LC/UPC–SC/UPC-SM-SX Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord

The LC/UPC–SC/UPC-SM-SX patch cord is a single-fiber simplex (SX) single-mode jumper designed for FTTH, telecom racks, optical modules, and compact fiber distribution systems. It combines a high-density LC/UPC connector on one end with a standard SC/UPC connector on the other, allowing seamless interconnection between SFP-based equipment and SC-terminated ODFs or wall outlets.

This configuration is widely used by system integrators, telecom operators, wholesalers, and OEM fiber manufacturers for cost-effective and space-saving network deployments.

Description

Why LC to SC Simplex Is Still in High Demand

Modern switches, routers, and optical transceivers use LC ports to maximize port density, while SC connectors remain standard on patch panels, FTTH boxes, and telecom ODFs.
The LC–SC simplex design provides a direct, low-loss optical path without adapters, reducing both signal loss and installation cost.

Professional FAQ

Q1: What does SX mean in this model?
SX stands for simplex, meaning the cable has one fiber instead of a duplex pair.

Q2: Is this cable compatible with FTTH and telecom networks?
Yes. It uses OS2 single-mode fiber, fully compatible with telecom, FTTH, and PON systems.

Q3: Why use LC on one end and SC on the other?
LC fits high-density transceivers, while SC connects to standard ODFs and wall outlets.

Q4: Can this be supplied in OEM or private-label packaging?
Yes. We provide OEM, ODM, and distributor branding.

Q5: Is this suitable for long-distance transmission?
Yes. OS2 single-mode fiber supports kilometers of transmission with very low attenuation.

Q6: Who typically buys this model?
Telecom operators, FTTH installers, system integrators, and fiber wholesalers.
