Network Cable BlueOptics CB-LC-LC-SMF20M LC-LC Singlemode Patch Cable 20 Meter

The BlueOptics CB-LC-LC-SMF20M LC-LC Singlemode Patch Cable 20 Meter is a fibre optic cable designed for singlemode networks where long-distance, low-loss transmission is required. This 20 m cable uses LC connectors on both ends and is intended for high-bandwidth links in data centres, telecom rooms and point-to-point connections. The cable construction and connector type prioritise signal integrity, low insertion loss and high return loss to support reliable optical transmission over singlemode infrastructure.

Advantages

This BlueOptics singlemode patch cable provides predictable optical performance with low insertion loss and high return loss, reducing signal degradation across the link. The LC-LC connector pair offers compact connector geometry suitable for high-density patch panels and equipment ports. At 20 metres, the cable balances reach and manageable installation routing for structured cabling environments. The cable is compatible with standard singlemode transceivers and equipment that accept LC connectors.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical equipment in data centres and server rooms
• Point-to-point links between telecom cabinets or racks
• Connecting singlemode transceivers and optical modules with LC ports
• Structured cabling runs where 20 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Length: 20 metres
• Optical performance: Low insertion loss, high return loss
• Application: High-bandwidth, long-distance optical links

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and receptacles for dust or contamination before connection; clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Align the LC connector latching mechanism with the device port and insert until a click is felt, ensuring a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and gently pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops and protect connector end faces with dust caps when not in use. Use this BlueOptics LC-LC singlemode patch cable in controlled indoor environments such as data centres or telecom rooms and avoid exposure to moisture or direct mechanical impact. For best optical results, pair with compatible singlemode transceivers and follow standard fibre handling and maintenance procedures.
