Tripp Lite 1-meter orange multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable with LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other

High-Performance Fiber Optic Connectivity with LC/SC Interface

This 1-meter multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable delivers enterprise-grade connectivity for critical network infrastructure. The 50/125 micron core provides optimal bandwidth for Gigabit and 10Gbps networks while maintaining backward compatibility with 62.5 micron systems. The precision-engineered LC and SC connectors ensure minimal signal loss, with factory-tested insertion loss of 0.2dB typical. The rugged plenum-rated jacket and 100,000 PSI proof-tested glass core make this cable ideal for both data center and building backbone applications. With superior attenuation characteristics of 3.5dB/KM @850NM and 1.0dB/KM @1300NM, this cable maintains signal integrity across the full length of the connection.
