Descriptions
A Single Mode Simplex SC UPC Fiber Optic Adapter is a connector used to join two single-mode fiber optic cables with SC UPC connectors, providing a reliable, low-loss connection primarily used in long-distance and high-speed communication networks.
Here's a detailed breakdown of the key components:
Single Mode: Single-mode fiber is designed to carry light signals over a single path (mode), allowing for long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss. Single-mode fibers are typically used in telecommunications and long-range data links.
Simplex: Simplex refers to a connection that involves only one fiber, supporting unidirectional communication (data flows in one direction). Simplex adapters are used when a single core is sufficient for the application.
SC (Subscriber Connector or Standard Connector): SC refers to the connector type, which has a square design and a push-pull mechanism for easy, secure insertion. SC connectors are commonly used in fiber optic networks due to their reliability and ease of use.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): UPC indicates the type of polish applied to the connector’s end-face. In UPC connectors, the fiber end is polished to a flat, ultra-smooth surface, reducing signal reflection (but not as effectively as APC). UPC connectors are used in applications where return loss is less of a concern compared to APC (e.g., certain data and telecom networks).
UPC connectors provide good performance with low insertion loss and acceptable return loss (typically around -50 dB), making them suitable for applications where ultra-high precision is not critical.
Main Features
Low Insertion and Return Loss: The APC connector's angled design ensures very low signal reflection and high return loss (typically -65 dB or better), which is important in long-distance networks.
Simplex Design: Supports unidirectional communication through a single fiber, making it suitable for specific applications like certain telecom setups and optical distribution networks.
SC Connector: Simple and durable push-pull mechanism for easy insertion and removal in high-density environments.
Optimized for Long-Distance Transmission: Single-mode fiber is optimized for long-distance data transmission, often exceeding 10 km, making this adapter ideal for telecommunications, internet service providers (ISP), and high-precision optical networks.
