LC/UPC-LC/UPC | Single Mode G657.A2 Duplex Patch Cord

This LC Duplex Patch Cord features 2.0 x 4.1 mm bend-insensitive fiber, built with ITU-T G657.A2 standard to ensure durability in tight routing and dense environments. Both ends are fitted with LC (Lucent Connector) interfaces, which use a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule known for precise alignment and stable performance in high-speed networks.

Each connector type is distinguished by its ferrule end-face geometry:

• UPC (Ultra Physical Contact): Delivers a highly polished, flat surface for optimal signal transmission.

• APC (Angled Physical Contact): Offers an 8° angle polish, minimizing back reflection — ideal for high-bandwidth or long-distance links.

These cords are designed for environments where space-saving and performance go hand in hand. Manufactured to comply with industry-leading standards and assembled with quality in mind, they’re an excellent fit for structured cabling systems, data centers, and telecom applications.
