Fiber patchcord LANBERG LC/APC to LC/UPC duplex 3.0 mm LSZH G.657.A1 1 m yellow

LANBERG singlemode fiber patchcord LC/APC to LC/UPC duplex, 1.0 m, is designed for reliable optical connections in networks that require low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheathing and bend-insensitive fiber. The duplex cable uses LC connectors with an APC (angled physical contact) termination on one end and an UPC (ultra physical contact) termination on the other, enabling connections between equipment or patch panels with differing connector polish types. The 3.0 mm cable diameter and G.657.A1 fiber specification provide improved bend performance for installations with tight routing or limited space.

Advantages

This LANBERG fiber patchcord combines LSZH outer jacket and G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber to reduce risk in confined or public spaces while maintaining optical performance for singlemode links. Duplex LC terminations ensure compact, standardized connections and the mixed APC/UPC polish types enable flexible interfacing between various devices and panels. The 1.0 m length offers a tidy, low-loss connection for short interconnect runs in racks, enclosures, or FTTH setups.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centers and comms rooms
• Direct interconnects between singlemode equipment with LC/APC and LC/UPC ports
• FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) indoor drop and subscriber-side connections
• Tight-routing installations where bend-insensitive fiber is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode, G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive)
• Connector types: LC/APC to LC/UPC duplex
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Color: yellow (singlemode identification)

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for cleanliness before mating; clean if necessary using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Align the LC connectors with corresponding LC/APC and LC/UPC ports and insert until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius for G.657.A1 fiber to preserve optical performance. When routing the 3.0 mm cable, secure it with cable management hardware to prevent strain on connector ends.

Usage recommendations

Store the patchcord coiled without tight loops and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. Use the mixed APC/UPC patchcord only where APC-to-UPC mating is required; for optimum return loss, match polish types where possible. For installations in public or enclosed spaces, the LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire.
