What is the Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-MM-1M Fiber Patch Cord?
It is a 1-meter duplex multimode fiber-optic patch cord with LC UPC connectors on both ends.
What type of fiber does it use?
It is designed for multimode OM2 fiber.
What connectors does it have?
It has LC UPC connectors on both ends.
How long is the cable?
The patch cord is 1 meter long.
What does DX mean?
DX means duplex, indicating that the cable contains two fiber paths for bidirectional communication.
What does MM mean in the model number?
MM refers to multimode fiber.
What does LSZH mean?
LSZH means Low Smoke Zero Halogen. The cable jacket is designed to produce reduced smoke and avoid halogen-based emissions when exposed to fire.
Is it suitable for data centers?
Yes. Its compact LC connectors, duplex design and 1-meter length make it suitable for compatible multimode connections inside data-center racks and cabinets.
Can it be used with single-mode equipment?
No. This is a multimode OM2 patch cord and should be used with compatible multimode optical equipment.
Can it be used with SFP modules?
Yes, where the SFP or other optical transceiver uses a compatible LC multimode interface and its optical specifications match the OM2 fiber.
What is the difference between LC UPC and LC APC?
LC UPC uses a standard ultra-physical-contact polish, while LC APC uses an angled physical-contact polish. The connector type should match the requirements of the optical equipment and network.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| LC UPC connectors on both ends | Requires compatible LC interfaces |
| OM2 multimode fiber | Not suitable for single-mode-only equipment |
| Duplex configuration | 1-meter length may be limiting for longer connections |
| LSZH jacket | Requires proper connector cleaning |
| Compact LC connector design | Multimode fiber has shorter reach than single-mode fiber |
| Suitable for data centers and enterprise networks | UPC and APC connectors should not be mixed indiscriminately |
| Practical for short rack connections | Actual performance depends on compatible optical equipment |
