Opticord fibre optic cable Yellow 1m LC/LC

The Opticord fibre optic cable Yellow 1m LC/LC is a single-mode patch cord with a 9 µm core designed for high-speed optical data transmission. Fitted with LC connectors on both ends and enclosed in a yellow protective jacket, this 1-meter cable is intended for short interconnects in networking racks, patch panels and equipment that accept LC termination. The yellow outer sheath improves visibility in cabling bundles and offers mechanical protection for the optical fiber.

Advantages

The LC/LC configuration ensures compact, low-footprint connections suitable for dense installations. A 9 µm core supports single-mode propagation, enabling low attenuation over links and consistent signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. The 1 m length reduces excess slack and simplifies cable management in racks and enclosures. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification of single-mode runs and adds abrasion resistance to the fiber.

Suitable for

• Short-distance single-mode links between network equipment (switches, transponders, SFP modules)
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames in data centers
• Laboratory and test environments requiring standardized LC terminations
• Telecommunications and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTx) interconnects where LC connectors are used

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (9 µm core diameter)
• Connector type: LC on both ends (LC/LC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Jacket color: yellow
• Polish/termination: factory-terminated, zirconia ferrule (standard LC finish)

How to use

Route the Opticord LC/LC cable between the two LC-compatible ports, avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force. Insert the LC connector into the device port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. When disconnecting, release the connector latch and pull straight out without twisting. For multi-cable runs, label both ends to maintain link traceability and align fiber polarity according to the equipment manufacturer’s requirements.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector bodies and keep protective dust caps on unused connectors. Maintain a minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber, avoid kinks, and store the cable coiled loosely when not in use. Clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to minimize insertion loss and protect link performance.
