5-Meter Cable for Flexible Deployment
The 5-meter length strikes a perfect balance between reach and cable management, offering flexibility without unnecessary slack. It is particularly effective for:
Inter-rack connections in data centers
Linkages between optical distribution frames (ODFs) and active devices
Setup in medium-scale residential or commercial network environments
Optic Patch Cord (SC/UPC) – 5 Meter
The Optic Patch Cord (SC/UPC) – 5 Meter is a high-performance, single-mode fiber optic jumper designed for seamless and stable connections in high-speed network environments. Engineered for precision, speed, and durability, this patch cord is ideal for use in FTTH (Fiber to the Home), CATV systems, data centers, telecommunication networks, and enterprise LAN applications.
With a 5-meter cable length and SC/UPC connectors on both ends, it offers optimal connectivity, minimal signal loss, and outstanding mechanical reliability, making it a top choice for network professionals.
High-Precision SC/UPC Connectors
The patch cord features SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors on both ends, offering a flat polished surface that provides excellent performance in terms of low insertion loss and moderate return loss. SC/UPC connectors are particularly suitable for short-distance transmission and are widely used in telecom, broadband, and testing setups where reflection is not a significant concern.
The SC connector design is known for its snap-in mechanism, ensuring secure and reliable mating every time. These connectors are factory polished and pre-terminated to deliver consistent quality and plug-and-play usability.
