Hubbell DFHPCLCLCS3SM Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell DFHPCLCLCS3SM is a 3-meter, duplex, single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure. Its yellow jacket simplifies identification in crowded racks, and the LC-LC connector configuration ensures compatibility with standard network equipment. This cord is critical for establishing stable connections between network devices, such as switches, routers, and servers, particularly in environments requiring high bandwidth and low signal loss.

Compatibility

This patch cord utilizes standard LC connectors, making it compatible with a wide range of network equipment that features LC ports. This includes most modern managed switches, media converters, and fiber optic transceivers from various manufacturers. The single-mode fiber type is intended for long-haul transmission and is not backward compatible with multi-mode fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 1-2 inches for single-mode fiber) to maintain signal integrity and prevent fiber damage. The 3-meter length is suitable for standard rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections within a single cabinet or adjacent racks.
