SC/UPC 12-Core Fiber Pigtail

Engineered for high-density, high-performance optical connectivity, this 12-core single-mode fiber pigtail with SC/UPC connectors provides a reliable and efficient solution for critical network links in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise infrastructure.

Description

Principales caractéristiques et avantages

  • High-Density Design: The compact, square-shaped SC connector allows for efficient space utilization in crowded patch panels and network equipment, maximizing port density.

  • Superior Optical Performance: Featuring Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish, this pigtail delivers low insertion loss (typically <0.2 dB) and high return loss (>50 dB), ensuring optimal signal integrity for digital transmission.

  • Plug-and-Play Reliability: Each unit undergoes 100% factory testing for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face inspection, guaranteeing consistent performance and reducing deployment time.

  • Structured Connectivity: The 12-fiber configuration offers a clean, organized solution for connecting backbone cables to equipment, simplifying cable management and maintenance.

Questions et réponses professionnelles

Q1: What is the primary application for an SC/UPC pigtail vs. an SC/APC?
A : SC/UPC pigtails are the standard choice for most digital data transmission systems, including Ethernet (up to 100G), data center interconnects, and general telecommunication links where low insertion loss is key. SC/APC (angled polish) is specifically preferred for analog RF video transmission (CATV) and passive optical networks (PON) where minimizing back reflection is absolutely critical to prevent signal interference.

Q2: Is the SC connector still relevant compared to smaller LC connectors?
A : Absolutely. While LC dominates in ultra-high-density switch panels, the SC connector remains widely used and preferred for its robust design, excellent locking mechanism, and ease of handling. It is a common standard in ODFs (Optical Distribution Frames), many OLT/ONU devices, and legacy or mixed infrastructure where durability and proven performance are valued.

Q3: Can this 12-core pigtail be used for both indoor and outdoor installations?
A : The pigtail itself, with its LSZH jacket, is suitable for indoor use. For outdoor deployments, it must be placed within a sealed and protected enclosure or patch panel to guard against moisture, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. For direct outdoor runs, a separate outdoor-rated distribution cable is recommended.

Q4: What quality control steps ensure the low insertion loss claim?
A : Reputable manufacturers implement a multi-step process: 1) Interferometry to verify perfect UPC end-face geometry, 2) IL/RL Testing on every fiber channel using Tier-1 light sources and power meters, and 3) Visual inspection with a 400x microscope to rule out contaminants or defects before shipment.
