Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes singlemode technology, which supports longer transmission distances and higher bandwidth compared to multimode fibers. The 9/125 µm core/cladding design is standard for OS2 cables, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths commonly used in long-haul and metropolitan network applications. The LC and SC connectors are industry-standard interfaces known for their precise alignment and low insertion loss, ensuring stable optical performance.
The cable is constructed with durable materials that protect the fiber core from environmental factors such as bending, crushing, and moisture. Its yellow outer jacket not only provides color coding but also offers additional protection against physical wear. The lifetime warranty underscores the manufacturer's confidence in its build quality and long-term reliability.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers reliable optical connectivity with low signal loss, making it suitable for demanding network environments. Its combination of LC and SC connectors provides compatibility with a wide range of network equipment, from switches and routers to media converters and patch panels.
Long-Distance Performance
Singlemode fiber supports distances up to 10 km or more, ideal for backbone and inter-building links.

Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to SC fiber optic cable is commonly used in data centers to connect network switches to storage arrays or servers. Its 30-meter length makes it suitable for cross-connect applications between racks or within a server room. Telecom operators deploy such cables for connecting optical line terminals (OLTs) to distribution frames or for patch cord applications in central offices.
Enterprise networks benefit from this cable for linking network closets across floors or buildings. It is also used in security and surveillance systems for transmitting high-definition video over long distances without signal degradation. The simplex design is perfect for applications requiring a dedicated transmit or receive path, such as in point-to-point links or as part of a duplex pair when used with a matching cable.

FAQ
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber?
Singlemode fiber has a smaller core (9/125 µm) and uses a single light path, allowing longer transmission distances (up to 10 km or more) and higher bandwidth, typically with laser sources. Multimode fiber has a larger core (e.g., 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm) and supports multiple light modes, suited for shorter distances (up to 550 m) with LED sources. This cable is singlemode, making it ideal for long-haul network backbone links.
What devices are compatible with this LC to SC fiber optic cable?
This cable is compatible with network equipment featuring LC or SC fiber ports, such as switches, routers, media converters, patch panels, and optical transceivers. It is commonly used in data centers, telecom networks, and enterprise environments to connect devices that require singlemode fiber connectivity. Ensure your equipment supports singlemode fiber and the appropriate wavelengths (e.g., 1310nm or 1550nm) for optimal performance.
What does the 9/125 µm specification mean?
The 9/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the fiber. The core is 9 micrometers (µm) in diameter, which carries the light signal, and the cladding is 125 µm in diameter, which surrounds the core to reflect light back into it. This size is standard for OS2 singlemode fibers, optimized for low attenuation and high bandwidth over long distances, making it suitable for backbone and metropolitan network applications.
Can this cable be used outdoors or in harsh environments?
This cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments like data centers, server rooms, and office buildings. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider cables with additional protective features such as armored jackets, waterproofing, or UV resistance. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for environmental ratings if deployment in extreme conditions is planned.
