SC APC to SC APC Duplex OS2, 1.2mm, lszh Fiber Patch Cable

Upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a SC APC interface on one end and a SC APC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a whole assembly. The duplex zipcord construction keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one assembly for fast, error-free patching.

Product Highlights

• G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius

• Thinner Cable Diameter Delivers Enhanced Flexibility for Tight Spaces and Complex Routing
• Flame-Retardant Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Ensures Safety in Indoor Environments
• Color-Coded Cable Jacket for Easy Identification

Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and each wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in the finished assembly is the same category used in the outside plant, meaning that this jumper assembly is not designed to become the weak point of the channel budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the mating connector pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and might damage the ferrules, meaning that the patch side must agree with the mounted panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the mating connector housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Normal length options cover the common patching routes: 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), with project-specific length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the relevant connectors.

Each finished assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The completed cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result available on request.

Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length when seeking a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will determine the build before the product is built. For upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
