Core Advantage 1: Excellent Transmission Performance Metrics

Q: What are the performance specs of this patch cord? Is the loss high?

A: Performance is the sole measure of patch cord quality. OFSCN® standard fiber patch cords are manufactured with precision, ensuring efficient and stable signal transmission:

• Low Insertion Loss (IL): Minimizes signal energy loss at the connection point, ensuring maximum light power reaches the receiver.
• High Return Loss (RL): Reduces light signal interference reflected back toward the source. This is vital for guaranteeing system stability, especially in high-bandwidth and long-distance applications.

 

Core Advantage 2: Broad Compatibility and Flexible Customization

Q: My equipment has a unique interface/fiber type. Can OFSCN® meet my needs?

For customers using our OFSCN® FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors, this standard patch cord is the ideal connection between the FBG Interrogator and the FBG Sensor, ensuring the precision and stability of the entire sensing link.

💡 Quick Selection Guide (Common Questions Answered)

Customer Question	OFSCN® Recommendation & Answer
I need long-distance transmission.	We recommend Single-Mode Fiber (e.g., G.652D or G.657A) with FC/APC or LC/APC connectors.
I need to connect high-precision sensing equipment.	We highly recommend using APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors (e.g., FC/APC) to achieve extremely high return loss and eliminate interference.
My setup is high-density cabling.	We recommend using small-form-factor LC connectors and a 0.9mm/2.0mm cable diameter to save space.
My installation environment requires fire safety.	Be sure to select the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket type.
