Fibre optic cable LANBERG 2 m LC to LC G.657.A1, yellow

LANBERG fibre optic cable, 2 m length with LC to LC connectors, single-mode G.657.A1. The cable features a 9/125 µm core-cladding structure, 0.9 mm diameter buffered fibre and UPC-polished LC connectors on both ends. The yellow LSZH jacket provides easy identification in rack and trunk installations while meeting low-smoke zero-halogen safety requirements. This LANBERG pigtail is designed for linking networking equipment, patch panels and optical transceivers where bend-insensitive single-mode performance is required.

Advantages

The G.657.A1 fibre construction offers improved bend tolerance compared with standard single-mode fibres, reducing signal loss in tight routing and cabinet environments. UPC polishing on LC connectors ensures low back-reflection and stable optical performance. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and the yellow color facilitates cable management. The 2 m length and 0.9 mm buffered design allow straightforward termination and routing in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers to patch panels or switches
• Interconnecting active networking equipment in server rooms and data centres
• Short horizontal or rack-side fibre runs requiring bend-insensitive single-mode cable
• FTTx customer premises connections and indoor cabling with LSZH safety needs

How to use

Route the fibre carefully to avoid sharp bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius despite the cable’s bend-insensitive design. Clean connector end-faces before mating using proper fibre cleaning tools to maintain low insertion loss and return loss. Insert LC connectors into the appropriate ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches until they click into place. When not connected, protect connector end caps to prevent contamination and physical damage.

Recommendations

Use a fibre-cleaning kit and inspection microscope to verify connector end-face condition before installation. Secure the cable with appropriate fibre management accessories to avoid repeated bending and tension. For long-term installations in occupied buildings, prefer LSZH-jacketed cables like this LANBERG product to minimize smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire.
