Fibre Optic Cable Opticord 3m LC/SC

The Opticord 3m LC/SC fibre optic cable provides a 3-metre multimode-compatible link with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other. With a 9 µm core diameter designed for single-mode transmission characteristics, the cable supports high-speed data transfer and low attenuation across short to medium distances. The Opticord 3m LC/SC is intended for use in network environments where stable optical connections and compact connector interfaces are required.

Advantages

The cable combines two common connector types—LC and SC—to offer flexible compatibility between different network devices and patch panels. The 3 m length allows for tidy routing in racks and equipment rooms while maintaining minimal signal loss due to the 9 µm core. The design emphasizes reliable optical performance, connector durability and consistent insertion loss values suitable for structured cabling and point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers, switches and patch panels with LC and SC ports
• Server racks and data centre patching over short to medium cable runs
• Optical test setups and lab equipment requiring LC–SC interfaces

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Cable type: single-mode-compatible optical fibre
• Typical use: indoor patching and equipment interconnects

How to use

Install the Opticord 3m LC/SC cable by aligning the LC and SC connectors with the corresponding ports on your devices and inserting them until they click or seat firmly. Avoid bending the fibre tightly; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage. Route the cable through cable management channels or panels to prevent strain and secure it with suitable fasteners. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch (if present) and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of ferrules; use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For best optical performance, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector end-faces before mating. Use this 3 m LC/SC cable for organised short runs in racks and labs rather than long-distance backbone links.
