The Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-1M Patch Cord is a 1-meter duplex single-mode fiber cable fitted with LC UPC connectors on both ends. It uses OS2 9/125μm fiber and an LSZH outer jacket, making it suitable for professional fiber-optic installations requiring dependable optical connectivity in compact spaces.
Its LC-to-LC configuration makes it convenient for connecting compatible switches, SFP or SFP+ transceivers, optical distribution panels and other fiber networking equipment. The short 1-meter length is particularly useful inside racks and cabinets where excessive cable length can make cable management difficult.

What is the Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-1M Patch Cord?
It is a 1-meter duplex single-mode fiber-optic patch cord with LC UPC connectors on both ends.
What type of fiber does it use?
It uses OS2 9/125μm single-mode fiber.
What connectors are fitted to the cable?
The cable has LC UPC connectors at both ends in a duplex configuration.
How long is the patch cord?
It is 1 meter long, making it suitable for short connections inside network racks and cabinets.
Does the cable use an LSZH jacket?
Yes. The cable uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket designed for professional indoor installations.
Is it suitable for long-distance fiber networking?
Yes. The OS2 single-mode construction is designed for long-distance optical transmission, although the actual distance depends on the transceivers, network equipment and optical budget.
Can it be used with SFP or SFP+ equipment?
Yes, where the SFP or SFP+ transceiver uses a compatible LC single-mode interface.
What is the difference between LC UPC and LC APC?
LC UPC uses a straight physical-contact polish, while LC APC uses an angled polish designed for higher return-loss performance. This model specifically uses LC UPC connectors, so it should be matched with compatible interfaces and cabling requirements.
Where can this patch cord be used?
It can be used in data centers, enterprise networks, telecom rooms, ISP infrastructure, structured cabling systems and fiber distribution installations.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| LC UPC connectors on both ends | Only 1 meter long |
| OS2 single-mode fiber | Not suitable for multimode-only interfaces |
