LC UPC 3.0mm Duplex Singlemode Fiber Optic Connector

The LC UPC 3.0mm Duplex Singlemode Fiber Optic Connector is designed for fiber links that must stay stable for years, not just inside a rack but across floors, corridors and backbone frames.
Where patch cords are routed through cable trays, vertical shafts or distribution cabinets, a thicker and more protective jacket becomes essential.

This 3.0mm duplex LC connector combines low-loss UPC polishing with a reinforced cable structure, creating a reliable connection between optical distribution frames, switches and access equipment.

Description

3.0mm duplex — built for real cabling paths

Cable type Where it performs best
2.0mm Short jumpers at device ports
3.0mm Building backbones, floor-to-floor links, ODF routing

The thicker jacket absorbs pulling forces and reduces micro-bending when fibers are routed through long paths.


Optical transmission characteristics

Parameter Typical value
Fiber Single-mode 9/125 µm
Polish type UPC
Insertion loss ≤ 0.30 dB
Return loss ≥ 50 dB
Operating wavelengths 1310 / 1550 nm
Mating durability ≥ 1000 cycles

These values support Ethernet, SDH, metro and access networks with long-term signal stability.


Duplex LC structure

Two fibers are fixed inside one LC duplex housing, ensuring correct Tx/Rx orientation even when cables are moved or serviced.

Construction Benefit
1.25mm ceramic ferrules Precise core alignment
UPC polished end faces Low reflection
Duplex LC clip Maintains polarity
Thick 3.0mm jacket Protects against tension

Professional Q&A

When should I choose 3.0mm instead of 2.0mm?
When the jumper runs through cable trays, risers, or backbone frames where it may be bent or pulled.

Is this compatible with all LC UPC adapters?
Yes. The LC interface is standard and fits all LC UPC panels and transceivers.

Can this be used for PON systems?
Yes, but for RF overlay or reflection-sensitive PON systems, LC APC is recommended instead.
