The LC-SC single-mode network patch cord (2 meters) is a specialized fiber-optic solution designed to bridge devices with different connector interfaces while delivering the long-distance performance of single-mode fiber. This 2-meter length makes it ideal for short-haul connections—such as linking a LC-equipped server to an SC-enabled switch in a data center rack, or connecting a single-mode transceiver to a patch panel in a telecom closet—where space is constrained and a compact, precise length avoids cable clutter.
At its core, this patch cord uses 9/125um single-mode fiber, which features a narrow 9μm glass core that transmits a single light beam, minimizing modal dispersion. This allows it to support ultra-long transmission distances (up to 100 km or more at wavelengths like 1310nm/1550nm) and high data rates, including 10 Gbps (10GBASE-LR), 40 Gbps (40GBASE-LR4), and 100 Gbps (100GBASE-LR4)—even in its 2-meter form, it retains single-mode’s resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), a key advantage over copper cables in industrial or high-voltage environments.
The dual-connector design (LC on one end, SC on the other) addresses a common challenge in mixed-hardware setups. The LC connector is a small-form-factor (SFF) interface, half the size of SC, making it perfect for high-density devices like modern servers or compact switches where space is at a premium. It uses a push-pull latching mechanism for secure, low-loss connections (<0.3dB insertion loss) and easy installation. The SC connector, with its square, robust design and locking tab, is often found on older switches, patch panels, or telecom equipment—its durability makes it ideal for frequent handling, and its larger size simplifies connection with gloved hands.
Constructed with a durable jacket (PVC or LSZH) to protect the fiber from abrasion and physical damage, and reinforced stress points near the connectors to prevent breakage, this 2-meter cord ensures long-term reliability. It complies with international standards like TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and IEC 61754, guaranteeing compatibility with all single-mode LC and SC hardware. Whether used in data centers, enterprise campus networks, or telecom facilities, the LC-SC single-mode patch cord (2 meters) offers a flexible, high-performance solution for bridging interface gaps in short-haul, long-distance-capable setups.
