Lightwave Fiber Patch Cord LSZH SC APC to SC APC 5M (LW-PC-SCA-SCA-DX-SM-5M)

The Lightwave LW-PC-SCA-SCA-DX-SM-5M is a high-performance 5-meter fiber optic patch cord engineered for long-distance, high-speed signal transmission in FTTx networks, data centers, and telecommunications environments. Featuring SC/APC angled connectors and OS2 single-mode fiber, this duplex patch cord provides low insertion loss, ultra-low back reflection, and superior signal integrity. Its LSZH jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces, making it ideal for server rooms, enterprise networks, and ISP backbone links where reliability and compliance are critical.

Product Features

High-Quality SC/APC Connectors

Angled Physical Contact (8°) connectors reduce back reflection, maintain high return loss, and support mission-critical network performance.

Duplex OS2 Single-Mode Fiber

Contains two fibers for simultaneous bidirectional data flow, optimized for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications.

LSZH Safety Jacket

Flame-retardant, low-smoke zero-halogen construction ensures safe operation in confined spaces like data centers or offices.

Low Signal Loss

Insertion loss typically ≤0.3 dB and return loss ≥60 dB maintain reliable and efficient signal transmission.

Rigorous Testing and Compliance

100% factory-tested to international standards (IEC, TIA, ISO), meeting quality, safety, and environmental requirements.
