Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC-SC Duplex Singlemode 0.5 m 2 mm OEM PCLCSC9D0.5-2L

Duplex singlemode fiber optic patch cord with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, length 0.5 m and jacket diameter 2 mm. Designed for singlemode network links, telecommunication equipment, and optical test setups, this patch cord provides low insertion loss and stable performance for transmitter/receiver pairs and short interconnects in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The LC-SC duplex patch cord combines a compact LC connector with a robust SC connector to facilitate connections between different device types. Its 0.5 m length and 2 mm jacket make it suitable for tidy routing inside racks and enclosures while minimising excess cable. The singlemode fiber ensures low attenuation over the short link and consistent optical characteristics for accurate testing and stable network performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between equipment with LC and SC ports
• Short patching runs in racks and patch panels
• Telecommunication and singlemode network links
• Optical test benches and transmitter/receiver alignment

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode (OS1/OS2 compatible)
• Connector A: LC duplex (female)
• Connector B: SC duplex (female)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket diameter: 2 mm
• Polishing type: typically UPC (check device compatibility)
• Cable configuration: duplex, 2-fiber
• Typical insertion loss: low (suitable for short links and test use)

How to use

Ensure both ends of the network equipment are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by the devices. Align and insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC port until they click or seat firmly. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; keep bend radius within manufacturer recommendations for singlemode fiber. Verify optical link presence and run a light source and power meter or OTDR test if precise loss measurement is required.

Usage recommendations

Protect connector endfaces from dust and contamination by using dust caps when the cable is not connected. Clean endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; store coiled without kinks. For critical measurements, use calibrated test equipment and allow connectors to stabilise after connection before recording results.
