Optical patch cable SOLARIX 9/125 µm OS1 LC UPC to SC APC duplex 1 m

Duplex optical patch cable SOLARIX 9/125 µm OS1 LC UPC to SC APC 1 m is a single-mode fibre jumper designed for indoor telecommunication and data network connections. The cable combines a polished LC UPC connector on one end with an angled SC APC connector on the other to provide reliable mating with equipment, patch panels and transceivers where a mix of UPC and APC terminations is required. The 9/125 µm OS1 core/cladding specification ensures low attenuation and stable signal transmission for short to medium indoor runs.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and stable return loss characteristics appropriate for single-mode links, with duplex construction for bi-directional or paired connections. Its combination of LC UPC and SC APC terminations enables compatibility between devices and panels with different connector standards without additional adapters. The compact LC connector supports high-density installations while the angled APC reduces back-reflection where required.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode transceivers to patch panels and network equipment
• Indoor fibre backbone and horizontal cabling in telecom and data centres
• Applications requiring mixed UPC-to-APC connector interfaces
• Laboratory and test environments where short, precise single-mode links are needed

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode 9/125 µm (OS1)
• Connector A: LC UPC, duplex
• Connector B: SC APC, duplex
• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable construction: duplex jacketed patch cord for indoor use
• Typical performance: low insertion loss and controlled return loss for single-mode applications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation to ensure they are clean and undamaged. Route the duplex patch cable between equipment ports or patch panel ports, avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable sheath. Insert the LC end into the corresponding LC receptacle and the SC APC end into the corresponding SC APC receptacle, ensuring correct orientation and a secure latch. Use fibre-friendly cable management to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent microbending that could affect signal performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean connectors with approved fibre cleaning tools and store unused ends with dust caps. Avoid mating UPC and APC termini directly without verifying connector type and alignment; always match UPC to UPC or APC to APC on active transceivers when required. Maintain bend radius and avoid mechanical strain; inspect and test insertion loss after installation if precise link loss values are required.
