2M LC/UPC to SC/APC Duplex SM Patch Lead – Hybrid Duplex Single-Mode Fibre for Precision Networking
The 2 Metre LC/UPC to SC/APC Duplex Single-Mode Patch Lead from Attac is a professional-grade fibre optic solution tailored for high-performance network environments requiring cross-interface connections. Combining the flat-polished LC/UPC connector and the angled SC/APC connector, this patchcord ensures low insertion loss and minimal back reflection, making it ideal for FTTH, telecom infrastructure, data centres, and enterprise fibre networks.
Built for High-Speed Single-Mode Networks
Manufactured using G657A or G652D 9/125µm single-mode fibre, the cable supports high-bandwidth, long-distance communication. It’s factory-tested to deliver insertion loss ≤0.20dB and return loss up to 60dB, ensuring optimal performance across diverse deployments.

LSZH Jacket for Safety
The outer jacket is made from either Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material or standard PVC. LSZH is ideal for use in enclosed environments, reducing the release of harmful gases and smoke in the event of fire. This makes the patch lead suitable for high-density and public installations.
Hybrid LC/UPC to SC/APC Connector Design
The LC/UPC to SC/APC configuration is perfect for hybrid equipment that requires low-reflection APC interfaces on one end and compact LC/UPC on the other. This setup allows seamless integration into structured cabling systems with differing connector types without compromising signal quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of combining LC/UPC with SC/APC connectors?
This combination enables compatibility between systems using different polish types. The SC/APC end reduces back reflection, ideal for GPON or FTTH, while LC/UPC offers a compact form factor for rack installations.
Is this patch lead suitable for outdoor use?
This patch lead is primarily designed for indoor use in controlled environments. For outdoor or harsh environments, ruggedised or armoured options are recommended.
Can I use this in a high-density rack installation?
Yes, the LC/UPC connector is compact and ideal for high-density applications. The LSZH jacket further supports safe use in tightly packed server rooms and patch panels.
