The specifications and parameters of LC cables can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific type of cable. However, here are some general specifications and parameters that are commonly associated with LC cables:

General Specifications

• Connector Type: LC (Lucent Connector)

• Fiber Type: Single-mode or Multi-mode

• Fiber Core Diameter:

  • For single-mode fiber, typically 9/125 µm
  • For multi-mode fiber, typically 50/125µm or 62.5/125µm

• Operating Wavelength:

  • Single-mode fiber often operates at 1310nm or 1550nm
  • Multi-mode fiber typically operates at 850nm

Optical Performance Parameters

• Insertion Loss: This is the amount of light lost when the fiber is inserted into the connector. It is usually measured in dB (decibels) and should be as low as possible. For LC cables, insertion loss is typically ≤0.3dB.
• Return Loss: This is the amount of light that is reflected back at the connector interface. A high return loss indicates a good connection, and it is usually measured in dB. For LC cables, return loss is typically ≥35dB.

Physical Parameters

• Cable Length: LC cables are available in various lengths, typically ranging from a few meters to several kilometers. The specific length depends on the application and the required transmission distance.
• Cable Jacket Material: The outer jacket of the cable is usually made of a durable material such as PVC or LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) for fire safety.
• Cable Diameter: The diameter of the cable can vary depending on the number of fibers and the type of jacket material.

Additional Parameters

• Bend Radius: The minimum radius that the cable can be bent without causing damage or excessive attenuation.
• Temperature Range: The operating temperature range of the cable, which indicates the lowest and highest temperatures the cable can withstand without performance degradation.
• Fire Rating: The cable's fire safety rating, such as UL94-V0 or LSZH, indicating its resistance to fire and smoke.

Please note that these specifications and parameters are general guidelines and may vary depending on the specific LC cable you are considering. It is always best to consult the manufacturer's datasheet or specification sheet for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
