Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC InLine 88656P 1m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 1m is a single-mode duplex fiber patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. Designed for full duplex communication, it supports high-speed data transmission over longer distances with low attenuation thanks to its 9 µm core and OS2 grade fiber. The compact LC connector housing provides reliable mating with compatible switches, transceivers and patch panels used in enterprise and telecom networks.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics typical of OS2 single-mode fiber, helping to maintain signal integrity across long links. The 1 m length allows tidy connections in dense equipment racks and reduces excess cable slack. Its standardized LC terminations enable broad compatibility with networking devices that accept LC interfaces. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels for bidirectional network links.

Suitable for

• Fiber optic patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Single-mode backbone links in enterprise and data center environments
• Telecom and ISP fiber connections requiring LC interfaces
• Laboratory or test-bench setups for optical equipment verification

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Polish/type: Factory-terminated, precision-polished endfaces
• Length: 1 m
• Duplex configuration for separate transmit and receive fibers

How to use

Route the cable between the two LC-compatible ports ensuring minimal bending radius and avoiding sharp kinks. Remove protective dust caps from the LC connectors immediately before insertion to prevent contamination of endfaces. Insert each LC plug until it clicks into the adapter or transceiver port to establish a secure connection. For best optical performance, verify link attenuation with appropriate test equipment after installation and replace protective caps when connectors are disconnected.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a bend radius no smaller than the manufacturer’s recommended value and keep connectors clean by using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Use the 1 m length for short, rack-level connections to minimize slack; for longer runs select a longer single-mode OS2 fiber cable. When installing in high-traffic areas, route the cable inside protective conduits or cable management panels to reduce mechanical stress and contamination risk.
