the FC UPC connector and the protection of the 3mm cable. Its ease of integration and cost-effectiveness make it ideal for LANs, data centers, and enterprise networks.
