Verkkokaapeli BlueOptics Simplex kuitu-verkkokaapeli LC-UPC/LC-APC Singlemode 0,5 metriä sininen

The BlueOptics Simplex LWL Patch Cable LC-UPC/LC-APC Singlemode 0.5 Meter Blue is a short-length singlemode fiber patch lead designed for precise, low-loss connections between network devices. Featuring an LC-UPC connector on one end and an LC-APC connector on the other, this 0.5 m cable enables polarity-correct single-fiber links in patch panels, transceivers and distribution frames where compact connectors and minimal back-reflection are required. The blue jacket provides visual identification for singlemode runs and the simplex construction reduces space usage in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This singlemode LC-UPC to LC-APC patch cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss appropriate for long-reach optical links and precise testing scenarios. The simplex design simplifies routing in cabinets and racks while the 0.5 m length minimizes excess slack to improve airflow and cable management. Connector endface polish types (UPC and APC) enable compatibility with equipment requiring an angled-polish interface on one side to reduce back-reflection, making the cable suitable for sensitive optical transmissions.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between the appropriate LC ports, ensuring the LC-UPC end and LC-APC end are connected to compatible receptacles on your devices or patch panel. Inspect connector endfaces for contamination before insertion; clean with approved fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Insert each LC connector until the latch clicks to ensure secure mating. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or fiber damage. For short links like 0.5 m, secure the cable to prevent tension on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m simplex LC-UPC to LC-APC cable where a short, polarity-correct singlemode connection is required and where one side requires an angled polish to reduce back-reflection. Keep connectors capped when not in use, clean before mating, and route to minimize bends and mechanical strain for reliable long-term performance.
