Lightwin Single-Mode LC–LC Fiber-Optic Patch Cable, OS2, Duplex, 30 m

Single-Mode LC–LC Duplex OS2 30 m

All LIGHTWIN fiber-optic patch cables are manufactured using special ferrules and processing methods to ensure a high-quality product. These cables are suitable for all fiber-optic applications in a wide range of telecommunications fields. Typical applications include patching in data centers, server or network cabinets, as well as FTTH (Fiber to the Home). By using single-mode ferrules for LIGHTWIN multimode patch cables and specially selected ferrules with extremely tight tolerances for LIGHTWIN single-mode patch cables, attenuation levels far exceeding the required ISO/IEC standards are achieved.

LC Connector

The LC connector is a high-performance fiber-optic connector for single-mode and multimode applications and is characterized by low insertion loss. It is one of the most common fiber-optic connector types. The design of the LC connector is based on a single-fiber ceramic ferrule with a diameter of 1.25 mm for a fiber-optic cable. Thanks to its compact design, the LC connector allows for high packing density, which is why it is frequently used for fiber-optic switches.

General Information on Fiber-Optic Cables

Equivalent terms for fiber-optic patch cables include, among others: patch cable, adapter cable, connection cable, jumper. While a conventional signal in a copper cable can be exposed to electrical interference, fiber-optic cables operate with light. Therefore, they cannot be influenced by external electromagnetic interference, nor can a fiber-optic cable affect other lines or signals, as a fiber-optic cable does not emit any radiation. The low attenuation of optical cables also makes it possible to cover distances of well over 100 km without optical amplification.
