Patch Cord LC-LC Single Mode DX 1M

The Netsys NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-1M is a high-precision Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord designed for high-performance, short-range connectivity in telecommunications and data center environments. At 1 meter (approx. 3.3 feet), this cable is the industry standard for connecting high-speed transceivers to patch panels within the same equipment rack.

Key Features

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Features a ultra-thin 9/125µm core, designed for long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss. While capable of reaching up to 10km, this 1m version ensures peak performance for local connections.

• LC-to-LC Duplex Connectors: Utilizes Small Form Factor (SFF) LC connectors to maximize port density on switches and routers. The duplex “zipcord” design allows for simultaneous bi-directional (TX/RX) data flow.

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both blue LC connectors are manufactured with a UPC finish, providing a low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and a high return loss (≥ 50dB) to maintain a clean, stable signal.

• Compact 1.0m Length: Ideal for “in-rack” patching between adjacent hardware. This short length prevents cable clutter, improves airflow, and makes for a professional, organized cabinet.

• Standard Yellow Jacket: The vibrant yellow jacket is the universal identifier for Single-mode fiber, making it easy to distinguish from multimode (orange or aqua) cables at a glance.

Best Use Case

The NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-1M is the perfect solution for critical uplink connections. It is most commonly used to connect SFP+ or QSFP LR (Long Reach) transceivers in a network switch to a fiber distribution panel, facilitating high-speed backbone access for enterprise or ISP networks.
