Selection Tips

  • Data Centers: Recommended SC/UPC or LC/APC for high-density installations and reliable performance
  • Long Distance: Use single mode patch cables with APC connectors for minimal back reflection
  • Industrial Environments: Choose FC/PC or armored cables for vibration resistance and protection
  • High-Speed Networks: MPO/MTP trunk cables are ideal for 40G/100G applications and spine-leaf architectures
  • Legacy Systems: ST connectors provide compatibility with older equipment and campus networks
