Hubbell DFHPCLCLCS12SM Single Mode Duplex LC-LC Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell DFHPCLCLCS12SM is a 12-meter, yellow, single-mode, duplex fiber optic patch cord terminated with LC connectors on both ends. This cable is engineered for reliable data transmission in environments requiring high bandwidth and low signal loss, such as connecting network switches to fiber optic transceivers or extending connections within a structured cabling system. The single-mode fiber type ensures signal integrity over longer distances compared to multimode, making it suitable for backbone connections or longer horizontal runs in commercial installations. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use with any network equipment featuring standard LC fiber optic ports. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, routers, media converters, and fiber optic transceivers (SFPs, XFPs, etc.) that support single-mode fiber. Specific compatibility extends to equipment utilizing LC connectors for single-mode duplex connections, common in enterprise networking, data centers, and surveillance system backbones.

Installation Notes

When installing the DFHPCLCLCS12SM, ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation and potential damage. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by Hubbell to maintain optical performance. The cable jacket is rated for indoor use and should be protected from excessive heat, moisture, and physical abrasion. Torque specifications for LC connectors are typically low; do not overtighten when seating.
