Unshielded twisted pair has the basic categories of category 3 for phones and Category 5 for computer networks.UTP is under a catchment area of 100 meters.Meaning the cables should not exceed this length. TIA/EIA standards allow for 90 m of horizontal run (in the walls and ceiling).This leaves 10 m for patch cables (outside the walls.) Patch cables are utilized to connect devices in a room to the wall jack.There are physical limitations in the walls. Patch cables are utilized to connect devices in a room to the wall jack.Their physical limitations in the walls,access holes, HVAC(heating, venting, and air conditioned). Pipes, ducts,lights, fans and so on.Physical networking is not an easy task, if you need more distance than 100m,consider connecting a fiber optic cable to an intermediate distribution Facility (IDF).An IDF has its own 50m category 5 area it can cover fiber optic cables can be fixed as long as several kilometers.The LC Patch Cable is a small form factor (SFF) connector and is ideal for high density applications.LC fiber optic patch cord connector has a zirconia ceramic ferrule measuring 1.25mm O.D. with a PC or APC and, and provides optimum insertion and return loss.

Management hardware is the means by which by which fiber optic cable is routed, interconnected, and organized in a neat and manageable way.Once there are more than a few cables in an installation, unless they are managed neatly and effciently you will end up with a rat's nest of cabling, a tangled mess,and a hopeless mass of confusion.Management hardware allows fibers to be organized so they can be installed correctly and would be the behind-the-wall cables in a building network.These would run to the rear of the patch panel.Patch cable would then run between the patch panel and the equipment.By rearranging the fiber optic patch cables , you can connect ports on the equipment to different cables in the building.Another use for a patch panel is to form a transition point between multiplier cables and duplex cables.A72-fiber cable can connect to 72 separate adapters in the patch panel, individual or duplex cables then connect to the front of the patch panel.

The immediate tasks were tantamount to resolve a connectivity issue between buildings using existing fiber and to replace the existing switches. Each end of the fiber terminated in media converters. The older 62.5mm fiber SC ends simply needed conversion using an LC-LC Patch Cable to connect to the new fiber transceivers we installed. The 3-pair fiber cable only used the first air between the buildings, delivering less than 100Mbps through the media converters that were not power protected or a UPS.The LC jumper connector provides a secure locking mechanism to ensure the connection reliability. Customers use these LC fiber patch cords for demanding applications including ATM, Infiniband, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and anywhere they utilize LC GBIC's. Smaller LC connectors have double the port density of larger SC and ST style fibre termination making them very popular in high density applications.
