· Corrosion-Proof Ferrules

You will see that our LC UPC to SC APC cable uses zirconia ceramic ferrules. The LC connector has a 1.25mm ferrule. Meanwhile, the SC side holds a 2.5mm part. These parts fight rust, thereby extending the lifespan. A thermal expansion coefficient of 10.6 x 10^-6/°C provides stable performance.

In addition, a modulus of elasticity of 210 GPa proves strong physical integrity. The ferrule’s concentricity error is under 1.0µm, assuring accurate fiber core alignment. Displaying a hardness of 1200 HV, these parts are very durable. They show an end-face geometry meeting industry rules. Each part offers a radius of curvature of 10-25mm.

· Precision Alignment Sleeves

This LC UPC to SC APC cable employs phosphor bronze alignment sleeves. These parts guarantee ideal connector mating, and these sleeves keep fiber cores in contact. You can count on low signal loss.

A sleeve withdrawal force of 2.9N is expected. Operating in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, each element has a split design. While alignment precision is within 0.2µm, the devices ensure insertion loss change stays under 0.1dB. They can withstand 1000 mating cycles.

Constructed with zirconia, the parts decrease wear. Thus, the SC connector has a retention force above 200N, avoiding accidental disconnection. The LC connector’s retention force measures 68N.

Advanced Specifications of LC-SC APC Fiber Optic Patch Cable!

OS2 Fiber Standard

This LC UPC to SC APC patch cord utilizes OS2 single-mode fiber. The OS2 type is made for long-range transmissions. You receive best results at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Although chromatic dispersion is under 3.5 ps/(nm*km) at 1310nm, the cable handles distances beyond 10 kilometers. Attenuation is under 0.4 dB/km. Also, this LC UPC to SC APC cable's polarization mode dispersion is at most 0.2 ps/sqrt(km). Core-cladding concentricity error measures 0.6µm. Cladding non-circularity is below 1%. Because the fiber cut-off wavelength measures 1260nm, the jacket color coding follows TIA-598-C. Maximum optical power handling is 500mW.
