Hubbell SFHRCLCSCAS1SM Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell SFHRCLCSCAS1SM is a 1-meter, single-mode, simplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector on the other, terminated with a yellow, riser-rated jacket. This specific configuration is crucial for connecting network devices where precise optical alignment and minimal back reflection are required, such as in fiber-to-the-desk or interconnect applications within a building's riser pathway.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, or patch panels that utilize LC and SC APC connectors. The single-mode fiber type is intended for use with single-mode network equipment, supporting longer transmission distances than multimode fiber. The riser-rated jacket (CMG) is suitable for use in vertical pathways within commercial buildings, as per NEC standards, but not for plenum spaces.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure the SC connector is seated correctly into its APC port to maintain the angled polish's low back reflection. Avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius (typically 1 inch for single-mode fiber) to prevent signal loss or damage. Clean both LC and SC connector end-faces before mating to prevent contamination, which can degrade performance.
