Description
Optimized for multimode fiber systems
Multimode fiber is the standard choice for short-reach, high-speed optical links in enterprise and cloud networks.
| Fiber Type | Typical Wavelength | Main Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Multimode (50/125µm) | 850 nm / 1300 nm | Data centers, LAN, SAN, enterprise backbones |
The LC UPC 0.9mm connector supports OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5 fiber grades.
Optical specifications
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Fiber Type | Multimode 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm |
| Polish Type | UPC |
| Insertion Loss | ≤ 0.30 dB |
| Return Loss | ≥ 35 dB |
| Operating Wavelengths | 850 / 1300 nm |
| Repeatability | ≤ 0.1 dB |
| Mating Durability | ≥ 1000 cycles |
These values meet the requirements for 10G, 25G, 40G and short-reach 100G optical links.
Mechanical design
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Connector Type | LC Simplex |
| Cable Diameter | 0.9mm |
| Ferrule | 1.25mm zirconia ceramic |
| Latch | LC push-pull |
| Boot | Compact pigtail boot |

Professional Q&A
Q1: Is this connector suitable for OM3, OM4 and OM5 fiber?
Yes. The LC UPC 0.9mm multimode connector works with all standard multimode grades, including OM3, OM4 and OM5.
Q2: Can it be used to make patch cords?
No. This connector is designed for 0.9mm pigtails and must be fusion-spliced to a 2.0mm or 3.0mm cable to form a patch cord.
Q3: What is the advantage of UPC polishing for multimode?
UPC provides low insertion loss and stable contact, which is ideal for short-reach, high-speed multimode links.
