Patch Cord LC-LC Single Mode DX 3M

The Netsys NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-3M is a high-performance Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cord designed for high-density networking and telecommunications applications. At 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), this cable is the ideal length for “in-rack” or “adjacent-rack” patching, offering superior signal integrity over both short and long-distance network segments.

Key Features

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Features a precision 9/125µm core designed for long-wavelength transmission (1310nm/1550nm). Single-mode fiber provides virtually unlimited bandwidth and much lower signal attenuation compared to multimode fiber.

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

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both blue LC connectors feature a UPC finish, ensuring an exceptionally low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and a high return loss (≥ 50dB), which is critical for error-free data transmission in high-speed networks.

• Versatile 3.0m Length: Perfect for connecting equipment within the same or adjacent server racks. It provides enough slack for clean routing through cable managers while avoiding the excessive bulk of longer cables.

• Standard Yellow Jacket: Wrapped in the industry-standard yellow jacket for OS2 fiber, ensuring instant visual identification to prevent accidental mixing with multimode infrastructure.

Best Use Case

The NS-LCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-3M is the preferred choice for critical 10G/40G/100G uplinks. It is most commonly used to connect SFP+ or QSFP LR (Long Reach) transceivers to fiber patch panels, facilitating high-speed backbone connections for enterprise networks, ISPs, and data centers.
