5M SC-LC SM OS1/OS2 Simplex Patch Lead

The 5 m SC-LC SM OS1/OS2 Simplex Patch Lead is a premium single-mode fibre optic cable designed for reliable, high-speed connectivity in telecommunications, data centres, and structured cabling systems. Featuring an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, this patch lead allows seamless interconnection between patch panels, optical transceivers, and network devices.

Manufactured with 9/125 µm single-mode fibre, it supports long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss and excellent bandwidth. The simplex design contains a single fibre strand, ideal for one-way optical links. Precision-polished ceramic ferrules ensure low insertion loss and high return loss for consistent, stable optical performance.

The durable yellow LSZH or PVC jacket provides protection, flexibility, and clear identification of single-mode fibre. With a 2 mm outer diameter, this 5 m patch lead is easy to route and manage, making it perfect for high-density network racks and cabinets.
