Descriptions
A Multimode OM3 Duplex SC UPC Fiber Optic Adapter is a device used to connect two duplex multimode OM3 fiber optic cables with SC UPC connectors. It ensures stable, high-performance connections with minimal signal loss in fiber optic communication networks.
Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
Multimode : Refers to fiber optic cables designed to carry multiple light signals simultaneously, usually over short distances. Multimode fiber is commonly used in high-speed data transmission applications such as data centers and LANs.
OM3: A specific grade of multimode fiber optimized for 850 nm wavelength transmission, supporting 10 Gbps transmission up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps over shorter distances.
Duplex: means the adapter is designed for two fibers, allowing for bidirectional communication (data can travel in both directions, one fiber for transmitting and one for receiving).
SC (Subscriber Connector or Standard Connector): SC refers to the connector type, which has a square, snap-in design. It’s widely used in fiber optic networks due to its easy, push-pull mechanism for quick connections and secure fitting.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): UPC indicates the type of polishing applied to the connector’s end-face. It provides an ultra-smooth flat surface that minimizes reflection and signal loss, ensuring better performance in multimode fiber systems.
Main Features
- High Bandwidth and Speed: Supports high-speed data transmission, such as 10 Gbps up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gbps over shorter distances.
- Low Insertion Loss: UPC polishing ensures low loss at the connection point, maintaining high signal integrity.
- Duplex Connection: Allows for simultaneous bi-directional communication (transmission and reception) via two fibers.
- SC Connector: Simple push-pull design for easy installation and removal.
- Optimized for Short Distances: OM3 multimode fiber is used for short-distance, high-bandwidth applications such as in data centers and enterprise networks.
