FC/UPC to FC/UPC Single Mode Duplex (SM DX) patch cord

The FC/UPC to FC/UPC Single Mode Duplex (SM DX) patch cord is a high-performance interconnect designed for dual-fiber transmission in environments requiring maximum mechanical stability. Featuring the classic threaded metallic coupling, this duplex configuration is the professional standard for fiber optic sensors, telecommunication backbones, and laboratory test beds where constant physical contact must be maintained despite vibration or movement.

Engineered to meet 2026 infrastructure demands, this “Blue-to-Blue” dual-core jumper provides the reliability required for full-duplex data paths in critical network sectors.

Description

Bandwidth $\pm 40\text{nm}$ Stable performance across spectral shifts
Jacket Material LSZH (Yellow) Fire-safe, Low Smoke Zero Halogen compliance

Performance Advantages for Large-Scale Deployment

1. Vibration-Proof Screw-On Mechanism

The FC (Ferrule Connector) utilizes a nickel-plated metallic housing with a threaded coupling. Unlike plastic snap-in latches, the FC mechanism ensures that the fiber end-faces remain in constant, pressurized contact, making it the ideal choice for environments subject to mechanical stress or thermal expansion.

2. Duplex (DX) Efficiency for High-Speed Links

The Duplex (DX) configuration allows for simultaneous, two-way data transmission. This is a critical requirement for traditional 1G, 10G, and 40G Ethernet architectures that rely on separate strands for transmitting and receiving, simplifying cable management in high-density racks.

3. Industrial-Grade Tensile Reliability

With a tension strength rating of $\geq 200\text{N}$, these jumpers are built to survive the physical rigors of being pulled through industrial conduits and vertical shafts. This durability reduces the risk of glass core breakage during the installation phase of large-scale projects.

4. Global Safety & LSZH Compliance

Our yellow jackets are manufactured from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) materials. This ensures the product meets international fire safety regulations for commercial and government buildings, as it emits no toxic halogen gases in the event of extreme heat.


Procurement & Project Support

  • Quality Assurance: Every single patch cord is 100% factory tested for Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL). Individual test reports and 3D interferometry verification can be provided to support your project compliance documentation.

  • Wholesale Scalability: We maintain a consistent inventory of standard lengths (1m, 2m, 3m, 5m) to ensure rapid lead times for high-volume procurement and urgent network maintenance.

  • Custom Configuration: We offer flexible manufacturing for specific wholesale requirements, including custom lengths, 2.0mm/3.0mm jacket diameters, and specialized labeling for enterprise branding.
