Fiber optic cable single-mode lc-sc

Single-mode LC to SC fiber optic cables are high-performance 9/125µm patch cords designed for long-distance, low-loss data transmission in LAN, WAN, and data center networks.Key SpecificationsFiber Type: Single-mode (SMF), 9µm core / 125µm cladding, OS1 or OS2 standard .Connectors: LC (1.25mm) to SC (2.5mm) duplex or simplex, typically with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish for low back reflection .Jacket: Yellow PVC or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), often OFNR riser-rated for indoor vertical runs .Insertion Loss: Typically ≤0.3 dB per connector; return loss ≥55 dB .Bend Radius: Minimum 5–10 mm loaded, 3–10 mm unloaded, depending on manufacturer .Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to 158°F), .Length Options: Commonly 0.5m to 100m, with custom lengths available .ApplicationsHigh-speed networking: Gigabit Ethernet, 10GbE, Fiber Channel, ATM .Telecom and data centers: LAN, WAN, SAN, GPON, FTTX deployments .Long-distance transmission: Single-mode fibers maintain signal integrity over kilometers with low attenuation (0.25–0.35 dB/km at 1310–1550 nm), .Features and BenefitsHigh precision connectors: Ceramic ferrules ensure accurate alignment and minimal signal loss .Durable and flexible: Suitable for tight installations with bend-insensitive fiber options .Plug-and-play: Pre-terminated cables simplify installation and reduce maintenance costs .Compliance: Meets ITU-T G.652A/B, IEC 60793-2-50, ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, and RoHS environmental regulations .Selection TipsOS1 vs OS2: OS1 is optimized for indoor, short-distance applications; OS2 is suitable for long-distance, outdoor, or high-bandwidth networks .Duplex vs Simplex: Duplex cables support bidirectional communication; simplex is single-direction.Polish Type: UPC is standard for low back reflection; APC (angled) is preferred for high-precision telecom links.Jacket Material: LSZH is safer for enclosed spaces; PVC is standard for general indoor use. Single-mode LC to SC fiber optic cables are ideal for reliable, high-speed, long-distance network connections, offering low attenuation, high bandwidth, and compatibility with modern data center and telecom infrastructure .
