1M LC/APC to FC/PC Duplex SM Patch Lead for Hybrid Fibre Connectivity
The 1 Metre LC/APC to FC/PC Duplex Single Mode Patch Lead is engineered for critical fibre optic applications requiring high accuracy, low loss, and hybrid connector support. Designed for structured cabling systems that bridge diverse equipment types, this patch lead is perfect for telecoms, data centres, FTTH installations, and fibre optic test systems.
Built for High-Performance and Cross-Compatible Connectivity
This duplex patch lead combines LC/APC and FC/PC connectors, enabling seamless connection between modern networking equipment and legacy or specialised hardware. The angled LC/APC connector minimises back reflection while the FC/PC connector offers stability and precision in high-vibration environments. Constructed with G657A or G652D single-mode fibre, it delivers reliable low-loss transmission for mission-critical systems.
