SpeedyFiberTX LC to LC 1m Singlemode Duplex Patch Cable

SpeedyFiberTX 6-pack LC to LC 1-meter patch cables are duplex singlemode fiber leads built with Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber and OFNR-rated 2.0mm yellow zipcord jackets for reliable, low-loss optical links.

These pre-terminated LC–LC cables deliver consistent singlemode performance for rack, cabinet and equipment-level connections. Each cable is manufactured with Corning SMF-28 Ultra optical fiber, tested for insertion and return loss, and finished with color-coded heat-shrink boots for quick visual channel identification. The slim 2.0mm duplex construction and riser-rated PVC jacket make the set easy to route in patch panels, networking closets and tight cable runs.

How good is the signal quality on these LC–LC singlemode patch cords?

Each connector termination is inspected and tested to maintain low insertion loss and high return loss. The combination of Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber and ceramic ferrules helps preserve signal integrity across the specified wavelength range.

• Insertion loss ≤ 0.2 dB per mated pair
• Return loss ≥ 50 dB for low back reflection
• Attenuation: ≤ 0.32 dB/km at 1310 nm, ≤ 0.18 dB/km at 1550 nm
• Operating wavelength range: 1285–1625 nm

Will these patch cables fit in my data center or FTTH equipment?

The LC duplex connectors are compatible with a broad range of equipment including SFP transceivers, switches, media converters and patch panels used in data centers and access networks. The 1-meter length is ideal for short interconnects and clean cabinet routing.

• Duplex LC to LC termination for common networking ports
• Works with SFP modules and LC ports on switches and transceivers
• Slim 2.0mm zipcord profile for high-density cabinets
• Yellow jacket indicates singlemode fiber per industry color coding

How durable and safe are these cables for indoor installations?

The cables use a riser-rated OFNR PVC jacket suitable for vertical riser runs and standard indoor pathways. Connectors use ceramic ferrules and short boots to minimize strain at the termination for reliable mechanical performance.

• Riser OFNR-rated PVC 2.0mm zipcord jacket
• Ceramic ferrule LC connectors for consistent endface geometry
• Color-coded heat-shrink boots for channel identification and reduced handling errors
• Operational temperature range from -20°C to +70°C

What makes Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber advantageous for networks?

SMF-28 Ultra combines low attenuation with improved bend performance, offering compatibility with legacy singlemode networks while reducing signal degradation on tight bends. It suits regional, metro, FTTH, and other singlemode deployments.

• ITU-T G.652D compliant with enhanced low-loss characteristics
• Improved macrobend performance exceeding G.657.A1 expectations
• Designed for long-haul, metro, access and FTTH applications
• Backward compatible with installed legacy singlemode fibers

Who is this for: Network engineers, IT managers and technicians who need compact, tested singlemode patch cords for equipment-to-equipment connections will appreciate this 6-pack. It’s well suited for high-density racks, telecom closets, storage area networks and FTTH cross-connects where low loss, reliable terminations and clear visual channel identification matter. If you require longer runs or outdoor-rated cable, consider alternative lengths or jackets; for short, indoor singlemode links that demand consistent performance, these SpeedyFiberTX cables are a practical choice.
