Patch cord Alantec SC‑SC duplex singlemode 9/125 µm 2.0 m

Alantec SC‑SC duplex singlemode patch cord, 9/125 µm, 2.0 m is a factory-terminated fiber optic cable designed for connecting singlemode equipment with SC duplex interfaces. The cable provides two independent optical channels in a single jacket and is intended for low-loss signal transmission in premises or rack-mounted systems. With SC duplex connectors on both ends, this patch cord supports straightforward insertion into standard SC adaptors and panel ports found in data centers, telecom racks and optical instruments.

Advantages

The SC‑SC duplex design delivers two channels in a compact form factor, enabling simultaneous transmission and reception over separate fibers. Using a 9/125 µm singlemode fiber core reduces modal dispersion for long-distance and high-bandwidth links. Factory-terminated ferrules and polished connector endfaces ensure consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics, while the durable jacket maintains bend resistance and mechanical protection for typical indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and patch panel connections
• Telecommunication rack-to-rack fiber links
• Interconnection of optical transceivers and network equipment
• Fiber optic test setups and laboratory benches

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC duplex on both ends
• Cable length: 2.0 m
• Number of channels: two (duplex)
• Suitable environment: indoor, patching and rack installations

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and ensure adapters or ports are clean before insertion. Align and insert each SC connector into the corresponding port or adaptor until it clicks into place. For duplex connections, maintain correct orientation so transmit and receive fibers match the intended channels. Avoid sharp bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors; if necessary, use cable management accessories to keep the 2.0 m patch cord organized within racks or patch panels.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cleaning tools or wipes to remove dust from ferrules before connection, avoid bending below the minimum bend radius, and handle connectors by the boot or housing to prevent contamination and mechanical stress. For critical links, perform insertion loss and return loss measurements after installation.
