LC to FC Armored Fiber Optic Patch Cord

An LC to FC armored fiber optic patch cord is a ruggedized fiber cable with LC and FC connectors, designed for high-performance, durable connections in harsh environments.

Overview

An L

C to FC armored fiber optic patch cord is a fiber jumper that connects devices with LC and FC ports, providing reliable optical transmission. The armored design incorporates a stainless steel tube or metal armor around the fiber, offering superior protection against physical damage, rodents, moisture, dust, and other environmental hazards. These cables are commonly used in FTTH networks, telecom, and enterprise fiber optic systems.

Key Features

Connectors: LC connector on one end and FC connector on the other, compatible with singlemode (9/125 µm) or multimode fibers. Durability: Stainless steel armor provides high tensile strength, resistance to bending, and protection against external factors. Flexibility: Despite the armor, the cable maintains a minimum bend radius of about 30mm, making installation easier in tight spaces.

Performance: Low insertion loss and high return loss ensure stable optical transmission even in challenging environments. Customization: Available in various lengths (1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, etc.), fiber types, and connector polishing options (PC, UPC, APC) to suit specific network requirements.

Applications

Harsh environments: Ideal for areas with dust, oil, gas, moisture, or rodent exposure.

Telecom and FTT

H networks: Connects optical equipment, distribution boxes, and patch panels. Industrial and outdoor installations: Provides long-term reliability where standard patch cords may fail.

Installation and Availability

Armored L

C to FC patch cords are lightweight and flexible, allowing easy routing and installation. Sample orders are typically available within 3–5 days, while bulk or OEM orders may take 1–4 weeks depending on quantity and customization. Shipping is commonly handled via DHL, UPS, FedEx, or TNT.

This type of patch cord is ideal for users seeking robust, high-performance fiber connections that can withstand mechanical stress and environmental challenges while maintaining excellent optical performance.
