Fibre optic cable Alcasa LW-901LC 1 m LC Blue Yellow

The Alcasa LW-901LC 1 m LC Blue Yellow is a single-mode OS2 fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends and a 9 µm core diameter. Designed for short interconnects in structured cabling, it provides full duplex transmission and is intended for use where low attenuation and consistent optical performance are required. The cable's colour-coded connectors and jacket simplify identification and routing in racks and panels while maintaining signal integrity for high-speed network links.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and return loss consistent with OS2 single-mode performance, supporting long-reach optical signals when used within its intended network environment. Its 1 m length reduces excess slack in dense patching fields, and the LC-to-LC connection format is compatible with a wide range of transceivers and equipment. Colour-coded blue and yellow elements assist in visual management and reduce the risk of mispatching during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and rack-to-rack connections
• Telecommunications rooms and distribution frames
• Interconnects between optical transceivers and switches
• Lab and test-bench setups requiring controlled short links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Polishing/connector performance: Low insertion loss, high return loss (typical for OS2 LC connectors)
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Jacket/connector colour: Blue and yellow for easy identification

How to use

Install the Alcasa LW-901LC by connecting each LC connector to the corresponding LC port on your equipment or patch panel, ensuring correct polarity for full duplex operation. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid mechanical stress on connectors; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fibre. For best results, clean connector endfaces before mating and secure the cable in cable management accessories to prevent strain during operation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate fibre cleaning tools and visual inspection to confirm endface condition before installation. Store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment and avoid excessive pulling forces. For permanent links in critical systems, verify optical loss with a power meter or OTDR during installation to confirm the link meets required performance margins.
