1M LC to LC Simplex SM Patch Lead for Long-Distance Fibre Networks
The 1 Metre LC to LC Simplex Single Mode Patch Lead from Attac is engineered for precision, low-loss fibre optic connections across high-speed, long-distance networks. Featuring LC/UPC connectors on both ends and built with G657A or G652D single-mode fibre, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance in FTTH, telecommunications, and enterprise environments.
Precision-Polished LC/UPC Connectors
This patch lead is terminated with LC/UPC connectors, which provide ultra-physical contact and low reflectance. Designed to support return loss up to 60dB, the UPC polish ensures a clean and stable signal path—making it ideal for core telecom links, active device interconnects, and single-mode distribution panels.

Fire-Safe and Space-Efficient Design
The LSZH jacket ensures the patch lead is safe for use in public buildings, high-density server racks, and confined cable trays. In case of fire, it emits minimal smoke and no halogen gases, enhancing safety for personnel and sensitive equipment. The 1-metre length is perfect for short patching distances, reducing excess slack and improving airflow in equipment racks.
Built for Performance and Longevity
Each unit is tested to meet insertion loss ≤0.20dB and return loss ≥60dB, ensuring high signal quality in modern optical networks. The LC connectors offer over 1000 mating cycles, ensuring long-term performance for critical infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UPC and APC connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors have a flat polish and are ideal for low-reflection applications like digital data. APC connectors have an angled polish, reducing back reflection in analogue systems.
Where is this patch lead typically used?
It’s widely used in FTTH setups, telecom rooms, and data centre racks where single-mode fibre links are needed for high-speed, long-range connectivity.
Is LSZH necessary for indoor fibre installations?
While not legally required everywhere, LSZH is strongly recommended in populated or enclosed areas for safety in case of fire.
