LC patch cords supplied with a short boot are ideal for high density applications with tight space requirements. The connector length from tip to boot assembly is only 40mm, compared to 66mm for standard LC 40% shorter!Our patch cords have the added benefit of being supplied with reduced bend sensitivity ITU-T G657 singlemode optical fibre which exhibit much lower optical power loss under bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling.Our LC Short boot patch cords are designed to meet IEC, EN and Telcordia GR 326 requirements.

Uniboot Patch CordsFor Data Centres

Standard Uniboot

As the networking environment of today becomes increasingly dependent on high speed and high density solutions, effective cable management is a real issue. The key concern is how to manage more cable in a smaller amount of space. Our uniboot fibre patch cord reduces cable management space by 50% compared to standard patch cords. The body of the connector also prevents users from altering the polarity of the patch cord. The patch cord utilises a special round duplex cable that allows duplex transmission within a single 3mm cable. As a result of these unique features our uniboot patch cord offers improved airflow and visibility of equipment within a high density network environment.Our uniboot patch cord is available in a wide variety of cable styles including LSZH, Plenum and Riser.

Full duplex in a single 3mm cableAvailable in OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OS1/OS2 cabled fibre typesAvailable with LSZH, Plenum and riser rated cableCost effectiveSave 50% of space in cabinets and cable ways Protects network polarity

Armoured Patch CordsFor Specialist Applications

Fibre Specification

Description

Features

Armoured patch cords are used in customer premises, central offices and in harsh environments. These patch cords provide flexible interconnection to active equipment, passive optical devices and cross-connects. Our armoured patch cords are constructed with an helical stainless steel tape over a buffered fibre surrounded by a layer of aramid and stainless steel mesh with an outer jacket. Our patch cords are terminated with our standard range of connectors, all quality tested to meet our own and international standards.

Mode Conditioning Patch CordsFor Specialist Applications

Description

Features & Benefits

Increased transmission bandwidth by as much as 4 times Reduced modal noiseLow insertion loss (< 1dB)Easy installation Various connector options

Our Mode Conditioning Patchcords provide an effective launch platform for 1310 nm Laser switches being used in multimode cabling systems.

Mode conditioned patchcords can allow a much higher operational bandwidth by precisely aligning a single mode termination at the laser transmitter and providing an off-centre launch into the multimode fibre core. This is essential for networks using legacy 62.5/125 and 50/125 multimode optical fibre and may be specified for current multimode networks depending upon the system requirements.
