SC/LC Single-Mode Simplex Patch Cable

This LR-LINK fibre patch cable connects equipment with SC and LC interfaces using single-mode simplex fibre. Available in one-, two- or three-metre lengths, it is built for Fast Ethernet and Fibre Channel links. The cable uses a PVC jacket and ceramic ferrules to deliver low insertion loss and high return loss. It is suited to installers and network engineers who need a ready-made jumper for SFP transceivers.

Replacing Damaged or Mismatched Jumpers

The cord replaces an existing patch lead that has failed, has the wrong connector pairing, or is too short for a re-rack. Because it meets IEC quality-testing standards, the upgrade is worthwhile when measured loss on the old link exceeds the budget for the run. It also serves when a simplex connection must be added between two single-mode ports without splicing. No other cable type or fibre count is addressed by this product.

Suits Single-Mode Simplex Links Only

This jumper suits technicians terminating single-mode simplex circuits between SC and LC ports in LAN, CATV, instrument or telecom racks. It does not suit multimode installations, duplex circuits, or links requiring APC-polished end faces. Buyers needing higher fibre counts, armoured sheathing, or pre-terminated trunk cables should look at other products.

Questions about this item

What connector types and polish are on the SC and LC ends of this single-mode simplex patch cable?

The cable has an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, both single-mode simplex with ceramic ferrules.

How do I correctly insert the SC and LC connectors into an SFP transceiver without damaging the ceramic ferrules?

Remove dust caps, align the key on the SC connector and the tab on the LC connector, then push straight in until each clicks; never twist or force the ferrule.

When should I plan to clean or replace this patch cable to maintain low insertion loss?

Clean both connector end-faces with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol before every mating; replace the cable if visual inspection shows scratches, contamination that won't clean, or if insertion loss rises above your link budget.
