Patchcord RBLINE single-mode PC-2FC/2FC 1 m, single-mode fiber, FC–FC connectors

Patchcord RBLINE single-mode PC-2FC/2FC 1 m is a 1-metre single-mode fiber patch cable with FC–FC connectors on both ends. It is intended for fixed-length duplex connections in single-mode optical links, offering consistent optical performance for telecommunication lines, data networks, laboratory test setups and fiber optic devices that require FC terminations.

Advantages

This RBLINE single-mode patchcord features precise ceramic ferrules in FC connectors to ensure stable alignment and low insertion loss. The 1 m length provides a compact, managed connection with minimal excess fiber, reducing risk of bending and signal degradation in patch panels and equipment racks. The cable's single-mode design supports long-distance and high-bandwidth transmission with low attenuation, and the robust FC metal housing delivers secure threaded coupling suitable for vibration-prone environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode transceivers and SFP/SFP+ modules with FC interfaces
• Patching between FC-equipped patch panels and distribution frames
• Linking optical test equipment and measurement instruments
• Interfacing active network components and fiber optic devices that use FC connectors

Key specifications

• Cable type: single-mode optical fiber
• Connector type: FC–FC, both ends with threaded metal housings and ceramic ferrules
• Length: 1 m
• Polish: physical contact (PC)
• Configuration: duplex, fixed-length patchcord
• Typical use: single-mode optical links for telecommunication and data networks

How to use

Install the RBLINE single-mode PC-2FC/2FC patchcord by aligning the FC connector ferrule and threading the coupling nut until hand-tight to ensure a secure connection. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber to preserve signal integrity. Clean connector endfaces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to reduce insertion loss and back reflection. When routing the cable in racks or enclosures, secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Perform endface inspection and cleaning before each connection, store the patchcord in a dry dust-free area when not in use, and avoid sharp bends or compressive forces. Use this 1 m FC–FC single-mode patchcord where fixed short-length duplex connections are required and where threaded FC coupling ensures stable mechanical retention.
