Description
0.3m LC to SC Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cables
1 Foot OM1 LC to SC Duplex Multimode Fiber Optic Cable
This 1-foot fiber optic patch cable is designed to connect network devices that have different optical interfaces, featuring a modern LC (Lucent Connector) on one end and a standard SC (Subscriber Connector) on the other. It's built with OM1 multimode fiber, which has a 62.5/125µm core and is easily identified by its orange jacket. This type of cable is a reliable solution for transmitting data in legacy local area networks, supporting 100 Megabit or 1 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. The duplex configuration consists of two fiber strands, enabling simultaneous, two-way data transmission. The precise 1-foot length is ideal for making clean, direct connections between equipment within the same server rack or cabinet, effectively eliminating cable clutter.
Bridging Fiber Optic Connections
The primary value of this hybrid connector cable is its ability to integrate networking hardware with dissimilar fiber ports. It acts as a bridge between older and newer equipment, allowing for flexible network configurations without requiring additional adapters. The cable's construction ensures a high-quality, dependable link for your infrastructure.
- Hybrid Connectivity: Seamlessly links a device with a small form-factor LC port to one with a push-pull SC port, which is common when connecting new switches or transceivers to existing patch panels.
- Legacy Network Support: OM1 fiber is a cost-effective choice for existing infrastructure built for 100/1000BASE-SX Ethernet speeds, providing stable performance for intra-building connections.
- Tidy Rack Management: The 1-foot length is perfect for patching between vertically stacked equipment, resulting in a neater installation that improves airflow and simplifies maintenance.
- Reliable Duplex Communication: The two-strand duplex design supports full-duplex traffic, allowing data to be sent and received at the same time for efficient network communication.
