The detailed specifications above are based on current listings for the LW-PT-LCA-MM, while some listings differ on exact insertion-loss and fiber construction details.
OM3 multimode fiber provides high-bandwidth performance for suitable local-area optical networks.
50/125µm construction is widely used in high-speed multimode fiber infrastructure.
LC/APC termination provides accurate fiber alignment and helps reduce optical reflections.
Insertion loss below 0.2dB on listed specifications helps minimize signal loss at the connector.
Supports common multimode wavelengths of 850nm and 1300nm.
The 2-meter length provides additional routing flexibility inside racks, splice trays and distribution enclosures.
Factory termination helps provide consistent connector performance compared with field-polished connectors.
Actual network performance depends on the transceivers, splice quality, connector cleanliness and overall fiber installation.
Compact 900µm tight-buffered fiber is designed for easy handling during fiber termination.
LC connector construction is space-efficient for high-density fiber installations.
Angled Physical Contact polishing helps reduce reflected optical energy.
Zirconia ceramic ferrule provides accurate optical fiber alignment.
LSZH construction is suitable for many indoor environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are preferred.
The 2-meter length provides sufficient working slack for routing and splicing.
The unconnectorized end allows the pigtail to be fusion-spliced to a compatible multimode fiber cable.
Uses an LC/APC connector on one end.
Designed for compatible multimode fiber equipment.
The opposite fiber end is intended for splicing to an optical cable.
Suitable for compatible LC/APC adapters, patch panels and optical distribution equipment.
Can be integrated into enterprise LANs, campus networks and data-center fiber infrastructure.
Suitable for fiber termination within ODFs and splice trays.
The fiber mode, connector type and polish should match the connected optical equipment before installation.
Data centers: Suitable for multimode fiber termination and high-density optical infrastructure.
Enterprise networks: Useful for structured fiber connections between network equipment.
Campus networks: Supports optical links between buildings and network distribution points.
Fiber patch panels: Provides LC/APC termination for compatible multimode systems.
ODFs: Suitable for organized fiber termination and distribution.
Structured cabling: Helps create clean and manageable optical connections.
Telecommunications: Suitable for compatible multimode optical infrastructure.

What type of fiber does the Lightwave LW-PT-LCA-MM use?
It uses multimode OM3 50/125µm fiber according to the detailed product listing.
What connector does the LW-PT-LCA-MM use?
It uses an LC/APC connector.
How long is the Lightwave LW-PT-LCA-MM?
The pigtail is 2 meters long.
What does APC mean on a fiber connector?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The angled fiber end-face is designed to reduce back reflection and improve return-loss performance.
Is the LW-PT-LCA-MM a patch cord?
No. It is a fiber pigtail. One end has a factory-installed LC/APC connector, while the other end is left unconnectorized for splicing.
Can the LW-PT-LCA-MM be used for data centers?
Yes. The OM3 multimode fiber and compact LC connector make it suitable for compatible data-center and enterprise fiber infrastructure.
What is the insertion loss of the Lightwave LW-PT-LCA-MM?
The detailed listing specifies less than 0.2dB, while another listing gives a maximum of approximately 0.3dB.
What is the price of the Lightwave LW-PT-LCA-MM Fiber Pigtail in Kenya?
Based on the supplied price of KSh 500, the listed Kenya price range is KSh 500 – KSh 5,500.
