Fiber Patch Cable LOGILINK FPSLS40 — SC (simplex) to LC (simplex), OS2 G657.A2 single-mode, 40 m

LOGILINK FPSLS40 is a single-mode fiber patch cable with SC (simplex) to LC (simplex) terminations, 40 m length and OS2 fiber type built from G657.A2 glass. Designed for low-loss point-to-point connections, this fiber patch cord is intended for telecom backbones, data center cross-connects and campus links where SC–LC terminations and single-mode performance are required. The 40 m length gives flexibility for inter-rack and intra-room routing while maintaining single-fiber, single-mode signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable combines SC simplex and LC simplex connectors in a single assembly to enable direct connection between equipment that uses these different terminations without additional adapters. Using OS2 grade fiber with G657.A2 glass reduces attenuation and improves bend performance compared with older single-mode fibres, helping to maintain signal quality over the 40 m run. The pre-terminated patch cable simplifies installation, reduces connector loss compared to field terminations, and provides a reliable link suitable for optical transceivers and network devices.

Suitable for

• Telecom backbone and campus fiber links requiring single-mode SC to LC connections
• Data center cross-connects and patch panels where a 40 m reach is needed
• Connecting optical transceivers, switches and routers with SC and LC ports
• Infrastructure upgrades that benefit from improved bend performance of G657.A2 fiber

When it may not be suitable

This single-mode SC–LC patch cable is not appropriate for multimode applications or environments that require duplex connections on both ends. It is designed for single-fiber, single-mode links; systems requiring LC–LC, SC–SC or multimode OM fiber should use corresponding cables. For runs longer than 40 m where attenuation budget or specific link loss calculations are critical, verify optical budget and consider different lengths or amplification/repeaters as needed.

Key specifications

• Connector types: SC simplex to LC simplex
• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Fiber glass: G657.A2 (improved bend performance)
• Length: 40 m
• Polish/termination: factory-terminated connectors for low insertion loss
• Typical use: point-to-point patching and equipment connection in telecom and data center environments

How to use

Route the patch cable along existing cable trays, raceways or under-floor conduits avoiding sharp bends and tight radii to preserve the G657.A2 fiber performance. Insert the SC simplex connector into an SC adapter or port and the LC simplex connector into the LC port of the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are clean before mating—use appropriate fiber cleaning tools to remove dust and contamination. Secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors and verify link performance with a power meter or optical transceiver diagnostics after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the connected equipment uses SC (simplex) and LC (simplex) connectors
• Verify that a single-mode OS2 cable meets the required optical budget and distance
• Ensure 40 m length is sufficient for your routing path and spare length needs
• Check if duplex connections or different connector types are required instead

Usage recommendations

Use fiber cleaning wipes or cassette cleaners before connecting, avoid bending below the manufacturer's recommended radius, and perform an optical power test after installation to confirm acceptable insertion loss and continuity.
