Fibre optic cable LANBERG FO-SULU-SD11-0020-YE, 2 m, G.657.A1, SC to LC, yellow

LANBERG FO-SULU-SD11-0020-YE is a 2 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable with an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other. The cable uses G.657.A1 bend-insensitive single-mode fibre (9/125 µm) in a duplex LSZH jacket with a 3.0 mm diameter, designed for indoor installations and data centre interconnects where low insertion loss and easy identification are required.

Advantages

The cable provides low insertion loss (< 0.25 dB) and high return loss (> 50 dB) thanks to UPC polishing, while the G.657.A1 fibre offers improved bend performance with a minimum bend radius of 10 mm. The LSZH coating reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the yellow colour simplifies identification of single-mode links. Operating temperature range is -40 to 85 °C.

Suitable for

• Indoor fibre patching and cross-connects in telecom and data centre racks
• Short interconnects between network equipment with mixed SC and LC ports
• Installations requiring bend-insensitive single-mode fibre

How to use

Route the duplex cable between devices ensuring connectors are clean before mating. Insert the SC connector into the SC port and the LC connector into the LC port until they click or seat securely. Avoid tight bends beyond the specified minimum bend radius and secure the cable to reduce strain on connectors. For best optical performance, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector end-faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools prior to connection.

Recommendations

Use this LANBERG SC–LC G.657.A1 patch cable for short-distance indoor fibre links in racks and enclosures; maintain the minimum bend radius of 10 mm and keep connector end-faces clean to ensure low-loss connections.
