Descriptions
A Singlemode Duplex UPC LC to LC Fiber Optic Adapter is a device that connects two single-mode fiber optic cables, each terminated with LC UPC connectors. This adapter facilitates efficient data transmission in optical networks, primarily for long-distance applications.
Breakdown of the Components:
Singlemode: Single-mode fiber transmits light signals through a single path, which minimizes modal dispersion and allows for long-distance communication with low signal loss. It is commonly used in telecommunications and high-speed data applications.
Duplex: Duplex indicates that the adapter supports two fibers, allowing for bidirectional communication—one fiber for transmitting data and the other for receiving data.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): UPC refers to the type of polish on the connector’s end-face. UPC connectors have a flat, highly polished surface, which reduces signal reflection (return loss) and ensures low insertion loss, typically around 0.3 dB. While UPC connectors provide good performance, they are generally not as effective as APC connectors in minimizing return loss, making them suitable for applications where ultra-high precision is less critical.
LC Connector: LC (Lucent Connector) is a compact, small-form-factor connector that features a latch mechanism for secure connections. LC connectors are widely used in high-density applications, such as data centers and telecommunications, due to their space-saving design.
Main Features
- Low Insertion Loss: UPC polish allows for low insertion loss, maintaining signal integrity in single-mode applications.
- Duplex Configuration: Enables simultaneous bidirectional communication through two fibers, which is essential for many networking scenarios.
- LC Connector: The compact design of LC connectors allows for efficient use of space in fiber optic installations, accommodating more connections in smaller areas.
- Optimized for Long-Distance Applications: Suitable for long-distance transmission, single-mode fiber with UPC connectors is commonly used in telecom networks, WANs, and data center interconnects.
