InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 9/125µm OS2 3m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 9/125µm OS2 3m is designed to provide stable and low-loss data transmission in demanding network environments. Built with OS2 single-mode 9/125µm fibre optic type and equipped with dual SC connectors on both ends, this 3-meter patch cable ensures reliable full-duplex communication for high-speed networking and telecommunication infrastructures. The construction features a halogen-free LSZH jacket, making it suitable for installations requiring enhanced safety standards.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable utilizes single-mode OS2 technology, which is specifically engineered for applications requiring long reach and consistent signal quality over extended distances. The dual-fibre duplex construction allows for simultaneous data transmission and reception in both directions. Precision-molded SC connectors ensure secure mating with compatible network interfaces, minimizing insertion loss. Additionally, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable jacket reduces toxic gas emissions and smoke density in the event of fire, supporting safe deployment in sensitive public or corporate buildings.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers, and patch panels with SC interfaces
• Structured fibre optic cabling in local area networks and telecommunication rooms
• High-speed data transfer over long distances in enterprise environments
• Installations requiring halogen-free cable materials for improved safety

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for connecting equipment that utilizes different connector types, such as LC or ST interfaces, without the use of appropriate adapters or converters. Furthermore, because it features single-mode OS2 fibre, it is generally unnecessary for short-range internal connections where multimode cabling is typically deployed.

How to use

Before installation, inspect the SC connectors for any dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Carefully align the connector plug with the port on your network device, ensuring the latch mechanism matches the port orientation. Push the connector straight in until you hear or feel a click, indicating that it is securely locked in place. Route the cable carefully, avoiding sharp bends or excessive pulling tension that could damage the internal glass fibres.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network devices are equipped with SC optical ports
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 3-meter distance is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm whether single-mode OS2 specification matches your existing network infrastructure requirements
• Assess building safety regulations to ensure LSZH jacket requirements are met

Usage recommendations: Handle the fibre optic cable with care during installation and avoid exceeding the recommended minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or fibre breakage. Always use protective dust caps on connectors when the cable is temporarily disconnected.
