Singlemode Duplex Patch Cable

This 2 m yellow fiber patch cable connects two LC ports in singlemode networks. It suits data-centre cross-connects, telecom rooms and desk-side links where OS2 performance is required. Builders needing multimode or longer runs should choose a different cable.

Bend-Insensitive G.657.A1 Fiber

Corning ultra-pure glass with bend-insensitive design keeps attenuation low when the 2.0 mm jacket is routed tightly. UPC polish on both LC ends improves return loss for stable 40G Ethernet signals. The cable carries an OFNR rating and ships with a factory test report.

LC-to-LC Duplex Build Fit

Duplex LC connectors plug directly into compatible transceivers or patch panels without adapters. The 6.6 ft length reaches adjacent rack units while leaving slack for cable management. No external power or active components are needed for the passive link.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2 m LC-to-LC singlemode patch cable without exceeding its bend radius?

Route the yellow duplex cable so no bend is tighter than the G.657.A1 limit; the bend-insensitive Corning fiber tolerates tighter corners than standard OS2, but sharp kinks still raise loss. Clean both UPC ferrule faces with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol before inserting into the LC ports until they click.

What maintenance or replacement will this duplex singlemode patch cord need over time?

Inspect the LC/UPC end faces before each reconnect; clean with a one-click cleaner if return loss rises. The Corning glass and OFNR jacket are rated for the life of the link, so replacement is only needed if the cable is crushed, kinked, or the connectors are physically damaged.

At what point does signal loss become the limiting factor on a 40G Ethernet run using this 9/125 µm cable?

The 2 m length adds negligible attenuation; the first limit under sustained 40G use is typically the transceiver's launch power and receiver sensitivity budget, not the patch cord itself.
