Hubbell FDLC3SM Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell FDLC3SM is a 3-meter, duplex, singlemode fiber optic patch cord terminated with LC connectors on both ends. Its riser-rated (CMR) jacket makes it suitable for use in vertical pathways within commercial buildings, ensuring reliable data transmission for network infrastructure where fire safety codes are a consideration. This cable is designed for connecting network equipment, such as fiber optic transceivers, patch panels, and active network devices, providing a direct link for optical signals.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with singlemode fiber optic transceivers (SFP, SFP+, QSFP) and network switches, routers, and media converters that utilize LC connectors. The 9/125µm singlemode fiber construction ensures compatibility with high-bandwidth, long-distance applications common in enterprise and carrier networks.

Installation Notes

When installing the Hubbell FDLC3SM, maintain a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch (25.4mm) to prevent signal loss or damage to the fiber core. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Ensure LC connectors are clean before insertion into ports to prevent contamination, which can degrade performance. The riser-rated jacket is intended for use in vertical runs within building plenums and risers, but consult local building codes for specific installation requirements.
