MT-LCLC

MT-Link Lc UPC patch cord is an optical cable with connectors on both ends, to achieve optical connection. The fiber patch cord is similar to coaxial cables, except that there is no mesh shield. The center is the glass core of light propagation. In multi mode fibers, the diameter of the core is 50μm~ 65μm, which is roughly equal to the thickness of a human hair. While in single-mode fibers, the diameter of the core is 8μm~ 10μm. And then outside is a thin plastic jacket, to protect the coating.

There are many types of fiber patch cord according to different connectors, and the
different types of connectors cannot work with each other. The SFP module
connects to the LC UPC patch cord connector, while the GBIC connect to the fiber
patch cord. The core is surrounded by glass with a lower refractive index than the
core coating to keep the optical fiber within the core.
