Cable type and fit
This Cables To Go 28950 patch cord uses 9/125 single-mode fibre with duplex LC-to-SC connectors in a yellow PVC jacket. It suits installers linking switches or patch panels that mix LC and SC interfaces across campus or metro spans. Builders needing multi-mode cores or angled-polish ferrules should choose a different cable.
Reach and bandwidth headroom
The single-mode glass supports gigabit Ethernet and higher line rates over the full 16.4 ft length with ample margin for future speed upgrades. Maximum connector loss is specified at 0.5 dB per mated pair, so link budget stays predictable. Runs exceeding several kilometres would require amplification or lower-loss assemblies not covered here.
Physical profile and handling
Each SC plug measures 10.6 mm by 26 mm by 58 mm with the duplex clip fitted, while each LC plug measures 10.75 mm by 12.5 mm by 50 mm. The PVC sheath resists abrasion in tray or duct routing and meets standard flame ratings for indoor use. No active cooling or power is involved, so thermal and acoustic considerations do not apply.

Questions about this item
Will the SC connector on this 28950 cable fit the patch panel I already have?
The SC connector measures 10.6 mm high, 26 mm wide and 58 mm deep with the duplex clip installed, matching standard SC duplex panel cut-outs.
How can I confirm the link is healthy after I connect the LC ends to my switch?
Check the switch port LEDs for a solid green link light and run a ping test; a clean 9/125 single-mode run should show no packet loss.
Does the 16.4 ft yellow jacket include both LC and SC ends, or do I need extra pigtails?
The cable arrives with two LC male and two SC male connectors already terminated on a 5 m duplex single-mode PVC jacket.
