BEYONDTECH LC to SC Fiber Patch Cable Single Mode Duplex - 1m (3.28ft) - 9/125um OS1 LSZH PureOptics Cable Series

Product Information

This LC to SC Single mode Duplex OS1 fiber patch cords operate at -20ºC to +70ºC and have a minimum installation bending radius of 5.0 cm and a minimum long term bending radius of 3 cm. Beyondtech high-quality LC to SC Fiber Optic Patch Cable LSZH Single mode 9/125 OS1 fiber is specially designed for fast Ethernet, Fiber Channel, Gigabit Ethernet Speeds, data center, premises, educational, LAN, SAN, commercial, 10GBASE-L (1310 nm), 10GBASE-E (1550 nm), 1000BASE-LX (1300 nm) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) applications. It supports video, data and voice services. Appeared in 1991, the SC has a good record over thirty years. Released in 2002, the LC is much younger. Notwithstanding, it’s speedily catching up in its favor due to its small size. Mating SC-LC using a hybrid adapter or cord

Typical insertion repeatability, the difference in insertion loss between one plugging and another, is 0.2dB.

Some other designs offer curing fixture and pre-assembly of LC connector ferrules prior to polishing, which improves throughput and eliminates accidental fiber breaks. The new designs also feature the simultaneous rotation of both ferrules to ensure that bare fibers are not being exposed at any time during polarity reversal. A comparison of SC and LC devices The table above shows that the SC has 1000 mating cycles, twice as many as LC. History and Reputation

Eventually, with the availability of LC-compatible transceivers and other active networking components, this smaller version of SC connectors began taking off in new fiber applications such as fiber to the home (FTTH). The smaller form factor, with a 1.25-mm ferrule, was also a huge benefit in high-connection-density environments like data centers and telecom switching centers.

All Pool Lengths

After having a basic understanding of both SC and LC connector, you may ask what are the differences and what do they mean to your implementation? The table below gives an overview of strengths and weaknesses. And generally speaking, the difference between LC and SC fiber optic connector lies in the size, the handling and the connector history, which will be discussed respectively in the following text. Hardened Fiber Optic Connectors ( HFOCs) and Hardened Fiber Optic Adapters ( HFOAs) are passive telecommunications components used in an outside plant environment. They provide drop connections to customers from fiber distribution networks. These components may be provided in pedestal closures, [note 1] [24] aerial and buried closures and terminals, or equipment located at customer premises such as a Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH) or an optical network terminal unit. Generally, the SC is cheaper than the LC, but the cost gap between them will gradually narrow with the economy of scale. Applications:

This SC to LC hybrid adapter is a mating sleeve is designed for connecting two fiber optic cables or connectors. The key innovation for LC was that the ferrule is half the size of the SC connector. If you do not know what a ferrule is, think of it as the structured end to a cable that forms the connector (trying for a broad definition here since ferrules are used outside of just optical cabling.) LC connectors utilize a latch to keep the connector in place.
