MSS Fibre SC-LC DUPLEX SM PATCHLEAD 5 MTR DSCLC5M-SM

Description

SC-to-LC Duplex Connectivity

Featuring an SC connector at one end and an LC connector at the other, this duplex patch lead supports connections between compatible fibre optic interfaces. Its singlemode (SM) configuration is suitable for telecommunications networks and high-speed metropolitan access networks, making it a useful component for structured fibre installations.

Factory-terminated connectors help simplify installation by providing ready-to-use connections without requiring on-site connector termination. The duplex design accommodates two optical fibre paths within one patch lead, supporting transmit and receive connections where required by the network configuration.

Designed for Telecommunications and Data Networks

The MSS Fibre Systems patch lead is suited to applications including CATV and video distribution, Passive Optical Networks (PON), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM/DWDM) and Fibre to the Home (FTTH). It can be used for patching between active equipment and fibre optic panels in data centres, telecommunications rooms and other network infrastructure environments.

At 5 metres long, the cable offers additional reach for equipment connections while helping maintain an organised patching layout. Its yellow jacket identifies the singlemode cable, supporting easier identification during installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.

LSZH Sheath and Connection Durability

The patch lead features a 2mm Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath. This cable construction is designed to reduce smoke and halogen emissions compared with conventional halogen-containing cable materials when exposed to fire.

Rated for up to 500 mating cycles in accordance with IEC 61300-2-2, the connectors are designed to accommodate repeated connection and disconnection during normal use. This makes the patch lead suitable for network environments where equipment may need to be reconfigured or maintained. For best results, confirm connector compatibility and the required fibre specifications before installation.
