Add-On ADD-MODE-SCLC5-3 3M LC (male) to SC (male) Duplex Riser-rated Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-MODE-SCLC5-3 is a 3-meter, duplex, riser-rated fiber optic patch cable. It features LC male connectors on one end and SC male connectors on the other, terminated with an orange jacket suitable for plenum or riser environments. This cable is designed for connecting network devices like switches, routers, or media converters in structured cabling systems where fiber optic transmission is required.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring LC or SC fiber optic ports, respectively. It is suitable for use with fiber optic transceivers (SFPs, SFP+, QSFP) that utilize these connector types. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals, essential for most fiber optic network links.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation. The riser-rated (OFNR) jacket is suitable for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings, but not for use in air-handling (plenum) spaces where plenum-rated (OFNP) cable is mandated. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius (typically 10x connector height for LC, 20x for SC) to prevent fiber damage and signal loss.
