Patchcord SM LC/APC-LC/APC duplex 9/125 2.0m ALANTEC FOC-LCALCA-9SMD-2

Fiber optic patch cord LC/APC – reliable connections in fiber optic networks

This dual-fiber patch cord from ALANTEC, terminated with LC/APC connectors, is an ideal solution for building and expanding fiber optic networks. The 2-meter cable, made of single-mode (SM) 9/125 µm fiber, provides stable and fast data transmission. APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors minimize back reflection loss, resulting in higher connection quality and better network performance.

Construction and application

Single-mode patch cords, such as this model, are a key element in network infrastructure. They are used to connect active devices (e.g., switches, routers) and passive devices (e.g., patch panels) in distribution points. They are suitable for a variety of applications:

• Telecommunication networks
• LAN/WAN networks
• CCTV installations
• FTTx (Fiber to the X) technology

The use of high-quality components guarantees reliability and long-term operation. The yellow jacket makes it easier to identify single-mode cables in the installation.

Characteristic features and benefits

This patch cord stands out with a number of features that affect its functionality and performance:

• Low attenuation: Ensures minimal signal loss during data transmission, resulting in greater range and connection stability.
• LC/APC connectors: Provide precise optical connection and minimize signal reflections, improving transmission quality. The angle of the APC connectors reduces back reflection of light.
• High-quality ceramic ferrules: Guarantee precision and durability of the optical connection.
• G.652D fiber: Standard single-mode fiber providing optimal performance in most network applications.
• LSOH (Low Smoke Halogen): The cable jacket with reduced flammability and emission of toxic gases increases safety in the event of a fire. Compliance with IEC 60332-3-24 standards ensures a high level of fire protection.
• RoHS compliant: Indicates the absence of harmful substances in the cable composition, which is in line with environmental requirements.
• Mechanical strength: Resistant to crushing (up to 1000 N/10cm) and tensile strength (up to 44N), ensuring its durability even in difficult installation conditions.

This patch cord is a solid choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable solution for building or expanding a fiber optic network.
