LC/APC to LC/APC Single Mode Duplex (SM DX) patch cord

The LC/APC to LC/APC Single Mode Duplex (SM DX) patch cord is a high-density solution engineered for modern network architectures requiring both high port density and superior reflection management. Featuring the “Green-to-Green” APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish, this duplex jumper is a critical component for FTTH, PON, and high-speed data center environments where signal purity is paramount.

Designed for high-performance bidirectional data transmission, this dual-fiber cable ensures maximum efficiency in congested cabling environments.

Description

Performance Advantages for Infrastructure Projects

1. High-Density SFF Design

  • The LC connector’s compact 1.25mm ferrule allows for double the fiber density in standard 1U patch panels compared to SC connectors.

  • This Small Form Factor (SFF) is essential for maximizing rack space in enterprise-grade data centers.

2. Elite Reflection Management (APC Polish)

  • The 8-degree angled physical contact (APC) ensures a return loss of $\geq 60\text{dB}$.

  • This minimizes back-reflection, protecting high-power laser sources and maintaining signal integrity in sensitive CATV and PON networks.

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 in dense environments.

  • This ensures long-term reliability even when cables are routed through crowded trays or 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 minimal smoke and no toxic halogen emissions in case of fire.


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).
