BlueOptics LC-LC singlemode patchkabel 2m X66260-2 G.657.A1

The BlueOptics LC-LC Singlemode Patch Cable 2m X66260-2 G.657.A1 is a 2‑meter singlemode fiber patch cable with LC/UPC connectors on both ends and G.657.A1 graded fiber. Designed for full duplex optical links, this cable is suitable for connecting patch panels, transceivers and active equipment where low attenuation and tight bending radius are required. The cable uses laser-optimized singlemode fiber with a 125 µm cladding diameter and a flame-retardant LSZH outer sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen release in case of fire. Each cable is tested for insertion loss and return loss and is manufactured to meet common industry standards for fiber patch cords.

Advantages

BlueOptics X66260-2 patch cables deliver low input loss and high return loss values, supporting reliable optical transmission over short and medium distances. The G.657.A1 fiber type offers improved bend tolerance compared with standard singlemode fiber, making the 2 m cable easier to route in dense installations. Connectors are built with zirconia ceramic ferrules for consistent mating performance and a long life span, while LSZH sheathing reduces fire-related toxins and smoke.

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and the connector endfaces before installation to ensure they are clean and free of dust. Route the 2 m cable without sharp kinks and maintain the recommended bend radius for G.657.A1 fiber to preserve optical performance. Plug the LC connectors into the corresponding ports on patch panels or transceivers until they latch securely. After installation, verify link performance by measuring insertion loss and return loss to ensure values meet system requirements.

Recommendations

For best results, always clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating and avoid repeated mating cycles beyond normal operation. When routing in confined spaces, use the cable’s improved bend tolerance but do not exceed the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep an optical loss measurement report for each installed cable to support troubleshooting and future changes.
