Fibre optic cable ExertisConnect EXC 392863 3 m SC LC Yellow

The ExertisConnect EXC 392863 3 m SC LC Yellow is a single-mode OS2 fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed, long-distance network links. It features an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, with a 9 µm core diameter that supports full duplex communication. The cable's yellow jacket indicates single-mode fibre and helps with clear identification in structured cabling environments. This 3 m length provides a balance between flexibility and reach for data centre, telecommunications and enterprise networking installations.

Advantages

This SC to LC fibre cable uses OS2 single-mode fibre for low attenuation over longer runs and a 9 µm core for compatibility with standard single-mode transceivers. The pre-terminated connectors ensure consistent optical performance and simple plug-and-play installation, while the colour-coded yellow jacket facilitates organised cable management. Full duplex support allows simultaneous bidirectional data transfer, making it suitable for duplex links between switches, routers and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and rack-to-rack links
• Telecommunications backbone and long-reach connections
• Connection between SC and LC transceivers or networking equipment
• Enterprise LAN and campus network fibre runs

• Connector A: SC (male)
• Connector B: LC (male)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 3 metres
• Duplex support: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Identify the corresponding SC and LC ports on your networking equipment or patch panels. Ensure connectors and ports are clean and free of dust or debris before mating. Align the SC connector with its adapter and insert until it latches; align and insert the LC connector into the LC adapter or transceiver until it clicks. Avoid bending the fibre sharply; maintain the cable’s minimum bend radius as specified by equipment guidelines. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out without twisting.

Usage recommendations

Use a fibre inspection scope or approved cleaning tools to inspect and clean connector endfaces before each connection. Route the cable in bend-protected trays or conduits, avoid tight bends and excessive tensile stress, and secure excess length with appropriate cable management accessories to maintain optical performance.
