LC SM PATCH CORD
LC SM PATCH CORD
C-LIGHT LC SM Patch Cord is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable utilizing a compact LC connector, supporting 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelength transmission with low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (UPC ≥50 dB, APC ≥60 dB). Its space-saving design suits high-density environments like data center racks, while the push-pull latch mechanism simplifies installation. Available with UPC/APC end-faces and PVC/LSZH/armored jackets, it meets requirements for long-distance communication, FTTH, testing, and measurement. Combining flexibility, reliability, and IEC standard compliance, it serves as a critical interconnect component in high-speed optical networks.

C-LIGHT LC SM Patch Cord is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for compact and reliable optical interconnection. Its small-form-factor LC connector and push-pull latch support convenient installation in high-density fiber environments, while low insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB and high return loss provide stable optical performance. Multiple connector polishing, fiber, core, cable diameter, and jacket options are available for telecom, data center, FTTH, testing, and measurement applications.

Key Features of LC SM Patch Cord

Compact LC Connector

The compact LC connector occupies less panel space than larger connector formats, making the patch cord well suited to high-density fiber distribution and equipment racks.

Push-Pull Latch Design

The push-pull mechanism simplifies connector insertion and removal while providing a secure connection for equipment and fiber distribution systems.

Low Optical Loss

The patch cord provides insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB to help reduce optical power loss at fiber connection points and maintain efficient transmission.

High Return Loss

Return loss reaches ≥50 dB for UPC configurations and ≥60 dB for APC configurations, helping control reflected optical power in single-mode links.

UPC and APC Options

LC/UPC-LC/UPC, LC/APC-LC/UPC, and LC/APC-LC/APC configurations are available for different single-mode fiber interconnection requirements.

Flexible Cable Selection

0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm cable diameters are available with PVC, OFNR, OFNP, and LSZH options to accommodate different installation environments.

LC SM Patch Cord Configurations

LC/UPC-LC/UPC

LC/UPC connectors on both ends provide a standard single-mode patching configuration for optical equipment, panels, and fiber distribution applications.

LC/APC-LC/UPC

This mixed connector configuration combines APC and UPC end-faces for systems where the connected equipment requires different connector polishing types.

LC/APC-LC/APC

APC connectors on both ends provide a suitable option for single-mode applications where higher return loss and reduced optical reflection are required.

Single-Core and Dual-Core

The cable is available in single-core and dual-core configurations, providing flexibility for simplex and duplex single-mode fiber connections.

Fiber and Cable Options

Single-Mode Fiber Types

C-LIGHT supports G652D, G657A1, G657A2, G655, G657B3, and SMF28e fiber options for different transmission and installation requirements.

0.9mm Fiber Cable

The compact 0.9 mm construction is suitable for applications requiring flexible routing and efficient use of space inside fiber distribution and equipment environments.

2.0mm and 3.0mm Cable

2.0 mm and 3.0 mm cable constructions provide additional mechanical protection and are suitable for more structured patching and equipment connection environments.

Multiple Jacket Materials

PVC, OFNR, OFNP, and LSZH jacket options allow the patch cord to be selected according to installation conditions and cabling requirements.

Applications

Data Center Racks

The compact LC interface is particularly suitable for high-density data center racks, optical distribution panels, and equipment connections where available space is limited.

Telecommunication Networks

LC SM Patch Cords provide reliable single-mode connections between optical transmission equipment, distribution frames, and fiber management systems.

FTTH Networks

Different LC connector and cable configurations can be used in fiber access and FTTH infrastructure where compact single-mode connections are required.

Testing and Measurement

LC interfaces provide a practical connection method for optical testing equipment and measurement systems requiring repeatable single-mode fiber connections.

How to Select the Right LC SM Patch Cord

Selection should consider the required LC connector polishing type, fiber type, core configuration, cable diameter, and jacket material. LC/UPC or LC/APC should match the connected equipment, while single-core or dual-core construction should be selected according to simplex or duplex requirements. Cable diameter and jacket material can then be chosen according to routing space, mechanical protection, and installation conditions.
