LC-LC Duplex Aqua Fiber Optic Patch Cable, ShiverPeaks 08-10202, LC to LC duplex

ShiverPeaks LC-LC Duplex Aqua Fiber Optic Patch Cable (LC to LC duplex) is a multimode duplex patch cord in an aqua outer jacket designed for short-distance optical connections. It provides duplex LC terminations on both ends for compatibility with LC ports commonly used in data centers, patch panels, switches and fiber distribution frames. The cable is intended for multimode networks and offers a compact LC connector format to support high-density installations and standard multimode transceivers.

Advantages

The cable delivers a standardized LC-to-LC duplex interface for easy installation and reliable mating with LC ports. Its aqua jacket color identifies multimode OM2/OM3/OM4 cabling environments, simplifying cable management and visual identification in racks and distribution frames. The duplex construction maintains correct polarity alignment and reduced insertion loss for short-range multimode links, supporting predictable optical performance in patching and equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections in data centers and server rooms
• Patching between switches, transceivers and fiber patch panels
• Fiber distribution frames and high-density rack installations
• Multimode network links using LC duplex ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Fiber type: multimode
• Jacket color: aqua (multimode identification)
• Polarity: duplex configuration for correct TX/RX alignment
• Typical use range: short-distance/multimode applications (patching)

How to use

Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Verify polarity alignment so transmit and receive ports match on connected devices. Route the cable through cable management panels or cable ties without sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to avoid increased attenuation. For daily operation, avoid touching connector endfaces and keep protective dust caps in place when connectors are not mated.

Recommendations

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools if contamination is visible. Use this LC-LC duplex multimode cable for short campus or data center patching and pair it with compatible multimode transceivers and LC ports. Store and route the cable in cable trays or management panels to prevent excessive bending and mechanical strain.
