Description
Lightwave Fiber Pigtail LC UPC Single Mode 2M Introduction
The Lightwave Fiber Pigtail LC UPC Single Mode 2M is a professional fiber optic termination component designed for splicing single-mode fiber networks. It features a factory-terminated LC UPC connector on one end while the other end is left un-terminated for connection to the main fiber cable through fusion or mechanical splicing.
Its 2-meter length provides convenient working space when installing fiber inside patch panels optical distribution frames splice trays and fiber distribution boxes. The compact LC connector is also suitable for high-density fiber installations.
