TECHNICAL SELECTION / FOUR CHECKS

Match the full connection record.

A connector pair alone is not the whole specification. Read both port types, required fibre, number of paths and physical route together.

01 / Ends and polish

LC is not SC. UPC is not an APC option.

LC and SC name different connector formats. Read each device or panel port specification, then choose LC/UPC-LC/UPC, LC/UPC-SC/UPC or SC/UPC-SC/UPC from the catalogue. Do not force a mismatch, infer a polish type from a jacket color, or substitute an unspecified adapter.

02 / Fibre

Use the equipment requirement.

OS2, OM3 and OM4 are separate listed fibre choices. The catalogue does not provide bandwidth, speed, wavelength or distance guarantees. Match the device documentation instead of assuming the higher number is the correct choice for every run.

03 / Format

Count paths, not plugs in a name.

FSF-003 is simplex; the other four cords are duplex. Verify the port arrangement and required path count. A mixed LC-SC cord changes connector formats between ends; it does not convert an optical signal or fibre type.

04 / Length and routing

Measure the route and access points.

Lengths are fixed per SKU: 2 m, 3 m or 5 m as listed. Include the actual route, service access and installation limits. The 2.0 mm jacket notation does not supply a bend-radius or tensile-load rating.

This is a selection aid, not an installation certification. For an unlisted requirement, describe your port pair, fibre, path count and route constraints to the shop before payment.
