Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cord PCLCLC9D5-2L 5 m LC‑LC 2 mm

Duplex fiber optic patch cord PCLCLC9D5-2L is a 5 m LC–LC cable with a 2 mm jacket designed for duplex data transmission in network, telecom and data center environments. The cord features LC connectors on both ends and provides secure termination for patch panels, switches and active equipment. It supports single-mode or multi-mode use depending on the installed fiber type and is intended to deliver low insertion loss and reliable optical connections for short- to medium-length links.

Advantages

This LC–LC duplex patch cord offers standardized LC connectors for compact, high-density connections and a uniform 2 mm cable diameter for easy routing in cable management systems. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability in rack and cabinet deployments. Designed for low insertion loss and consistent optical performance, the cord simplifies installation and replacement in active ports and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and switches in data centers
• Connecting transceivers and optical equipment in telecom racks
• Duplex links within server cabinets and telecom enclosures
• Laboratory or test-bench temporary fiber connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Cable diameter: 2 mm
• Transmission: duplex fiber optic
• Compatibility: single-mode or multi-mode fiber depending on installed fiber
• Application: network, telecom, data center links

How to use

Inspect connectors for clean endfaces before insertion and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Route the 2 mm duplex cable through cable management trays or ties without sharp bends; maintain minimum bend radius recommended by the fiber manufacturer. Insert each LC connector firmly into the corresponding LC port on patch panels, switches or transceivers until a positive click is felt. To remove, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out. For duplex pairs, ensure transmit and receive orientation matches the equipment labeling.

Usage recommendations

Store the patch cord coiled without kinks and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. Avoid excessive pulling force on the cable and maintain proper bend radius to preserve low insertion loss and long-term performance.
