Network cable helos fibre optic - patch cable - SC multimode - 0.5m - fibre optic - cable - network

The helos LWL Patch Cable is a 0.5 m SC multi-mode fiber optic cable designed for short-distance network connections where reliable, low-loss data transmission is required. The compact fiber patch cable connects SC ports in switches, patch panels and active equipment, offering consistent optical performance and a small form factor suitable for dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This SC multi-mode fiber patch cable delivers consistent signal integrity with low insertion loss and good return loss characteristics suitable for typical LAN and data center interconnects. The 0.5 meter length reduces excess cabling in racks and helps maintain tidy cable management. Its durable jacket and reinforced connector termination provide mechanical stability for frequent handling during installation and reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Linking SC fiber ports on switches, patch panels and optical transceivers
• Short-range multimode connections in data centers and server rooms
• Fiber optic patching in telecommunications and networking cabinets
• Testing and temporary cabling during network maintenance

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC – male to male duplex or simplex as required by the link (SC multi-mode)
• Fiber type: Multi-mode optical fiber
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Jacket: Durable outer sheath for protection and flexibility
• Performance: Engineered for low insertion loss and stable optical transmission over short distances

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support SC multi-mode interfaces and that the fiber type and connectors match the equipment requirements. Route the 0.5 m patch cable between the two SC ports, avoiding tight bends or kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multi-mode fiber. Insert connectors fully into SC sockets until a positive latch is felt. For duplex links, ensure correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Inspect connector endfaces for contamination before installation and clean if necessary to avoid signal degradation.

Recommendations

Store the patch cable coiled without sharp bends and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. For best performance, use this multi-mode cable for short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections and pair it with compatible SC multi-mode transceivers and patch panels. If frequent reconfiguration is expected, inspect connectors regularly and replace the cable if physical damage or excessive attenuation is observed.
