Keyed LC Opti-Core ™Patch Cords and Pigtails –
Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Rated
SPECIFICATION SHEET
specifications
Keyed LC fibre optic patch cords include simplex or
duplex keyed LC connectors on both ends, or on one end with
non-keyed LC or SC connectors on the other end. Keyed LC
fibre optic pigtails shall include simplex or duplex keyed LC
connectors on one end and open (un-terminated) on the other
end. Keyed LC connectors are mechanically keyed with
colour-specific positive and negative keying features to prevent
unintentional mating with unlike keyed or non-keyed adapters.
Patch cords and pigtails include laser optimised OM3 fibre,
OM2, OM1 and OS1/OS2 fibre inside 900µm tight-buffered
fibre or 1.6mm simplex or duplex zipcord jacketed cable.
Jacketed cable is compliant with IEC-60332 (LSZH) flame
ratings. Patch cords and pigtails are RoHS compliant and
meet or exceed requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 and
TIA/EIA – 568-B.3. The fibre connectors exceed the
requirements of TIA/EIA-455-21A or 500 mating cycles.

key features and benefits
Colour-specific keys with
positive and negative
keying features
Mechanically and visually distinguish connections to prevent
unintentional insertion into unlike keyed or non-keyed ports, allow
network design flexibility and versatility, and accommodate
more discrete networks
Factory terminated and 100%
tested for insertion loss (all)
and return loss (10Gig ™ and SM)
Assures high performance for increased up-time and lower
cost of ownership
Low smoke zero halogen
Meets IEC-60332 (LSZH) flame rating for standard
compliant safety
Singlemode endfaces UPC
polished (55dB min. return loss)
Ensure a high quality endface for higher return loss to meet
application requirements
Singlemode endface geometry
100% factory inspected
Every singlemode endface is inspected in compliance with
Telcordia GR-326-CORE, Issue 3 requirements to assure
high performance
Certified 10 GbE performance
Keyed LC 10Gig ™ Patch Cords and Pigtails are tested per IEEE
802.3ae 10 GbE to support network transmission speeds up to 10
Gb/s for link lengths up to 300 meters at 850nm to assure high
performance and reliability
Test data supplied with
each patch cord and pigtail
Establishes a performance reference to streamline maintenance
and troubleshooting
applications
Keyed LC Opti-Core ™ Fibre Optic Patch Cords
and Pigtails enable fibre to the desk (FTTD),
interconnect and cross-connect of applications for
the specialised infrastructure design that is
required for secure networks. The primary
application for Keyed LC Opti-Core ™ Fibre
Optic Patch Cords and Pigtails is FTTD
deployments that require a level of visual and
mechanical differentiation, and physical layer
security that conventional connector solutions
w w w. p a n d u i t . c o m
cannot provide. These low smoke zero halogen
(LSZH) rated patch cords and pigtails support
installations that require flame ratings in specific
environments. Keyed LC Opti-Core ™ Fibre Optic
Patch Cords and Pigtails are available in OM1,
OM2, OM3 and OS1/OS2 fibre types to meet the
demand of Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet
and high speed Fibre Channel systems while
maintaining compatibility with Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, FDDI and ATM.
