How to Choose a Data Center Grade LC-LC Fiber?

Fiber optic patch cords are widely used as a data transmission medium in data center network cabling systems. This article will take data center grade LC-LC fiber optic patch cords as an example to explain how to choose the right fiber optic patch cord.

Data Center Requirements for Fiber Optic Patch Cords

(1) In recent years, the data center’s bandwidth requirements for network transmission systems have been increasing, which also makes the performance of fiber optic patch cords continue to strengthen, according to different needs, the type has been increasing, such as: LC ultra-low insertion loss single-mode fiber optic patch cord, LC ultra-low insertion loss multimode fiber optic patch cord, LC one-tube dual-core fiber optic patch cord, LC bend insensitive fiber optic patch cord, etc.

(2) Ultra-low insertion loss single-mode fiber optic patch cord has longer transmission distance than ultra-low insertion loss multimode fiber optic patch cord, ultra-low insertion loss multimode fiber optic patch cord has lower cost than ultra-low insertion loss multimode fiber optic patch cord, one-tube dual-core fiber optic patch cord maximizes space utilization, and bend insensitive fiber optic patch cord has the strongest anti-interference capability.

(3) different LC fiber patch cords to meet the different needs of data centers, the current classification of LC fiber patch cords can meet most of the requirements of data centers, it can be said that in the data center LC-LC fiber patch cords have a great advantage.

Advantages of LC-LC Fiber Optic Patch Cords

(1) compared with other interfaces of fiber optic patch cords, LC fiber optic patch cord interface in most environments can show excellent performance, can be applied to most environments, so in the use of a great convenience to bring.

(2) From the above detailed classification and applicability can be seen in the design and development, LC fiber patch cord is constantly improving its performance, such as: ultra-low insertion loss, enhance the use of space, simplify the polarity conversion process, reduce sensitivity, etc., and continue to provide the best solution for data center high-density applications.

Data Center Grade LC-LC Fiber Optic Patchcord Solutions

(1) LC ultra-low insertion loss fiber patch cable
LC ultra-low insertion loss fiber optic patch cable has single-mode and multimode, Class B connectors can ensure ultra-low insertion loss, the best return loss, effectively reduce the error code rate, to ensure the reliability of transmission.

(2) LC one-tube twin-core fiber optic patchcord
One-tube dual core fiber optic patch cable allows bi-directional transmission in a single fiber, compared to conventional patch cables, more time and cost saving, more flexible management and easier wiring when performing fiber optic cabling, its unique design, to meet the high density applications data center interconnection and cross-connection, for private networks and internal installation provides the best solution. The FS One-Tube Duplex Patchcord features a special “round duplex” patch cord that provides optimal insertion loss and redirection loss to ensure transmission stability. It is a unique modification of traditional patch cords, which allows flexible cabling while saving cabling space.

(3) LC bend insensitive fiber optic patch cords
LC bend insensitive fiber optic patch cable has low loss, high transmission rate characteristics, in the long wavelength section bend attachment attenuation is very small, even if the bend radius in 7.5mm, 1625nm window additional loss is only 0.8dB, fully able to meet the special requirements of small size optical devices and high density applications on the bending performance. The bend-insensitive fiber optic patchcord is designed with grooves to reduce fiber loss when the cable is bent. The quality, mechanical and optical properties of the product are the same as those of conventional fiber optic patch cords, with the added feature of maintaining optical performance when the cable is bent.

How to Choose LC-LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable for Data Center Level?

(1) According to the scenario
To fully consider future growth requirements and allow sufficient spare space for expansion, it is better to choose LC-LC ultra-low insertion loss single-mode fiber patch cords for LC-LC fiber patch cords. The following are data center cabling solutions.


(2) Based on budget
Depending on budget and future growth requirements, LC-LC multimode OM3 bend insensitive fiber patch cords are the most suitable. More time and cost savings when performing fiber optic cabling, more flexible management and easier cabling its unique design to meet the interconnection and cross-connection of data centers for high density applications, providing the best solution for private networks and internal installations.

Summary

This article details the advantages of data center grade LC-LC fiber optic patch cables and how to choose them. We hope this will help you to deploy a more secure and stable data center grade fiber optic cabling system and bring you higher benefits.
