Fibre optic cable Lightwin LDP-09 FC-LC 1.0 1m 2x FC 2x LC Yellow

The Lightwin LDP-09 FC-LC 1.0 is a 1-metre single-mode fibre optic patch cable built for reliable, low-loss connections in networking and telecommunications environments. It uses OS2 optical fibre with a 9 µm core to carry high-speed signals over longer distances than multimode alternatives. The cable terminates with two FC connectors on one end and two LC connectors on the other, arranged for full-duplex transmission and easy integration with equipment that accepts FC and LC interfaces. The outer jacket is yellow to indicate single-mode fibre and to ease identification in cabling racks.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers low attenuation and high return loss due to the OS2 single-mode construction and precision connectors, which helps preserve signal integrity across connections. The combination of FC and LC connectors provides compatibility with a wide range of optical transceivers and patch panels. The 1-metre length reduces excess slack in short-span links while the duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The yellow jacket improves visual management in structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between optical transceivers and patch panels in data centres
• Short runs between network equipment in telecommunications rooms
• Linking single-mode ports on switches, routers and media converters
• Laboratory or equipment bench testing where FC and LC terminations are required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 1.0 metre
• Connector configuration: 2x FC to 2x LC duplex
• Jacket colour: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Transmission: full-duplex

How to use

Ensure both ends of the link are powered down or transceivers are disabled before making connections. Align and insert the FC connectors into FC adapters or bulkheads and secure any threaded coupling to avoid movement. Insert the LC connectors into compatible LC ports or adapters until they click into place. Route the cable following cable management best practices to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. After connections are made, enable transceivers and verify link status and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid contaminating connector endfaces; clean connectors with fibre-optic cleaning tools before mating. Use this OS2 single-mode cable for links requiring low insertion loss and stable long-term performance, and avoid excessive bending or tensile stress to maintain optimal optical characteristics.
