Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS71V517 8M OS2 LC to SC Duplex Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS71V517 is an 8-meter, duplex, single-mode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, terminated with OS2 fiber. This cable is designed for reliable data transmission in environments requiring high bandwidth and long-distance connectivity, such as connecting network switches, servers, or surveillance equipment where clean signal integrity is paramount. Its construction ensures minimal signal loss over its 8-meter length.

Compatibility

This FCDUS71V517 patch cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC and SC fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of enterprise switches, routers, servers, and surveillance NVRs/DVRs from manufacturers such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Dell, HP, Ubiquiti, and Axis Communications, provided they utilize single-mode fiber connections with LC and SC interfaces. It is suitable for use with 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, as well as standard Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure the LC and SC connectors are clean before insertion to prevent debris from affecting performance or damaging the port. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as single-mode fiber is more sensitive to tight radii than multi-mode fiber. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25mm (1 inch) to prevent signal degradation. The duplex configuration requires two fiber strands for full bidirectional communication.
