Fiber optic cable QOLTEC 54034, SC to LC, 5 m, singlemode 9 µm, yellow

QOLTEC 54034 is a 5 m singlemode fiber optic patch cable with an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other. The cable uses a 9 µm core and a yellow jacket that identifies singlemode operation. It is designed for high-speed fiber transmission and is suitable for connecting transceivers, switches and optical patch panels in data centre and telecom installations. The cable features an LSZH outer sheath that minimises toxic gas emission in case of fire and is individually tested for quality and transmission integrity.

Advantages

The SC to LC 5 m singlemode construction provides reliable low-loss connections where a compact LC termination is needed at one end and a robust SC termination at the other. A 9 µm singlemode core supports long-distance, high-bandwidth links and is compatible with common singlemode transceivers. The yellow LSZH jacket makes cable identification simple while reducing hazardous smoke and gases during a fire. Individual testing ensures consistent performance for data centre and telecom environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers in switches and routers
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames in data centres
• Singlemode fibre links for telecom and enterprise networks
• Short interconnect runs between optical equipment and media converters

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Core type: singlemode, 9 µm
• Connectors: SC (one end) to LC (other end)
• Jacket colour: yellow (singlemode identification)
• Sheath material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Individually tested for performance

How to use

Route the fibre cable avoiding sharp bends and tight radius bends that can increase attenuation; follow the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment or cable manufacturer. Insert the SC connector into the corresponding SC port and the LC connector into the LC port until each connector locks in place. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating by using appropriate fibre cleaning tools or wipes to remove dust and contaminants. When disconnecting, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the cable.

Usage recommendations

Use this SC–LC singlemode cable for short fixed-length links inside racks and between adjacent equipment. Keep the cable labelled and routed in cable management trays to prevent accidental strain. For optimal optical performance, clean connector endfaces before each connection and avoid repeated mating cycles on one connector without inspection.
