Product Overview

The LC-SC single-mode patch cord is the everyday bridge between two connector generations: high-density LC on modern switches and transceivers, and the push-pull SC interface that still dominates ODFs, PON splitters, media converters and CATV nodes worldwide. Precision ceramic ferrules hold insertion loss to ≤0.3 dB with APC return loss ≥60 dB.

OS2 9/125 G.652D fiber is standard, in simplex or duplex zipcord with PVC or LSZH jackets and UL/CPR fire ratings. SC/APC terminations for reflection-sensitive PON and RF-video links are stocked alongside UPC.

Every cord ships 100% interferometer-inspected and IL/RL tested, with OEM lengths, colors and mixed-polish builds (e.g. LC/UPC to SC/APC) made to order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order mixed polish, like LC/UPC to SC/APC?

Yes — mixed-polish cords are a stocked configuration for linking UPC equipment ports to APC distribution frames; the APC end is clearly color-coded green to prevent accidental UPC-APC mating damage.

What is the difference between UPC and APC polish?

UPC connectors have a domed end-face giving return loss ≥50 dB — ideal for most Ethernet and data links. APC connectors are polished at an 8° angle for ≥60 dB return loss, preferred for PON/CATV, RF-over-fiber and other reflection-sensitive systems.

Are the patch cords tested before shipment?

Every assembly undergoes 100% optical inspection plus insertion- and return-loss testing to IEC, TIA/EIA and Telcordia standards. Test reports are available on request.

Can length, color, jacket and connectors be customized?

Yes — length, jacket color and material (PVC / LSZH / OFNP / OFNR), cable diameter (0.9 / 2.0 / 3.0 mm) and any connector combination are OEM/ODM customizable.

What are your MOQ and lead time?

Standard configurations ship in 3–7 days with flexible MOQ. Custom OEM/ODM runs are quoted per project — send us your specs for a fast quotation.
