Cables Direct FB2S-LCSC-020YD | LC to SC Single-Mode Fibre Patch Lead

This Cables Direct FB2S-LCSC-020YD InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Yellow provides a reliable link for structured cabling. It is designed for network engineers and IT facilities managers. The key USP is the OS2 single-mode fibre. It supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer over a 2-metre run. The LSZH jacket adds safety in dense rack environments.

Cables Direct FB2S-LCSC-020YD InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m LC SC Yellow

This patch lead connects devices with LC and SC interfaces. It uses OS2 single-mode fibre for long-distance capability. The yellow LSZH jacket ensures easy identification. It also reduces smoke and halogen emissions during a fire.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen Safety

The jacket uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material. This reduces toxic fume release in confined spaces. In practice, this is critical for risers and server rooms. It helps meet internal safety policies without compromising performance.

OS2 Single-Mode Precision

The core diameter is 9 µm with 125 µm cladding. This OS2 structure supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. It delivers low insertion loss at 0.3 dB. Consequently, signal integrity remains stable over the 2-metre span.

LC to SC Connectivity

Connector 1 is LC and Connector 2 is SC. Both are male and UPC polished. This hybrid interface links modern LC ports to legacy SC panels. Verify your device ports match this LC/SC configuration before ordering.

10 Gbit/s Duplex Performance

The cable supports full-duplex operation. It is rated for 10 Gbit/s data transfer. This suits high-bandwidth uplinks and storage networks. However, the maximum range depends on your transceiver modules and overall link budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable compatible with InfiniBand?

A: Yes, it is listed as an InfiniBand/fibre optic cable. Verify your HCA port type and cable length requirements.

Q: What is the maximum data rate?

A: The specification states 10 Gbit/s. Actual speed depends on your transceivers and network design.

Q: Can I use this for long distances?

A: OS2 single-mode fibre supports long distances. However, this 2 m lead is for short links between racks or panels.

Q: Is the jacket LSZH suitable for UK installations?

A: LSZH is common in UK data centres. Confirm site fire-safety standards before deployment.

Q: Are the connectors keyed?

A: LC and SC connectors are not polarised. Ensure correct port mapping during installation.
