Cables Direct FB2S-LCLC-010Y 1m LC-LC Yellow fibre optic cable

Cables Direct FB2S-LCLC-010Y | 1m LC to LC Single-Mode Fibre

The Cables Direct FB2S-LCLC-010Y fibre optic cable 1 m 2x LC Yellow provides a reliable link for short-range fibre connectivity. It is designed for network engineers and IT managers needing a duplex connection. This cable uses LC connectors and a yellow LSZH jacket. It supports 1 Gbit/s data transfer over a 1-metre distance.

Cables Direct FB2S-LCLC-010Y fibre optic cable 1 m 2x LC Yellow

This specific model features a single-mode fibre structure. It is ideal for precise data transmission in structured cabling. The duplex configuration allows simultaneous bi-directional data flow. Because it uses standard LC connectors, it fits easily into most patch panels.

Optimised for 1Gbps Duplex Connectivity

The cable supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. This bandwidth is sufficient for most enterprise backbone applications. Because it is a single-mode cable, it offers low signal loss over the 1-metre length. In practice, this ensures clean data delivery between switches or servers.

Robust LSZH Safety Construction

The jacket is made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material. This reduces toxic fume emission during a fire. It is a preferred choice for UK commercial installations with strict safety codes. The yellow jacket also allows for easy visual identification of the fibre link.

Precision Single-Mode Fibre Optics

The cable features a 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding. This geometry is standard for single-mode fibre (G.652.D). It ensures precise light transmission for long-distance capable hardware. Note that this cable is yellow, which typically denotes single-mode, not multimode.

High Durability & Bending Radius

The cable has a 4 cm bending radius specification. This protects the glass fibre from micro-fractures during installation. It handles an operating temperature range of -60 to 85 °C. This wide range suits diverse UK data centre environments.

Compact and Flexible Design

With an overall diameter of 3 mm, this cable is compact. It facilitates high-density cabling in racks and conduits. The flexibility helps manage cable tray layouts without excessive strain.

Check before you buy

• Confirm fibre mode compatibility: Ensure your hardware uses single-mode fibre (SMF), not multimode (MMF).
• Verify connector type: Check that your equipment ports accept LC duplex connectors.
• Check port polarity: Confirm the correct Tx/Rx orientation for your specific network setup.
• Review cable management: Ensure your rack has space for a 1m patch lead without tight loops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable compatible with multimode equipment?

A: No, this is a single-mode cable and will not work with multimode transceivers.

Q: What does the yellow jacket indicate?

A: In fibre optics, yellow typically denotes single-mode fibre cables.

Q: Are LC connectors standard for this cable?

A: Yes, it features LC to LC male connectors on both ends.

Q: Can I use this cable outdoors?

A: While it operates from -60 to 85 °C, the LSZH jacket is not UV stabilised unless specified.

Q: Does this cable support 10 Gbit/s?

A: The input specifies a 1 Gbit/s transfer rate; 10 Gbit/s is not stated.
