LC Fiber Patch Cords

Wave2Wave LC to LC fiber cable assemblies are factory-terminated LC duplex patch cords manufactured in 3-inch length increments for data center, telecom, and enterprise applications. LC to LC fiber patch cable options include single mode (OS2 9/125μm), multimode OM3 (10G up to 300m), OM4 (10G up to 550m, 100G up to 150m), and OM5 wideband multimode for SWDM applications.

LC connector specifications: 1.25mm ferrule, push-pull latching mechanism, field-proven reliability with over 500 mating cycles. LC to LC fiber connector assemblies available in PC (physical contact), UPC (ultra physical contact), and APC (angled physical contact 8 degree) polish types. LC fiber optic cable assemblies support data rates from 1G to 400G depending on fiber grade and transceiver specifications.

Single mode fiber patch cord (OS2) and multimode fiber patch cord options: Single mode patch cable for long-reach applications using 9/125μm fiber for transmission up to 10km+ with appropriate transceivers. SM fiber patch cable and sm fiber patch cord for telecom, ISP, and long-distance data center applications. Multimode fiber patch cable (OM3/OM4/OM5) for short-reach high-bandwidth connectivity with lower-cost VCSEL-based transceivers.

LC uniboot patch cord design: High-density LC uniboot patch cable uses a single boot to house both fibers, reducing cable diameter and improving bend performance for dense patch panel environments. LC uniboot cable features polarity-reversible design allowing field-swappable polarity without re-termination. Ideal for data center patch panel consolidation and high-density cross-connect applications.

Fiber patch cable specifications: Factory-terminated with 100% insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL) testing to IEC and TIA standards. Serialized test reports included with each assembly. Custom jacket colors available including aqua (OM3/OM4), lime (OM5), yellow (OS2), and custom color-coding for network segmentation. Jacket ratings include OFNR (riser), OFNP (plenum), and LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) for various code compliance requirements.

LC fiber patch cable and LC fiber cable applications: data center top-of-rack patching, spine-leaf architecture interconnect, server-to-switch connectivity, cross-connect to backbone fiber, telecom central office distribution, campus network backbone, and enterprise network patching. Wave2Wave LC to LC fiber cable assemblies are trusted by hyperscalers, colocation providers, system integrators, and enterprise IT teams.

Fiber jumpers and fiber patchcords terminology: LC to LC fiber cables are commonly called LC patch cords, LC fiber jumpers, LC duplex jumpers, or simply fiber jumpers. Wave2Wave provides all variations with factory termination, custom lengths, and compliance documentation for enterprise and government procurement.
