How to Choose the Right LC to ST Configuration
Four decisions define your LC to ST singlemode assembly — use this guide to arrive at the right configuration for your deployment.
Confirm Distance & Bandwidth
Singlemode fiber is best for long-distance applications and higher bandwidth needs. If your run exceeds a few hundred meters or needs future 10G, 40G, or 100G readiness, singlemode is the right choice.
Verify Connector Compatibility
Make sure your equipment supports LC and ST ports or use adapters where needed. Connector compatibility is essential for reliable performance and proper mating.
Select Cable Length
Choose a length that matches your routing path without unnecessary slack. Standard and custom lengths help keep cable management organized.
Choose the Right Jacket
Depending on the installation environment, select PVC, plenum, LSZH, or ruggedized jackets to meet compliance and durability requirements.
