SpeedyFiberTX LC-LC 0.2m Singlemode Patch Cable 6-Pack

SpeedyFiberTX 6-pack LC to LC 0.20m patch cables are short, high-performance duplex singlemode leads built with Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber and OFNR riser jackets for reliable, low-loss connections in data centers and network closets.

These ultra-short 0.20 meter LC-to-LC patch cords use Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode optical fiber with ceramic ferrules in duplex LC connectors, delivering excellent insertion and return loss for SFP modules, switches, transceivers and patch panels. The cables ship as a six-pack with yellow zipcord jackets and color-coded heat-shrink boots for straightforward channel identification. They are riser-rated (OFNR) PVC and tested to industry standards so installers can rely on consistent optical performance in short-reach applications.

How good is the optical performance for short patch connections?

These patch cables are built to minimize loss and reflection at short reach. Insertion loss is guaranteed at ≤ 0.2 dB and return loss meets ≥ 50 dB, making them well suited for high-density links and equipment interfaces where signal margins are tight.

• Insertion loss: ≤ 0.2 dB per connector pair
• Return loss: ≥ 50 dB for low reflections
• Attenuation: ≤ 0.32 dB/km at 1310 nm; ≤ 0.18 dB/km at 1550 nm
• Operating wavelength: 1285–1625 nm for broad compatibility

Are these cables easy to install and identify in racks?

Yes—the 2.0 mm slim zipcord profile and short LC duplex boots make routing and plugging into dense panels quick and tidy. Color-coded heat-shrink tubing marks each fiber: yellow-to-yellow and white-to-white, so technicians can instantly tell transmit and receive channels apart.

• Slim 2.0 mm zipcord reduces congestion in patch panels
• Short LC boots clear tight ports and adjacent connectors
• Heat-shrink color coding speeds correct polarity and troubleshooting
• Lightweight, flexible OFNR jacket for neat cable management

What materials and standards ensure reliability?

These cords use Corning SMF-28 Ultra optical fiber, a recognized industry leader for low loss and improved bend performance, combined with ceramic ferrules and LC duplex connectors. The assembly complies with ITU, TIA, IEC, UL and RoHS standards, and each connector is tested for insertion and return loss before shipping.

• Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber with G.652D/G.657.A1-compatible performance
• Ceramic ferrule LC connectors for repeatable mechanical precision
• OFNR-rated PVC zipcord jacket for riser installations
• 100% inspection and test on insertion loss and return loss

Will these work with modern transceivers and network equipment?

Yes—the LC duplex termination and singlemode 9/125 µm fiber match common SFP, SFP+, XFP and other singlemode transceivers, as well as enterprise switches, media converters and optical patch panels. The full-spectrum fiber supports typical telecom and datacom wavelengths used in access, metro and interconnect applications.

• Compatible with SFP and optical transceivers using LC interfaces
• Supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelength operation
• Ideal for short interconnects in racks, SANs and fiber enclosures
• Backward compatible with legacy singlemode fiber infrastructure

Who is this for: network engineers, data center technicians, integrators and AV professionals who need reliable, short-length singlemode patch leads that save space and reduce loss. If you’re building dense patching fields, prepping equipment labs, or terminating transceivers where consistent low insertion loss and easy identification matter, this 6-pack from SpeedyFiberTX offers tested performance, clean routing and industry-standard connectors without the bulk of thicker cabling.
