Fibre optic patch cable QOLTEC 54324, 1 m, LC–LC (LC/UPC), G.652D, yellow

QOLTEC 54324 is a 1 m single‑mode fibre optic patch cable with LC–LC connectors terminated in LC/UPC. The cable uses G.652D optical fibre and a yellow outer jacket that identifies it as single‑mode. It is designed for short interconnects inside data centres, network racks and telecommunication equipment where reliable optical connections and compact LC connectors are required.

Advantages

The cable provides low insertion loss and stable optical performance due to G.652D single‑mode fibre and LC/UPC polished endfaces. Its 1 m length minimises excess slack in patch panels and racks while the LC–LC connection offers a compact footprint suitable for high‑density installations. The yellow jacket enables quick visual identification of single‑mode lines and the precise LC termination supports consistent mating with standard LC adapters.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting transceivers and patch panels in data centres
• Short optical links between network racks and switches
• Telecommunication equipment and optical distribution frames
• InfiniBand or other single‑mode fibre links requiring LC/UPC connectors

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Fibre type: G.652D single‑mode
• Connector type: LC–LC
• Connector polish: UPC (ultra physical contact)
• Outer colour: yellow (single‑mode identification)

How to use

Route the 1 m patch cable between compatible LC ports, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align and insert each LC connector into its corresponding adapter or transceiver receptacle until it clicks into place. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and pull straight out without twisting.

Usage recommendations

Inspect LC/UPC endfaces with a fibre microscope before installation and use dust caps when the cable is not connected. For best results in high‑density environments, label both ends and secure excess length to prevent strain; replace the cable if insertion loss increases or physical damage is visible.
