Duplex patch cord electro base SC/APC to SC/UPC 1 m LSZH

Duplex patch cord electro base SC/APC to SC/UPC 1 m LSZH is a single-mode optical fiber assembly with one SC/APC connector on one end and one SC/UPC connector on the other, manufactured for duplex connections. The 1 metre length and LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) outer jacket make this cord suitable for installations where space is constrained and reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions are required. The cable supports reliable optical transmission between equipment with APC and UPC endfaces, commonly used in data centers, telecom cabinets and fiber distribution panels.

Advantages

This duplex patch cord provides low insertion loss and stable return loss performance by combining angled-polish (APC) and ultra-polish (UPC) endfaces to match diverse equipment interfaces. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and is appropriate for indoor use in public and commercial buildings. The compact SC duplex form factor simplifies connection in high-density panels while the 1 m length minimizes excess slack for tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber links between transceivers and patch panels
• Interconnecting telecom racks and optical distribution frames
• Data center fiber patching where LSZH jacket is required
• Laboratory and testbench fiber provisioning with APC-to-UPC interfaces

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if required. Align each SC connector with its corresponding adapter or port, ensuring the APC end mates to a compatible APC receptacle and the UPC end to a compatible UPC receptacle to maintain return loss expectations. Route the cord along existing cable management paths, avoid tight bends and secure with cable ties or Velcro straps to prevent strain. For best optical performance, avoid repeated mating cycles beyond recommended connector life and protect unused connectors with dust caps.

Использование и хранение

Store the patch cord in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or temperatures outside the equipment operating range. When transporting, coil without sharp bends and use protective pouches to prevent endface contamination or mechanical damage.
