Single-mode LC to FC fiber optic patch cord

An FC to LC single-mode fiber optic patch cord is a high-performance cable connecting FC and LC connectors, designed for precise optical transmission in telecom and data networks. OverviewFC to LC single-mode patch cords are used to connect devices with FC (Ferrule Connector) and LC (Lucent Connector) interfaces. They are typically made with OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125 µm), which ensures low attenuation and high signal integrity over long distances ( ).

These cables are available in simplex or duplex configurations, depending on whether one or two fibers are required for bidirectional communication ( ). Connector FeaturesFC Connector: Features a threaded coupling for secure connections, ideal for telecommunications and high-vibration environments. It uses a 2.

5 mm ferrule and is non-optical disconnect ( ).

L

C Connector: Compact with a 1. 25 mm ferrule, designed for high-density applications. It includes a latch mechanism for stability in racks and panels, available in both simplex and duplex versions ( ).

Cable Construction

Fiber Type: Single-mode (OS2, 9/125 µm) for long-distance, low-loss transmission ( ). Jacket: Typically PVC (OFNR) or LSZH for indoor use, providing durability and resistance to pulls, strains, and electrical interference ( ). Testing: High-quality patch cords are 100% optically inspected for insertion loss and performance before shipping ( ).

Applications

Telecommunications networksData centers and server roomsHigh-density optical patch panelsEthernet and fiber channel connectionsAdditional OptionsSome manufacturers offer custom lengths, hybrid connectors, and AR-coated or thermally-expanded-core (TEC) single-mode cables for specialized applications ( ). Duplex versions often include a duplex clip for organized cabling in racks ( ). SummaryFC to LC single-mode patch cords provide reliable, low-loss optical connections between devices with FC and LC interfaces.

They are suitable for high-performance networking environments, offering durability, precision, and compatibility with standard single-mode fiber systems ( ).
