Length and Use: Though single fiber optic cables come in lengths from about 18 inches to 328 feet (100 meters), fiber patch cables are typically on the short end of that spectrum, ranging from a few feet up to 50 feet. This is why a common length like the 2m LC LC patch cord, a 3m or even 5m patch cord is widely used, for instance, they strike a balance between flexibility and performance. Standards patch cord lengths are ready-made and come in a range of sizes. They feature low connector insertion loss to ensure proper operation upon installation. Other types of fiber cable have different traits. In Fiber Optic Communication Patch Cables, we have a 100 different varieties of Singlemode and Multimode cables that can be bought anywhere from 1 m to 15 m in length.
