Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cable ShiverPeaks 77811 LC to SC 9/125µm OS1/OS2 5.0 m

Duplex fiber optic patch cable ShiverPeaks 77811 features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, using singlemode 9/125µm fiber rated OS1/OS2. With a total length of 5.0 m and a yellow jacket for easy identification, this cable is intended for data, telecom and LAN connections, patch panels and optical equipment interconnection where singlemode transmission and standard connector interfaces are required.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable singlemode optical transmission with low attenuation suitable for long-distance and high-bandwidth links. Duplex construction enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels within a single cable assembly, reducing cable clutter and simplifying routing. Standard LC and SC connectors ensure broad compatibility with networking devices, transceivers and patch panels, while the 9/125µm core/cladding geometry conforms to common singlemode fiber characteristics for consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and optical distribution frames in data centers and server rooms
• Point-to-point links between networking equipment such as switches, routers and optical transceivers
• Telecommunications and carrier access installations requiring singlemode connections
• LAN backbone runs and building-to-building fiber links over short to moderate distances

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode 9/125µm
• Optical grade: OS1/OS2 singlemode
• Connector A: LC (duplex)
• Connector B: SC (duplex)
• Configuration: duplex patch cable (two fibers)
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (industry standard for singlemode)

How to use

Route the duplex cable between devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding tight radii to prevent microbending loss. Orient the LC and SC connectors to match their respective ports on equipment or patch panels and insert until a positive click or secure seating is felt. Use the duplex clip or keyed features where present to maintain correct polarity. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch before pulling to avoid stressing the fiber. Inspect endfaces and, if necessary, clean with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool prior to connection to ensure optimal optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid kinks and excessive tensile loads; maintain minimum bend radius as specified for singlemode fiber. Clean connector endfaces before mating and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For critical links, verify insertion loss with optical test equipment after installation and follow industry best practices for fiber management and labeling.
