Optical Cable Corp. OCA214995LCLC0540F Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. OCA214995LCLC0540F is a fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density network and data infrastructure installations. Terminated with LC connectors on both ends, this cable provides a reliable optical signal path in environments where longer runs are required. At 540 feet, it suits large-facility backbone connections, data center inter-rack runs, and campus-level horizontal cabling. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on LC-to-LC fiber patch cables for their low insertion loss and compact connector footprint in high-port-density panels and switches.

This cable is intended for use in commercial and enterprise network environments where fiber optic cabling is specified. Typical applications include structured cabling backbone runs, data center fiber distribution, and telecommunications room cross-connects. The LC connector format is widely adopted in enterprise switches, fiber patch panels, and SFP-based network equipment. The 540-foot length accommodates longer horizontal or backbone runs that pre-terminated short-length patch cables cannot serve.

Key Features

• LC to LC connector configuration for compatibility with high-density fiber panels and SFP ports
• 540-foot length supports long horizontal and backbone fiber runs
• Factory-terminated ends reduce field termination labor and associated insertion loss risk
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fiber patch cable for LC-port fiber optic patch panels, switches, and transceivers in structured cabling and data center applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or registered communications distribution designer familiar with TIA-568 fiber cabling standards. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pulling or dressing, as overbending can cause permanent signal loss. Clean LC ferrules with approved fiber optic cleaning tools before mating to any adapter or transceiver port. Power down or disable the associated fiber transceiver port before connecting or disconnecting the cable where laser safety is a concern.
