Patch cord SC–SC duplex singlemode 0.5 m, electro base, LSZH

Electro base SC–SC duplex singlemode 0.5 m patch cord with LSZH jacket is a short fiber patch cable designed for reliable single-fiber transmit/receive (DX) connections in telecom and datacom environments. The cable features SC duplex connectors on both ends and a low-smoke zero-halogen sheath for reduced toxic emissions in case of fire. Its compact 0.5 m length makes it suitable for interconnections inside racks, patch panels and between nearby devices where minimal slack and organized cabling are required.

Advantages

This SC–SC duplex singlemode patch cord provides stable single-fiber transmission with standard SC connectors that ensure secure mechanical mating and low insertion loss. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and corrosive gas emissions in enclosed spaces, improving safety in data centers and telecommunication rooms. The short 0.5 m length helps maintain tidy cable management and reduces excess cable loops while delivering consistent optical performance for short interconnections.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections in telecom and datacom racks
• Connections between patch panels and active equipment
• Single-fiber transmit/receive (DX) links in network cabinets
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC duplex to SC duplex
• Fiber type: singlemode (OS1/OS2 compatible)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Configuration: duplex, for transmit/receive (DX) use
• Typical insertion loss: industry-standard low loss for singlemode SC connections

How to use

Route the patch cord between the SC ports on patch panels, switches or transceivers, ensuring the duplex keying and transmit/receive alignment match the equipment requirements. Insert each SC connector until the latch clicks to ensure proper seating. Avoid tight bends and maintain the cable bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer; secure the cable to rack management elements to prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end-faces before mating, use appropriate dust caps when idle, and avoid routing the LSZH cable near high-heat sources. For installations in safety-sensitive or enclosed public spaces, choose LSZH-sheathed fiber to reduce risk from smoke and corrosive gases during a fire event.
