MDC fiber patch cord utilizes a 9/125μm singlemode fiber with an APC end face (IL≤0.3dB, RL≥65dB), significantly reducing signal reflection and achieving stable transmission with low insertion loss and high return loss, meeting the demands of long distance, high speed data transmission. The MDC connector allows for three times the connection density of traditional duplex LC connectors, accommodating 432 fiber cores in a 1U patch panel, effectively saving space. The push-pull boot of MDC patch cord makes plugging and unplugging easier in high-density environments, and allows for quick polarity switching without tools. The OFNR rated jacket ensures controlled flame spread, making it suitable for building backbone and horizontal cabling scenarios.
Simple Installation & Removal with Innovation Push-Pull Boot
The push-pull release boot of MDC fiber patch cord offers 1.5 inches of finger space for easy removal, cutting removal times by 60%. The single connector with duplex ferrules simplifies installation, reducing insertion times by over 40%.
Durable Connector for Long Term Use
Utilizing reinforced components that comply with the GR-326 standard, the MDC cable can withstand frequent plugging and unplugging, vibration, and fluctuations in temperature and humidity, significantly reducing the risk of failure during long term use and making it suitable for high-intensity usage scenarios such as large data centers.
3 Times Increase in Density Cabling Wiring
With a low profile design, the MDC fiber optic patch cords deliver three times the port density of traditional duplex LC connectors in the same footprint, effectively resolving space constraints and port shortages in high-density data centers.
Polarity Reversal Easily
Just pull back the connector's strain relief boot, rotate it 180 degrees (flip it), and then reassemble it onto the connector housing, which swaps the internal fiber path without tools or exposing the fiber, with polarity indicated by markings on the connector and logo. This allows easy conversion between A-B (straight) and A-A (crossover) wiring for fiber optic applications, maintaining density and performance.
Meeting Diverse Transmission Required
The MDC fiber patch cord supports two polishing types: UPC and APC. UPC is suitable for conventional data transmission scenarios, offering lower insertion loss. And APC is suitable for scenarios requiring extremely low return loss (such as CATV and long distance transmission), reducing signal reflection interference.
As a dedicated manufacturer specializing in fiber optic patch cords, we offer a comprehensive range of jacket material options (LSZH, OFNR, OFNP, etc.) to match the unique requires of your projects. Whether you need standard or customized solutions, our team is ready to support you. Contact us today at sales@unitekfiber.com to discuss your needs.
The main application is in data centers, where space is at a premium and high port density is essential. MDC patchcords allow for significantly higher fiber density (up to three times that of standard LC connectors) in patch panels and racks, reducing cable congestion and operational costs.
Meanwhile, MDC fiber optic patch cords are designed as the interface for emerging high-speed (200G, 400G, and beyond) optical transceivers, such as SFP-DD, QSFP-DD, and OSFP modules. They support "breakout" architectures where a single array transceiver can connect to multiple individual MDC patch cords.
Yes, MDC fiber jumpers typically include dust caps, and strain relief boots.
It meet Telcordia GR-326, RoHS, UL or ect.
The transmission distance of singlemode MDC fiber patchcord depends on wavelength and transceiver type, singlemode patchcord is suitable for long distance transmission.
Yes, polarity is critical for bidirectional communication (e.g., duplex systems) to ensure TX (transmit) from one device connects to RX (receive) of the other.
MDC fiber patch cord are primarily designed for indoor use (data centers, server rooms, office buildings) due to their compact design and standard jacket materials.
We ordered 200 custom-length MDC/UPC cable (ranging from 1m to 25m) for a large commercial building project. The lead time was only 7days. The RoHS certification was a must for our green building requirements, ticked all boxes!
As a telecom procurement team, we needed jumpers compatible with multiple manufacturers’ transceivers. These MDC jumpers work flawlessly with our currently equipment.
We switched to MDC patchcord for our 400G data center upgrade, and the difference is night and day. And it reduces cable clutter by 60%, and it shipped fast, which met our tight project timeline.
Purchased singlemode MDC cable support 40G transmission without signal degradation, and the bend insensitive G657A1 fiber design meant we didn’t have to reroute around tight corners. Meets Telcordia standards, so quality is reliable for using.
The MDC cables are easy to maintain. The ferrules are easy to clean with standard fiber wipes, and the strain relief boots prevent accidental damage during maintenance. We’ve deployed over 500 units across 20 clients, with zero complaints. Work great with UnitekFiber!
