ECS LC-SC/x/10/A2 is an OS2 duplex fiber patch cord for singlemode connections. It connects LC (polish to be confirmed) to SC (polish to be confirmed) interfaces for equipment-to-panel or panel-to-panel patching. The blue cable helps identify the fiber connection in the rack.
Connector compatibility
Which connectors does this patch cord use? LC (polish to be confirmed) at end A and SC (polish to be confirmed) at end B. The product description does not explicitly state the polish on every unmarked connector; confirm the mating interface before ordering. Match each end to the equipment or patch panel. UPC and APC must not be mated directly. Use singlemode optics specified for OS2 fiber. A passive patch cord does not establish the link speed or maximum transmission distance.

Installation requirements
Choose a cable length that follows the actual routing without tension. Clean and inspect connector end faces before connection, match the polish at both ends and observe the cable bend radius. Check transmit/receive polarity across the complete duplex fiber path. Confirm the optical loss budget using the transceiver requirements and all cable connections.
The linked series datasheet covers several connector options and Premium optical performance grades. Confirm the applicable loss grade for the ordered variant; do not treat all series options as properties of this product.
