LC plastic optical fiber patch cord is a cable assembly used to connect optical fiber devices or ports to achieve optical signal transmission. It has standardized LC connectors at both ends and uses plastic optical fiber as the transmission medium in the middle. Therefore, LC plastic optical fiber patch cords are often used in scenarios such as indoor short-distance data transmission, home networks, and local area networks in smart buildings. They are especially suitable for situations where installation convenience and cost are more sensitive and transmission distance requirements are not high.
Fiber Optic Characteristics
The plastic optical fiber used has the advantages of light weight, good flexibility, and strong impact resistance. It is easier to bend and wire than quartz optical fiber, and is suitable for use in some environments that require high wiring flexibility. However, the transmission loss of plastic optical fiber is relatively high, and the transmission distance is usually short. It is generally suitable for short-distance optical signal transmission, such as indoor local area networks, home networks, etc.
Product Features
It has high stability and good interchangeability. It can still maintain stable performance after multiple plugging and unplugging, and the consistency and reliability of each connection are high. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of low insertion loss and high reliability, which can ensure that the energy loss of optical signals during transmission is small and the quality of signal transmission is guaranteed. In addition, LC plastic optical fiber jumpers are usually available in a variety of colors, which is convenient for distinction and identification during the wiring process.
Application Scenarios
It is mainly used for the connection of optical fiber communication equipment, such as switches, routers, optical modules, etc. In network environments such as data centers, enterprise LANs, and campus networks, it is often used for short-distance interconnection between devices to achieve high-speed data transmission. It can also be used in some places that require high wiring flexibility, such as smart homes, smart buildings, etc., to facilitate optical fiber wiring and equipment connection.
