Descriptions
A Multimode Simplex SC UPC Fiber Optic Adapter is a connector designed to link two multimode fiber optic cables with SC UPC connectors, providing a reliable connection for short-distance data transmission.
Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
Multimode: Multimode fiber is used to transmit multiple light signals (or modes) simultaneously, usually for short-distance, high-bandwidth applications such as in data centers and LAN (Local Area Network) environments. It supports high data rates over shorter distances (up to 550 meters for 10 Gbps transmission with OM3 fiber).
Simplex: Simplex refers to a connection that involves a single fiber, handling unidirectional communication (data flows in one direction).
SC (Subscriber Connector or Standard Connector): SC is a type of fiber optic connector with a square design and a push-pull mechanism, commonly used in both multimode and single-mode fiber optic networks. It ensures a secure connection and is widely used due to its durability and ease of installation.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): UPC refers to the type of polishing on the connector’s end-face. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing produces a flat, highly polished surface, which minimizes the loss at the connection point by reducing signal reflection. UPC connectors are typically used in multimode fiber applications where low insertion loss (around 0.3 dB) is important, but return loss is less critical than in single-mode applications (typically around -55 dB for UPC).
Main Features
Low Insertion Loss: The UPC polish provides a smooth, flat fiber end, minimizing signal loss at the connection point, which is essential for maintaining signal integrity in multimode fiber networks.
Simplex Design: Supports unidirectional communication, ideal for applications where data is transmitted in only one direction through a single fiber.
SC Connector: Uses a push-pull mechanism, making it easy to install and remove, and well-suited for high-density fiber optic connections.
Optimized for Short-Distance Applications: Multimode fiber is typically used in environments requiring high-speed data transmission over shorter distances, such as in data centers, enterprise networks, and local area networks (LANs).
