Description
Lightwave LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-3M Patch Cord
The Lightwave LC-LC Fiber Patch facilitates high-density optical connections within telecommunications rooms and data center environments. This 3-meter duplex assembly utilizes G.652.D compliant single-mode glass to support long-reach transmission protocols. It operates efficiently within the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength windows. The cable employs Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing on both ends to minimize signal degradation. This specific configuration ensures high return loss and low insertion loss for critical network uplinks. Network engineers deploy these jumpers to bridge the gap between optical transceivers and patch panels.
Key Features
Optical Performance Standards
The assembly maintains an insertion loss below 0.3dB through precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that ensure exact core alignment.LSZH Outer Jacket
- Complies with IEC 60332-1 flame retardant standards.
- Produces minimal smoke and zero halogen gases during thermal decomposition.
- Suitable for installation in poorly ventilated areas or plenum spaces.
Duplex LC Connector Housing
The small form factor (SFF) design doubles fiber density compared to traditional SC connectors in rack environments.Single-Mode OS2 Core
- Utilizes 9/125 micrometer core/cladding diameter for high-bandwidth data transfer.
- Supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications over extended distances.
- Features yellow color-coded jacketing for immediate identification of single-mode media.

Why Choose LW-PC-LCU-LCU-DX-SM-3M
The UPC polish finish effectively mitigates back-reflections that can damage sensitive laser diodes in high-speed transceivers.
Each optical lead undergoes rigorous factory testing to ensure compliance with TIA/EIA-568-C.3 performance requirements.
The 2.0mm zip-cord construction provides sufficient mechanical protection while remaining flexible for intricate cable management routing.
Removable duplex clips allow for easy polarity reversal during installation if cross-over wiring is required.

Silas Nabwera (verified owner) –
The cable itself is fine and the 3M length is accurate, but the protective dust caps were a bit loose in the packaging bag. Once I cleaned the tips and plugged them in, it worked perfectly for our SM setup. Good price for the quality.
Brian Otieno (verified owner) –
These Lightwave LC-LC duplex cables work exactly as advertised. Used them to link our SFP modules and the connection is stable. The 3-meter length is just right for rack-to-rack patching without having too much slack to tie up. Only gave 4 stars because the plastic clips are a bit stiff to press, but otherwise solid build.
Evans Kipkorir (verified owner) –
Picked up a few of these 3m Lightwave cords for our office backbone upgrade in Upper Hill. The LSZH jacket is quite decent, not the flimsy type that kinks easily when you’re cable-managing in a tight rack. Signal loss is negligible across the LC connectors. Good value for money compared to what you find downtown.
J.M. Githinji (verified owner) –
Reliable single mode patch cords. Hard to find original Lightwave stuff in stock sometimes in Nairobi, but these were available. No issues with the ferrules or the polishing, performance is consistent with the specs.

Good quality fiber patch cord. Delivered to Westlands on the same day and worked perfectly for our switch link.
