Fibre optic cable Lightwin LDP-09 FC-ST 1.0 1m

The Lightwin LDP-09 FC-ST 1.0 1m is a single-mode OS2 fibre optic patch cable with a 9 µm core diameter designed for high-speed, full-duplex data transmission over longer distances. The cable comes in a 1‑metre length and is fitted with two FC connectors and two ST connectors, enabling direct connection between devices that use these common fibre terminations. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This fibre patch cable uses a 9 µm single-mode core optimized for OS2 performance, which reduces attenuation and maintains signal integrity over extended runs. The combination of FC and ST connectors offers compatibility with a wide range of equipment and allows straightforward mating with corresponding adapters or ports. The cable's construction supports full-duplex communication and is suitable for environments that require consistent low-loss links.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode equipment in datacentres and telecom racks
• Linking optical transceivers and patch panels with FC and ST interfaces
• Long-distance backbone and campus network segments
• Laboratory and testbench setups requiring reliable single-mode links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector types: 2 × FC, 2 × ST
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before making connections; use a fibre inspection scope or lint-free wipes and approved cleaning solution if necessary. Align the appropriate FC and ST connectors to their mating ports, insert and secure the FC connectors by tightening the threaded ferrule and engage the ST connectors with their bayonet-style locking mechanism. Ensure patch cords are routed without sharp bends and secured to prevent strain at termination points. Test the link after installation using an optical power meter or light source and document attenuation values.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable following standard fibre optic practices: avoid exceeding minimum bend radius, protect connector endfaces from dust and contamination, and label both ends for easy identification. For critical links, perform end-to-end testing and periodic inspection to verify continued performance.
