Fiber optic patch cord SM SC/UPC-LC/UPC duplex 3.0 mm LSZH G657A1 5m yellow FO-SULU-SD11-0050-YE

Fiber optic patch cord SC/UPC - LC/UPC, duplex, 5m

This fiber optic patch cord is a reliable connection for networks requiring high bandwidth and stability. It utilizes single-mode (SM) G657A1 fiber, guaranteeing minimal signal loss and excellent data transmission quality. Terminated with SC/UPC connectors on one side and LC/UPC on the other, it is ideal for connecting active and passive devices in fiber optic infrastructure.

Construction and parameters

The patch cord features a duplex construction, meaning it contains two fibers in a single sheath. The cable diameter is 3.0 mm, and the use of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in the event of a fire – it limits the emission of toxic substances during combustion. The fiber with a diameter of 9/125 µm is precisely polished using the UPC method, minimizing signal reflection loss.

High quality workmanship translates to low insertion loss (below 0.20 dB) and high reflection loss (above 60 dB), ensuring a stable and efficient connection. The cable operates in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C and maintains its mechanical properties even with a minimum bending radius of 10 mm. The yellow color facilitates identification and cable management.

Applications and benefits

This patch cord finds application in various fiber optic networks, such as:

• LAN/WAN networks
• Data centers
• Telecommunication systems
• Industrial installations
• Connections between active devices (switches, routers) and patch panels

The use of G657A1 fiber makes the cable more resistant to bending than standard fibers, making installation easier in tight spaces. The LSZH jacket increases safety in public buildings and places with increased fire safety requirements. The duplex construction allows for simultaneous data transmission in both directions, increasing network efficiency.
