    C-LIGHT FC SM Patch Cord is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for stable and reliable optical interconnections. It uses threaded FC connectors to provide a secure mating structure and supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm transmission. With low insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB and high return loss of ≥50 dB, it is suitable for telecom networks, data centers, testing and measurement systems, and industrial fiber applications.

    Key Features of FC SM Patch Cord

    Threaded FC Connector

    The threaded FC connector provides a secure and stable connection, making the patch cord suitable for applications where connector retention and connection reliability are important.

    Single-Mode Fiber Transmission

    The patch cord supports single-mode fiber configurations for reliable optical transmission at commonly used 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.

    Low Insertion Loss

    With insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB, the patch cord helps minimize optical power loss across the connection and maintain efficient link performance.

    High Return Loss

    The FC SM Patch Cord provides return loss of ≥50 dB, helping reduce reflected optical power in single-mode fiber links.

    UPC and APC Options

    Different connector end-face configurations are available, including FC/UPC-FC/UPC, FC/APC-FC/UPC, and FC/APC-FC/APC to match different optical network requirements.

    Multiple Cable Constructions

    Available cable options include 0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm configurations with PVC, OFNR, OFNP, or LSZH jacket materials depending on the selected model.

    FC SM Patch Cord Configurations

    FC/UPC-FC/UPC

    This configuration uses UPC-polished FC connectors on both ends and is available with single-core or dual-core fiber constructions for standard single-mode interconnection requirements.

    FC/APC-FC/UPC

    The hybrid APC-to-UPC configuration provides a practical connection option when equipment or fiber distribution components use different connector polishing types.

    FC/APC-FC/APC

    APC connectors on both ends are available for applications requiring APC-to-APC single-mode fiber connections and controlled optical reflections.

    Fiber and Jacket Options

    Supported fiber types include G652D, G657A1, G657A2, G655, G657B3, and SMF28e, with different jacket materials available for specific installation environments.

    Applications

    Telecom Networks

    FC SM Patch Cords can be used for optical connections between transmission equipment, fiber distribution systems, and other telecom network components.

    Data Center Fiber Links

    The patch cord provides a reliable fiber interconnection option for equipment rooms, optical distribution areas, and structured fiber cabling systems.

    Testing and Measurement

    FC connectors are widely suited to fiber testing environments where secure connections and repeatable optical measurements are required.

    Industrial Fiber Systems

    Selected cable constructions can be used in industrial communication systems where stable fiber connections and appropriate jacket protection are required.

    How to Choose the Right FC SM Patch Cord

    Selection should consider connector polishing type, fiber type, cable diameter, core configuration, jacket material, and installation environment. FC/UPC or FC/APC should be selected according to the mating equipment, while 0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm cable constructions provide flexibility for different routing and protection requirements. PVC, OFNR, OFNP, and LSZH options can be selected according to application and cabling requirements.
