1M LC/APC Duplex SM Patch Lead for Reliable Fibre Connectivity
The 1 Metre LC/APC Duplex Single Mode Patch Lead from Attac is engineered for high-performance fibre optic connectivity in demanding environments such as data centres, FTTH installations, and enterprise backbones. Built with precision G657A or G652D single-mode fibre and polished LC/APC connectors, it provides reliable, low-loss transmission for dual-fibre applications.
Optimised for High-Speed, Low-Loss Transmission
This duplex patch lead enables bidirectional communication through its two-core design—ideal for networking environments where signal integrity and reliability are non-negotiable. The LC/APC connectors are factory-polished to ensure insertion loss ≤0.20dB and return loss ≥60dB, making this patchcord suitable for long-distance runs and high-density networks.

Safe for High-Density & Enclosed Environments
With the option of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) or flame-retardant PVC jacket, this patch lead is safe to use in enclosed and high-traffic areas. LSZH variants reduce toxic emissions in the event of a fire, making them the preferred choice for public buildings, server rooms, and ISP infrastructure. Fully IEC safety compliant and RoHS certified.
Short-Run Performance with Long-Term Reliability
The 1 metre length is perfect for cabinet-to-panel patching or ODF interconnects where minimal slack and neat routing are essential. Duplex construction reduces cable clutter while providing the flexibility of two fibres in a single patch lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between simplex and duplex patch leads?
Simplex patch leads have one fibre for one-way transmission. Duplex leads have two fibres, allowing simultaneous bi-directional communication—ideal for networking equipment.
Is LSZH required for indoor use?
While not always mandatory, LSZH is strongly recommended for indoor or enclosed spaces as it reduces toxic smoke and fumes during a fire.
Can this patch lead be used in FTTH installations?
Yes, this 1M LC/APC duplex single-mode patch lead is ideal for FTTH deployments, offering precision LC/APC connections and compact cable routing.
