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

The FC/UPC to ST/UPC Single Mode Duplex (SM DX) is a high-performance interconnect designed for dual-fiber systems requiring maximum mechanical stability. This hybrid jumper bridges the gap between threaded FC interfaces and bayonet-style ST ports, providing a reliable full-duplex path for industrial automation, campus backbones, and legacy telecom upgrades.

Description

Built for precision and durability, this “Blue-to-Blue” duplex cable ensures high-accuracy alignment and robust physical security for mission-critical bidirectional data transmission.

Technical Performance Matrix

Our production adheres to the following rigorous technical standards to ensure consistency across large-scale project deployments:

Jacket Material LSZH (Yellow) Fire-safe, Low Smoke Zero Halogen safety

Performance Advantages for Infrastructure Projects

1. Dual-Metallic Locking Mechanism

  • Both the FC and ST connectors utilize nickel-plated metallic housings rather than plastic latches.

  • The FC threaded screw and the ST spring-loaded bayonet mount provide a vibration-proof connection.

  • This design is ideal for industrial environments and outdoor utility cabinets subject to mechanical stress.

2. High-Efficiency Duplex (DX) Design

  • The Duplex (DX) configuration allows for independent transmit (TX) and receive (RX) paths on two separate fiber strands.

  • This is essential for enterprise networking architectures that require full-duplex communication over long-haul OS2 Single Mode fiber.

3. Engineering-Grade Tensile Reliability

  • Rated at a tension strength of $\geq 200\text{N}$, these jumpers are built to survive the physical rigors of installation.

  • This high threshold ensures the glass core remains protected during intensive pulling through dense cable trays and vertical shafts.

4. Global Compliance & Safety

  • Our yellow jackets are manufactured from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material.

  • This complies with international building safety codes, ensuring no toxic halogen gases are emitted in the event of extreme heat.


Procurement & Wholesale Support

  • Quality Assurance: Every patch cord undergoes 100% factory testing for Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL) to ensure project reliability.

  • Project Documentation: We provide individual test reports and 3D interferometry verification to meet strict compliance requirements.

  • Wholesale Scalability: We maintain consistent inventory of standard lengths to ensure rapid lead times for high-volume procurement.

  • Custom Configuration: Flexible manufacturing is available for custom lengths, specialized labeling, and varying jacket diameters (2.0mm/3.0mm).
