LC Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Short Description:

LC fiber optic patch cord refers to a type of fiber optic cable assembly that is terminated with LC connectors on both ends. The LC connector is a small form factor connector commonly used in fiber optic communications. It features a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule and a push-pull latching mechanism, making it easy to insert and remove.

LC fiber optic patch cords are widely used in various applications, including data centers, telecommunications networks, local area networks (LANs), and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations. They are used to establish optical connections between different devices, such as switches, routers, servers, and optical transceivers.

LC patch cords are available in different configurations to suit different fiber types, including single-mode (OS2) and multimode (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4) fibers. They can also be customized with different cable lengths, cable types (such as PVC or LSZH), and connector polishing types (such as UPC or APC).
