FC/UPC–LC/UPC Armoured Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord

The FC/UPC–LC/UPC Armoured fiber patch cord is engineered for carrier-grade connectivity where mechanical security, low optical loss, and field durability are all required. Featuring a threaded FC connector on one end and a high-density LC connector on the other, combined with a metal-armoured cable structure, this jumper is ideal for telecom networks, outdoor cabinets, data center cross-connects, and industrial fiber systems.

As a factory manufacturer and wholesale exporter, we supply this model for OEM/ODM projects, system integrators, distributors, and bulk sourcing worldwide.

Description

Why FC to LC with Armoured Design?

The FC connector provides screw-lock stability, preventing micro-movement that can cause optical fluctuation—critical for test equipment, telecom racks, and carrier links.
The LC connector supports high-density patching and direct connection to SFP+, QSFP, and modern transceivers.

The armoured tube protects the fiber from:

  • Crushing and pulling

  • Rodent bites

  • Sharp bending

  • Harsh installation environments

This makes the FC–LC armoured patch cord perfect for outdoor routing, cable trays, and industrial enclosures.
