Fiber optic patch cord SM LC/APC-LC/UPC duplex 3.0 mm LSZH G657A1 0.5m yellow FO-LALU-SD11-0005-YE

Fiber optic cable for fast data transmission

This fiber optic patch cord is a reliable solution for building and expanding networks where high bandwidth and connection stability are required. The cable is designed for professional installations but will also work well in home applications where quality and performance are important. It uses single-mode (SM) fiber type G657A1, which guarantees minimal signal loss over long distances.

Construction and parameters

The patch cord combines LC/APC connectors on one side and LC/UPC on the other, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices. The duplex construction means that one cable contains two optical fibers, allowing simultaneous data transmission and reception. The cable diameter of 3.0 mm ensures convenient cable routing and minimizes the risk of mechanical damage. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) coating is an important safety feature – in the event of a fire, it releases significantly fewer toxic substances than traditional PVC coatings. Insertion loss below 0.20 dB and return loss above 50 dB indicate high quality workmanship and minimize signal loss.

Application and benefits

This patch cord is ideal for:

• Connecting network devices: switches, routers, media converters.
• Building structured cabling: in offices, data centers, server rooms.
• Implementing fiber optic connections: over short distances (0.5m) where precision and reliability are required.
• Installations requiring high resistance to interference: thanks to the use of single-mode fiber.
• Indoor applications: thanks to the LSZH coating providing fire safety.

The use of G657A1 fiber allows for tight bending of the cable (minimum bending radius 10 mm), which facilitates installation in confined spaces. The yellow color makes it easier to identify the cable in the installation. A wide operating temperature range (-40 – 85 °C) guarantees reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions.
