Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-1M Patch Cord

The Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-1M Patch Cord connects LC ports with duplex single-mode fiber for low-loss links. This 1-meter LSZH cable ensures secure data transmission in tight spaces. Novatech Technologies supplies this high-performance cord for telecom and enterprise networks, offering durability and compliance for modern infrastructures.

Detailed Use Cases and Compatibility

Data Center Interconnections

Network engineers deploy this patch cord for switch-to-server connections in racks. The duplex LC UPC ends support 10GBASE-SR over 550 meters with OM3 multimode. Its 1-meter length prevents excess slack in dense cabinets. Ideal for hyperscale facilities optimizing airflow and cable management.

FTTH Distribution Frames

Installers use this cord in ODFs for ONT-to- splitter links in residential deployments. The single-mode design handles GPON signals with minimal attenuation. UPC polish reduces reflections for clear voice and video. Compatible with Huawei MA5680 series OLTs for scalable broadband.

Enterprise Switch Patching

IT teams connect this cord between core switches and access layer devices. It integrates with Cisco Catalyst 9000 for unified communications. The LSZH jacket suits plenum-rated ceilings in offices. Pair it with networking modules for hybrid fiber-copper setups.

Testing and Lab Environments

Technicians link this cord to OTDRs for fiber certification in labs. The duplex configuration allows bidirectional testing without reconfiguration. It withstands repeated insertions in development benches. For testing tools, explore computer accessories including power meters.

Technical Specifications

Connector and Fiber Profile

Duplex LC to LC UPC connectors feature ceramic ferrules for precision mating. Single-mode G.652.D fiber with 9/125 μm core/cladding ensures low dispersion. Blue boots indicate UPC polish for standard applications. Each connector exceeds 500 mating cycles without degradation.

Optical Transmission Metrics

Insertion loss under 0.2 dB per end for total link budget efficiency. Return loss above 50 dB minimizes back reflections in laser systems. Wavelength support from 1310 nm to 1550 nm for CWDM compatibility. Polarization mode dispersion below 0.1 ps/√km for 10G+ speeds.

Cable Jacket and Construction

1-meter length with low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket for fire safety. 2 mm round duplex cable diameter eases routing in trays. Aramid yarn strength members provide 100 N tensile pull resistance. Minimum bend radius 20 mm loaded to protect against kinking.

Environmental and Durability Ratings

Operates from -20°C to +70°C, with 95% humidity tolerance for indoor use. Flame propagation meets IEC 60332-1-2 for vertical burn tests. RoHS compliant with halogen-free materials. For LC connector performance, refer to IEC 61754-20 standards.

Compliance and Testing Assurance

Tested per TIA/EIA 568-B for category OS2 cabling. Endface geometry verified to IEC 61755-3-2 for UPC polish. Pull-test certified to 44 N without optical shift. Includes factory test report for traceability in audits.
