LC-SC Fiber Patch Cords for Mixed-Interface Connections
Hybrid LC-to-SC fiber assemblies for connecting equipment, panels and legacy or mixed-interface optical infrastructure.
An LC-SC patch cord links an LC interface to an SC interface. Fiber mode, polish on both ends, simplex or duplex construction and the end-to-end link budget must be specified together.
Designed around the complete optical link.
Confirm connector compatibility, fiber type, routing and approval requirements as one specification.
Mixed connector environments
Bridge LC equipment ports and SC adapter fields without intermediate conversion.
Network upgrades
Support phased migration where existing panels and new equipment use different interfaces.
Project-defined identification
Use colors and labels that clearly identify hybrid patching paths.
Define these fields before quotation.
Final availability and performance are confirmed against the selected construction and quantity.
| Configuration field | Available direction | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber type | OS2, OM3 or OM4 directions | Must remain consistent across the link. |
| End A | LC/UPC or LC/APC as applicable | Must match the LC-side interface. |
| End B | SC/UPC or SC/APC as applicable | Must match the SC-side interface. |
| Construction | Simplex or duplex | Defines fiber count and port use. |
| Jacket and diameter | Application-defined | Affects routing and durability. |
| Length and labels | Project-defined | Supports installation and traceability. |

Move from link requirement to approved assembly.
Share the application first, then confirm interfaces, construction, identification and test evidence.
Share the link
Equipment, panels, route, quantity and deployment environment.
Define both ends
Connector, polish, fiber mode, construction and length.
Review routing
Jacket, diameter, boot, bend space, labels and packaging.
Agree evidence
Confirm inspection and applicable optical test records.
Questions to resolve before ordering.
Final values are confirmed during RFQ review.
What details should be included in a patch-cord RFQ?
Provide fiber type, connector and polish at each end, simplex or duplex construction, cable diameter, jacket, length, quantity, labels and required test records.
Can JHT support project-specific lengths and labels?
Yes. Lengths, colors, labels and packaging can be reviewed against the project cable schedule before quotation.
Can LC/APC be connected to SC/UPC?
A hybrid assembly can use different connector types, but polish selection must match each mating interface. Confirm both ends independently.
