Hubbell FDLC5SM Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell FDLC5SM is a 5-meter duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in commercial installations. It features LC connectors on both ends, terminating singlemode fiber with a riser-rated (OFNR) jacket. This cord is critical for connecting network equipment, such as media converters or network switches, in environments where plenum-rated cables are not required but fire safety standards must be met. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals, common in many networking applications.

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 and network devices from various manufacturers, including those used in IP surveillance systems, building automation, and commercial AV deployments. Ensure your equipment uses LC duplex connectors for proper integration.

Installation Notes

When installing the Hubbell FDLC5SM, avoid sharp bends that exceed the fiber's minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or damage. The riser-rated jacket is suitable for vertical runs within non-plenum spaces in commercial buildings. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent performance degradation. The 5-meter length provides flexibility for moderate distances between devices.
