| Comparison parameter | Delta PC-2FC/2LC (1m, FC-LC) | Delta PC-2LC/2LC-1 (1m, LC-LC) | Delta PC-FC/FC-10 (10m, FC-FC) | Delta PC-FC/FC-3.0 (3m, FC-FC) | Delta PIG-FC (Pigtail FC) | Delta PC-LC/SC (1m, LC-SC) | Practical significance |
|---|
| Fiber type | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | Single-mode | All products are engineered for low signal loss and stable high-speed transmission in single-mode fiber systems. |
| Connector types | FC and LC | LC and LC | FC and FC | FC and FC | Single FC connector | LC and SC | Diverse interface options allow matching the cable to specific network hardware ports or patch panels. |
| Length | 1 meter | 1 meter | 10 meters | 3 meters | Standard pigtail length | 1 meter | Cable length dictates the maximum reach for patching equipment within a rack or between adjacent cabinets. |
| Construction | Patch cord | Patch cord | Patch cord | Patch cord | Pigtail | Patch cord | Patch cords are used for direct connections, whereas pigtails are designed for fusion splicing in distribution frames. |
◎ The table below shows which product is more suitable for specific user needs and application scenarios.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Connecting hardware with different FC and LC ports over a short distance | Delta single-mode fiber patch cord PC-2FC/2LC 1 meter FC to LC connector | Provides a direct link between FC and LC interfaces without adapters at a 1-meter length. |
| Connecting hardware with LC ports on both ends | Delta Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord PC-2LC/2LC-1 1m LC/LC | Ideal for local area networks and transceivers with dual LC connectors at a 1-meter length. |
| Linking devices up to 10 meters apart with FC connectors | Delta PC-FC/FC-10 Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patchcord FC to FC Connectors 10 m Length | Extended cable length bridges significant distances between racks and hardware with FC interfaces. |
| Connecting network devices at a medium distance of 3 meters with FC connectors | Delta single-mode fiber patch cord PC-FC/FC 3 m | An optimal 3-meter length ensures neat cable routing between nearby telecommunication devices. |
| Installation in optical distribution frames via fusion splicing | Delta PIG-FC Single-Mode Fiber Optic Pigtail with FC Connector | Single-ended FC connector and exposed fiber are specifically tailored for professional panel splicing. |
| Connecting equipment with LC and SC interfaces | Delta Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC/SC 1m | Enables direct connection between devices with mixed LC and SC port types over a short run. |
The choice between these solutions depends on your port configuration and distance requirements. The Delta single-mode fiber patch cord PC-2FC/2LC 1 meter FC to LC connector is best suited when you need to bridge mixed FC and LC ports within a one-meter span, while the alternative models are better tailored for different connector types, longer reaches, or fusion splicing tasks.
