What are FC cables?
Fibre Channel
- Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed data transfer protocol providing in-order, lossless delivery of raw block data.
- Fibre Channel networks form a switched fabric because the switches in a network operate in unison as one big switch.
What is LC cable?
LC Fiber Optic Patch Cord. LC stands for Lucent Connector and was developed by Lucent Technologies in the 1990s. LC connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector and was developed to replace SC connector due to their smaller size. (LC is only half the footprint of SC connector).
What is LC and SC in fiber?
LC was designed as a push-pull connector that locks in place with a latch. SC is arguably the most common type of fiber optic connector used today. Designed to be simple to use and inexpensive to produce, SC uses a push-pull design similar to LC but utilizes a locking tab instead of a latch to secure the unit.
What is FC UPC connector?
The FC connector is a fiber-optic connector with a threaded body, which was designed for use in high-vibration environments. It is commonly used with both single-mode optical fiber and polarization-maintaining optical fiber. The FC connector was originally called a “Field Assembly Connector” by its inventors.
How does FC work?
How FC Works on the Switch. The switch connects devices that support FC and Ethernet (such as FCoE servers on an Ethernet network) to an FC SAN, thus converging the Ethernet and FC networks on a single physical network infrastructure.
What is LC LC?
(Lucent Connector) A miniaturized version of the fiber-optic SC connector. It looks somewhat like the SC, but is half the size with a 1.25mm ferrule instead of 2.5mm. See SC connector. LC and SC Connectors. LC and SC optical connectors use a push-pull plug similar to audio and video plugs and sockets.
Where is patch cable used?
And patch cables are often used for short distances in offices and wiring closets. Ethernet patch cable can link a computer to a network hub, router or Ethernet switch, which is useful to people constructing home computer networks.
What is a CAT5 patch cable used for?
There are many different kinds of patch cables. The most common are CAT5/CAT5e ethernet cables linking a computer to a nearby network hub, switch, or router, a switch to a router, etc. Ethernet patch cables are useful to those building home computer networks.
Why LC FC single mode fiber optic patch cables?
The FC LC duplex single mode fiber optic patch cables are fully compatible with industrial standards; they are good prices, fast delivery and good looking and packing. We supply LC FC single mode simplex fiber optic patch cables; they are with high precision ferrules in PC, UPC or APC polish.
What is FC LC simplex fiber optic jumper cable?
The FC LC simplex multimode fiber optic patch cables feature reliable quality and compatibility with international and industrial standards. These fiber optic jumper cables are low insertion loss and with LSZH, RoHS, Rizer and Plenum types optional.
What is the Fc part of the cable?
The FC part of the cable is made of precision FC fiber optic connector. It is compliant to IEC, TIA/EIA, NTT and JIS specifications. The FC connector is with PC, UPC, APC versions. Both single mode and multimode versions come with a zirconia ceramic ferrule.
