Single-mode Patchcord PC-2FC/2LC 1 m — No name

Single-mode Patchcord PC-2FC/2LC 1 m is a fiber optic cable designed for single-mode optical networks, providing a secure connection between FC and LC terminations. With a 1 meter jacketed fiber and one FC connector on one end paired with two LC connectors on the opposite end, this patchcord supports fiber patching, interconnection of equipment and linking of SFP/optical transceivers in environments where mixed connector types are required.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss typical for single-mode fiber, ensuring signal integrity over short interconnect distances. Its mixed termination (FC to dual LC) allows direct connection between devices with FC ports and equipment or transceivers using LC connectors, reducing the need for additional adapters. The 1 m length provides a compact, manageable solution for rack- and cabinet-level connections in telecom and data center setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting devices with FC ports to equipment with LC ports or SFP transceivers
• Fiber patching in telecom or data center cabinets
• Short interconnect runs between optical modules and patch panels

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (SM)
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector configuration: one FC connector to two LC connectors
• Connector polish: PC (physical contact)
• Jacket: flexible external protective jacket suitable for indoor use

How to use

Before installation, ensure connectors and transceiver ports are clean and free of dust using appropriate fiber-cleaning tools. Route the patchcord avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber. Insert the FC connector into the FC port and secure as required, then insert the LC connectors into the corresponding LC sockets or SFP transceivers until they latch. Verify optical link status via equipment indicators or by measuring optical power and continuity.

Usage recommendations

Keep protective dust caps on connectors until final connection to prevent contamination. For best performance, perform regular visual and optical inspections and store spare patchcords coiled loosely to avoid microbends.
