## Summary description

Single‑mode patch cord Alantec with LC/APC to LC duplex connectors, 9/125 µm fiber and G.657.A1 bend‑insensitive specification, length 3.0 m.

Suitable for telecom, data center and FTTH cabling.

## Long description

Single-mode patch cord Alantec SM LC/APC‑LC duplex 9/125 (G.657.A1) 3.0 m is a factory-terminated optical cable for precise and low-loss connections in fiber networks. This cable features LC/APC to LC duplex connectors with angled-polished (APC) ferrules on one or both ends, 9/125 µm single-mode fiber and a G.657.A1 bend-insensitive specification, providing reliable signal transmission for telecom, data center and FTTH environments. The 3.0 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack, equipment-to-patch panel and panel-to-panel links where controlled distance and minimal insertion loss are important.
Advantages
The Alantec patch cord combines bend-insensitive single-mode fiber and precision LC/APC connector polish to minimize return loss and signal degradation. Its duplex LC format supports duplex transmit/receive channels in a compact footprint, while the G.657.A1 fiber ensures improved performance in installations with tight bends or limited routing space. Factory-terminated connectors and controlled length reduce field termination time and variation, delivering predictable optical performance and easier maintenance.
Suitable for
 FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) subscriber drop and indoor terminations
 Data center patching between equipment and patch panels
 Telecommunications cross-connects and distribution frames
 Optical network testing and temporary links during maintenance
Key specifications
 Fiber type: single-mode 9/125 µm
 Fiber specification: G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive)
 Connector type: LC/APC to LC duplex
 Polish type: Angled Physical Contact (APC) on relevant end(s)
 Configuration: duplex (two fibers in parallel)
 Cable length: 3.0 m
 Typical usage: indoor patching and equipment interconnection
How to use
Route the patch cord along existing cable management paths and avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for G.657.A1 fiber. Insert the LC duplex connectors into compatible LC adapter ports or equipment receptacles, ensuring correct orientation for transmit/receive pairs. Secure excess cable with Velcro or cable ties to prevent strain on connectors. For APC-terminated connectors, align carefully until the connector latches to avoid contamination or damage; inspect endfaces with a fiber microscope if signal issues arise.
Usage recommendations
Handle connectors by the boot or connector body and keep protective dust caps on when not in use. Clean connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Avoid bending the cable sharply and maintain gentle cable loops when managing excess length to preserve the bend-insensitive benefits of G.657.A1 fiber.
