Lightwave 3-Meter Single-Mode Duplex Fiber Patch Cord LC UPC to LC UPC (LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-3M)

The Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-3M fiber patch cord is a high-performance 3-meter duplex single-mode optical cable with LC UPC connectors on both ends and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for safe indoor installations. Designed for long-distance, high-speed networks such as data centers, enterprise backbones, and telecommunications infrastructure, this patch cord delivers low signal loss, high return loss, and reliable performance in demanding environments. It supports modern Ethernet speeds and is suitable for structured cabling where consistent optical quality and safety are priorities.

Product Features

Duplex LC UPC Connectors

The patch cord uses LC UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors at both ends, providing precise alignment and consistent optical performance for single-mode fiber links.

Single-Mode OS2 Fiber

Constructed with OS2 9/125 µm single-mode optical fiber, this patch cord is optimized for long-distance, low-loss data transmission in high-bandwidth applications.

LSZH Jacket for Safety

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket minimizes toxic emissions and smoke in the event of fire, enhancing safety in indoor and congested cable environments.

Low Insertion Loss and High Return Loss

Designed for efficient optical performance, the cable typically has low insertion loss and high return loss values at standard telecom wavelengths.

Bend-Insensitive and Flexible

The robust design with bend-resistant fiber and flexible jacket simplifies routing in cable trays and dense racks without compromising performance.

Wide Application Range

Suitable for connecting switches, servers, patch panels, and backbone links in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecom infrastructure.
