SpeedyFiberTX 1-Pack 500ft LC-LC Duplex Patch Cable | Corning SMF-28, Yellow Riser OFNR

Overview

Meet SpeedyFiberTX's LC to LC duplex patch cable—a compact, 500-foot link designed for clean, dependable fiber connectivity. Built with Corning SMF-28 ultra optical fiber, this cable emphasizes low attenuation and solid bend performance across typical singlemode wavelengths. The bright yellow riser jacket helps technicians visually trace routes in crowded racks or conduits, while the 2.0 mm zipcord profile and short boots on the LC duplex connectors simplify routing through tight spaces and patch panels.

Engineered for modern networks, this patch cord pairs ease of handling with a robust, field-friendly design. It is suited for data centers, enterprise campuses, metro deployments, and fiber-to-the-home scenarios where reliable signal transmission and organized cable management matter. The color-coding, lightweight feel, and tested terminations all contribute to a smoother installation experience without compromising performance or safety.

Performance and compatibility

This cable balances precision and practicality. Insertion loss is rated at ≤ 0.2 dB, while return loss is ≥ 50 dB, supporting clean, stable links. Attenuation at 1310 nm is ≤ 0.32 dB/km and at 1550 nm is ≤ 0.18 dB/km, with an operating window from 1285 to 1625 nm that aligns with common ITU-T standards. The fiber is ITU-T G.652D compliant, featuring Corning’s enhanced bend performance, and the jacket is OFNR-rated, making it suitable for indoor riser installations. LC duplex terminations are ceramic ferrule-based for dependable connections, and each termination is subject to quality testing to ensure dependable network performance.
