Fibre optic cable Alcasa LW-930LS 30 m LC SC Blue White Yellow

The Alcasa LW-930LS 30 m fibre optic cable from Good Connections is a single-mode OS2 patch cable with LC and SC male connectors. Designed for long-distance and high-speed data transmission, the cable uses a 9 µm core diameter that supports full-duplex communication and low attenuation. Offered in blue, white, and yellow jacket colours, this 30-metre cable is intended for backbone links, telecom racks and structured cabling where single-mode performance and reliable connector types are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic patch cable provides low-loss single-mode transmission and consistent connector performance thanks to LC and SC terminations. The 9 µm core diameter and OS2 fibre type enable longer reach and lower attenuation compared with multimode alternatives. The 30 m length gives flexibility for connecting distant racks or equipment within server rooms and telecom closets, while the choice of jacket colours helps with physical identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Single-mode backbone and inter-rack connections in data centres and telecom rooms
• Connecting optical transceivers and patch panels with LC and SC ports
• Long-reach links where OS2 single-mode fibre performance is required
• Environments requiring full-duplex optical links and low attenuation

When it may not be suitable

This cable is single-mode OS2 with a 9 µm core and is not suitable for multimode systems or equipment expecting 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm multimode fibre. It also uses fixed LC and SC male connectors; if your hardware requires different connector types or angled polish connectors (APC) rather than standard end-face geometry, this cable may not meet those requirements.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 30 m
• Connector A: LC male (one end)
• Connector B: SC male (other end)
• Duplex/full-duplex support: yes
• Jacket colours: blue, white, yellow

How to use

Inspect both connector end-faces before installation and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to avoid signal loss or damage. Route the cable through cable trays or raceways, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force; observe the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. Plug the LC connector into the corresponding LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until they latch securely. Perform optical loss testing or verification with appropriate test equipment after installation to confirm link performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your devices and patch panels use LC and SC interfaces compatible with male connectors
• Confirm that single-mode OS2 fibre is appropriate for your link distance and transceivers
• Verify required jacket colour for identification and management in your installation

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable coiled without sharp bends, keep connectors capped until use, and perform connector cleaning and optical verification to maintain low-loss performance over time.
