Optical patch cable simplex LC‑LC 9/125 µm singlemode 2 m G.657.A

Simplex optical patch cable with LC to LC connectors, 9/125 µm singlemode fiber and 2 m length designed to meet G.657.A bend‑insensitive requirements. The cable supports fibre patching in rack, cabinet and desktop environments and is suitable for connecting transceivers, patch panels and network equipment. It delivers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance for telecom and data applications where space and bend radius constraints are present.

Advantages

The LC‑LC simplex singlemode cable provides compact connectors and a standardized ferrule interface for reliable mating with a wide range of devices. Compliance with the G.657.A profile reduces sensitivity to tight bends and installations in confined spaces, while 9/125 µm singlemode core geometry ensures long‑distance optical transmission with minimal modal dispersion. The 2 m length offers flexibility for rack and cabinet routing without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP/SFP+ transceivers and optical ports on switches and routers
• Patching between fibre panels and distribution frames in server racks
• Desktop and wall‑mounted equipment connections where short reach is required
• Installations with limited bend radius such as underfloor troughs and cable management ducts

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC simplex
• Standard: bend‑insensitive optical fibre conforming to G.657.A profile
• Length: 2 m
• Polish type: typically UPC/PC (depending on factory termination)
• Typical insertion loss: low (designed for minimal optical attenuation)
• Cable construction: single fiber simplex with outer jacket suitable for indoor patching

How to use

Route the cable between optical ports, patch panels or transceiver modules, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before mating. Align the LC connectors with the device ports and insert until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and maintain a smooth bend radius consistent with G.657.A recommendations during routing. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull the connector straight out to prevent damage to the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Use cable management accessories to prevent excessive bending and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For critical links, measure insertion loss after installation to verify performance and document the link for future maintenance.
