Network Cable BlueOptics CB-LC-LC-SMF10M 10m Singlemode Patch Cable

The BlueOptics CB-LC-LC-SMF10M 10m Singlemode Patch Cable is a singlemode fiber optic cable with LC connectors on both ends, designed for point-to-point optical links up to 10 metres. It supports high-speed data transmission with low attenuation and is intended for use in structured cabling systems, server rooms and telecommunication racks where singlemode performance is required. The cable's construction provides stable signal transfer and consistent optical characteristics across its length.

Advantages

This 10 m singlemode patch cable offers low insertion loss and return loss consistent with singlemode fiber standards, providing reliable long-term optical connectivity. The LC-to-LC connector pair enables compact connections to transceivers and patch panels that use LC ports. The cable's jacket and strain relief are designed for indoor use in rack and cabinet environments, reducing the risk of damage from bending or movement during installation.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centers
• Patching between singlemode fiber patch panels and optical equipment
• Short-distance point-to-point links inside server rooms and telecom cabinets
• Laboratory setups and test environments requiring singlemode fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode
• Connector type: LC on both ends
• Length: 10 metres
• Polish type: typically UPC/APC depending on variant (confirm before purchase)
• Application: indoor patching, rack and cabinet use
• Typical performance: low attenuation suitable for high-speed optical links

How to use

Identify the LC ports on the networking equipment or patch panel and insert each LC connector until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable through cable management channels or horizontal organizers to avoid sharp bends; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber. When connecting to transceivers, ensure transceiver types and wavelengths match the singlemode fiber requirements to achieve proper link performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, keep dust caps on connectors until installation, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools, and avoid excessive bending or tension on the cable. Verify connector polish type (UPC or APC) and transceiver compatibility before finalizing connections to prevent mismatched interfaces.
