Overview
This singlemode simplex fiber optic patch cable features E2000 to E2000 UPC-to-UPC connectors. It is designed for high-performance network connectivity, utilizing industry-standard Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber for low attenuation and high reliability in demanding environments.
The E2000 connectors are equipped with an integrated shutter system. This mechanism automatically protects the ferrule from dust and contaminants when disconnected and shields technicians from hazardous high-power laser emissions. This 3mm patch cord is suitable for a wide range of standard data center and telecommunications applications requiring secure, high-precision connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the shutter on the E2000 connector?
The shutter provides two main benefits: it protects the ferrule from dust and debris when not plugged in, and it prevents accidental exposure to potentially hazardous high-power laser signals.
Can this cable be used for high-power laser applications?
Yes, the E2000 interface is designed to support higher power levels, and the integrated shutter mechanism is specifically intended for use in these environments to ensure technician safety.
Is this a simplex or duplex cable?
This is a simplex cable, meaning it contains a single strand of fiber.
Does this patch cord use standard fiber?
Yes, it utilizes Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, which is a global industry standard for high-performance singlemode applications.
What does the UPC polish signify?
UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact. It is a polish method that minimizes signal reflections (return loss) at the connection point compared to standard PC polishing.
