Fiber optic patch cord electro base SC to LC duplex singlemode 2.0 m LSZH

Fiber optic patch cord electro base SC to LC duplex singlemode 2.0 m LSZH is a singlemode duplex jumper designed for point-to-point optical connections. The cable pairs an SC connector on one end with an LC connector on the other, in a duplex configuration that supports bidirectional links. The 2.0 m length balances flexibility and reach for rack-mounted equipment, fiber panels and network devices, while the LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire.

Advantages

This singlemode SC to LC duplex patch cord provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across typical singlemode wavelengths. The duplex configuration simplifies transmit/receive pairing and reduces the chance of mispatching. The LSZH outer jacket improves safety in confined or public spaces by emitting minimal smoke and no halogenated gases. Compact LC and robust SC connectors together offer a reliable mechanical interface for dense installations and legacy equipment.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications trunking and interconnects
• Data center patch panels and server connections
• Network equipment interlinks (switches, routers, media converters)
• Floor-to-rack fiber runs in office and commercial environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (OS2 compatible)
• Connector configuration: duplex (SC on one end, LC on the other)
• Cable length: 2.0 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)
• Polish/type: standard UPC/APC options typical for singlemode connectors
• Diameter and bend performance: suitable for standard rack and panel routing

How to use

Route the 2.0 m patch cord between the desired SC and LC ports, ensuring duplex orientation matches transmit and receive pairs. Insert the SC connector with a push-pull action until it locks, and insert the LC connector into the corresponding duplex adapter or port until it clicks. Avoid excessive bending and secure the cable using cable management hardware to maintain minimum bend radius. Before finalizing connections, inspect connector endfaces and clean if necessary using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to ensure optimal signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Store the patch cord coiled without tight loops and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. For installations in public or enclosed spaces where fire safety is a concern, prefer LSZH-jacketed cables. Regularly inspect and clean connectors in environments with frequent reconnections to preserve low insertion loss.
