Optical patch cable LC‑LC 90° duplex singlemode 1 m

Singlemode optical patch cable LC‑LC 90° duplex singlemode 1 m is a 1‑metre fiber jumper with LC connectors on both ends in a duplex, 90‑degree orientation. It is designed for singlemode (SM) networks and provides low insertion loss connections between transceivers, switches and patch panels. The compact right‑angle LC plugs reduce the required clearance behind equipment, enabling denser port layouts and neater routing in racks and cabinets.

Advantages

The cable combines singlemode fiber performance with a duplex LC‑LC interface and right‑angle connector geometry to minimise space usage and bending stress. Low insertion loss and return loss characteristics support high bandwidth transmission over long distances. The duplex configuration maintains polarity and simplifies installation in transceiver pairs. The 1 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management in short patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP/SFP+ transceivers and network switches in singlemode networks
• Patching between fiber patch panels and active equipment in rack cabinets
• Tight installations where right‑angle connectors prevent obstruction and reduce bend radius
• Data centre and telecom environments with duplex singlemode links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (SM)
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex, 90° right‑angle plugs
• Length: 1 metre
• Polarity: duplex, maintains A/B channel mapping
• Typical insertion loss: low (manufacturer standard for SM patch cords)
• Jacket: flexible outer sheath suitable for indoor rack use
• Operating environment: indoor, controlled telecom and data centre conditions

How to use

Inspect connectors and fiber ends for contamination before connecting. Align LC duplex plugs with corresponding LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Insert the 90° connectors carefully so that the right‑angle orientation sits flush with the equipment faceplate and does not obstruct adjacent ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; secure routing inside the cabinet with cable management accessories to minimise strain on the fiber.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connector endfaces clean and use appropriate dust caps when the cable is not connected. Maintain bend radii above the minimum specified for singlemode fiber and use right‑angle orientation to reduce rear‑clearance requirements in dense installations. Periodically inspect and, if necessary, clean connectors using approved fiber‑optic cleaning tools.
