Product Information

Specification

About:

The Opti-Core Fiber Optic Patch Cord with LC/SC Duplex connectors in OS1/OS2 specification is a high-quality cable designed for network connectivity. This patch cord is typically used in telecommunications and data centers for linking optical network devices. The LC (Lucent Connector) and SC (Subscriber Connector) ends ensure compatibility with a wide range of equipment. The OS1/OS2 classification refers to single-mode fibers, ideal for long-distance and high-bandwidth applications.

Also Known As:

• Connector Types
• Duplex Configuration
• OS1/OS2 Fiber Type
• Low Insertion Loss
• High Bandwidth Capacity
• Long-Distance Transmission

Common Applications:

• Data Centers: These patch cords are crucial in data centers for connecting servers, storage systems, and network equipment, facilitating high-speed data transfer and reliable connectivity.

• Telecommunications Networks: They are used in telecom infrastructures for high-capacity, long-distance communication links, supporting broadband and internet services.

• LAN (Local Area Network) Connectivity: Ideal for office and campus networks, they provide high bandwidth and low latency connections between computers and network devices.

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Installations: Used in delivering high-speed internet and multimedia services directly to residential users.

Standards:

• IEC Standards: It generally complies with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, which provide guidelines for fiber optic interconnecting devices and passive components.

• TIA/EIA Specifications: The patch cord likely follows the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA) specifications. These are standards specific to telecommunications cabling systems in North America.

• OS1/OS2 Classification: The OS1/OS2 classification indicates that the patch cord is designed for single-mode fiber applications. OS1 is typically used for indoor applications, whereas OS2 is suited for outdoor or long-haul communications.

Construction:

• Connectors: The patch cord uses high-quality LC and SC connectors, which are widely recognized for their reliability and low insertion loss.

• Cable Type: The cable is designed as a duplex, meaning it contains two fiber strands within a single cable jacket. This allows for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, which is essential in many network setups.

• Fiber Type: The patch cord uses single-mode fibers, indicated by OS1/OS2 designation. These fibers are optimized for long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss and are commonly used in telecommunications and high-speed data networks.

• Jacket Material: The outer jacket of the cable is typically made from durable materials like PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), offering protection against physical damage and reducing the risk of toxic smoke emission in case of fire.

Features:

• LC/SC Duplex Connectors: These connectors offer efficient and stable connectivity between devices, ensuring high-quality signal transmission.

• OS1/OS2 Compatibility: Suitable for both OS1 and OS2 applications, this patch cord can handle long-distance transmissions typically required in backbone, metropolitan, and access networks.

• High-Speed Data Transmission: The cable is designed for fast and reliable data transfer, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications.

• Low Insertion Loss: This feature ensures minimal signal loss during transmission, which is crucial for maintaining data integrity over long distances.

• Durability and Flexibility: The cord is built to withstand physical strain and environmental factors, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
