Questions & Answers

Q
What is UPC polish?
A
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish refers to a connector end face that has been polished with an extended process, resulting in a slightly more conical head shape and improved surface quality. This type of polish achieves a higher return loss (about -50dB or higher), meaning less back reflection compared to standard PC (Physical Contact) polish, which has about -40dB return loss.

Q
Why choose a lower strand assembly over a higher strand assembly?
A
Lower strand assemblies are ideal when you only need a limited number of connections, keeping costs, size, and cable management simpler. Higher strand counts are used for backbone or high-density applications where many connections must run through a single cable.
