Product details

Fiber Patch Cord 9/125 2mm, 2M LC/UPC–SC/UPC Price in Kenya

The 9/125 2mm, 2M LC/UPC–SC/UPC Fiber Patch Cord connects compatible single-mode equipment using an LC/UPC interface at one end and an SC/UPC interface at the other. It suits short connections between optical modules, patch panels, media converters, and other correctly matched equipment.

The two-meter length is convenient for nearby devices, while the 2mm nominal cable diameter supports compact routing. Both ends use UPC polish, but their connector sizes and latching mechanisms differ.

This cord changes the physical connector format between the endpoints. It does not convert optical standards, wavelengths, or network protocols.

Features and Benefits

Connects LC and SC interfaces

The mixed connector arrangement is useful when a compact LC optical module connects to an SC termination panel.

Ready for installation

A finished patch cord avoids field connector assembly during normal equipment patching. Correct inspection and cleaning remain necessary.

Suitable for short cabinet connections

Two meters can provide useful routing space between nearby equipment and panels. Leave service slack without placing pressure on connectors or creating tight bends.

For higher-density SC termination, a compatible SC/UPC optical distribution frame may be relevant. Select panel capacity according to the actual installation.

Recommended Applications

• LC optical module-to-SC patch-panel connections.
• Compatible optical media-converter installations.
• Network cabinet patching.
• Replacement of damaged LC-to-SC cords.
• Single-mode test and maintenance arrangements.

For optical Ethernet projects, check the exact interface of the Netlink single-mode media converter before selecting patch cords.

How to Install the LC/UPC–SC/UPC Patch Cord

1. Check both endpoints. Confirm LC/UPC at one side and SC/UPC at the other.
2. Confirm the optical design. Match fiber mode, wavelengths, transmission standard, and required fiber count.
3. Check simplex or duplex requirements. A two-fiber transceiver requires both transmit and receive paths. A single-fiber BiDi link requires an appropriate complementary optical pair.
4. Plan the route. Confirm that two meters reaches comfortably through the intended cable-management path.
5. Inspect and clean. Use the correct inspection tips and cleaning tools for LC and SC connectors. Never look into a connector or port.
6. Connect carefully. Align the LC end and engage its latch, then seat the SC end using its housing. Never force either connector.
7. Support the cord. Avoid tight ties, door pinch points, sharp bends, and unsupported hanging weight.
8. Test the link. Check interface status and optical levels where available. For duplex links, verify transmit-to-receive polarity.

Troubleshooting

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages: Convenient LC-to-SC connection; preterminated ends; compact cable construction; practical for nearby equipment.

Disadvantages: Requires matching UPC interfaces; fiber count must match the application; cannot correct incompatible transceivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it plug directly into an RJ45 Ethernet port?
No. It requires compatible optical interfaces or appropriate conversion equipment.

Does LC/UPC–SC/UPC mean the cable is duplex?
No. Those terms identify connector types and polish. Confirm the supplied fiber count.

Does two meters describe its transmission limit?
It describes the patch cord’s physical length. The complete link’s reach depends on the equipment, installed fiber, and optical loss budget.
