MSS Fibre ST-LC DUPLEX SM PATCHLEAD 5 MTR DSTLC5M-SM

Description

Reliable Fibre Optic Connectivity for Network Installations

The MSS Fibre ST-LC Duplex Singlemode Fibre Optic Patch Lead, model DSTLC5M-SM, provides a practical connection solution for telecommunications infrastructure, data centres and fibre optic networking equipment. With ST and LC connectors at opposite ends, this 5-metre patch lead supports connections between compatible fibre optic equipment and patch panels, making it suitable for a range of professional network installations.

Designed for singlemode fibre applications, this patch lead is suited to telecommunications networks and high-speed metropolitan access networks. Its duplex configuration accommodates two optical fibre paths within one cable assembly, supporting applications that require separate transmit and receive connections when used with compatible equipment.

Factory-Terminated Connectors and Durable Cable Construction

Factory-terminated connectors help simplify installation by providing ready-made connections without requiring on-site connector termination. The ST-to-LC configuration is useful when interconnecting equipment or panels with matching connector interfaces, provided the connected components are compatible with the installed fibre system.

The cable features a 2mm low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath and a yellow jacket for easy visual identification. LSZH cable construction is designed to limit smoke and halogen emissions compared with conventional halogen-containing cable materials when exposed to fire. This makes the sheath a relevant consideration when specifying cabling for enclosed commercial and telecommunications environments.

Versatile Applications for Fibre Networks

The MSS Fibre patch lead is suitable for applications including CATV/video, Passive Optical Networks (PON), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM/DWDM) and Fibre to the Home (FTTH). Its 5-metre length provides additional flexibility when connecting equipment positioned further apart within a rack, communications room or network installation.

Rated for up to 500 mating cycles in accordance with IEC 61300-2-2, the patch lead is designed for repeated connector mating within its specified rating. For dependable installation, confirm connector compatibility, fibre requirements and equipment specifications before ordering. The DSTLC5M-SM is a practical choice for electricians, network installers and maintenance teams sourcing fibre optic connectivity components for commercial and telecommunications projects.
