Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-SC/SC-OS2-1 SC/SC OS2 1m

The LYNX duplex patch cable LX-DPX-SC/SC-OS2-1 is a single-mode fiber optic cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. Built to the OS2 standard, this 1 meter SC-to-SC cable uses a 9/125µm core to minimize attenuation and preserve signal integrity over long distances. The duplex configuration provides two fibers within a single jacket for transmit and receive channels, making it suitable for point-to-point links in networks, server rooms and telecommunication racks.

Advantages

This SC/SC OS2 duplex cable offers low insertion loss and low back reflection thanks to single-mode construction and precision-terminated connectors. The 9/125µm core diameter provides consistent optical performance across standard single-mode systems. Its 1 m length is convenient for tidy patching in racks and cabinets while reducing excess fiber slack. The robust connector housings and polished endfaces ensure stable connections and long-term durability under normal handling conditions.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centers
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in telecom rooms
• Single-mode point-to-point links and optical network equipment testing
• High-density rack cabling where short, precise fiber runs are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC (female/male compatibility per standard SC interface)
• Length: 1 meter
• Typical applications: Long-distance single-mode transmission, data center patching

How to use

Route the duplex cable between SC ports on patch panels, switches or transceivers, ensuring correct fiber orientation for transmit and receive channels. Insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or port until it clicks into place; avoid excessive bending or kinking of the fiber and maintain the minimum bend radius specified for single-mode cables. Before connection, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary to prevent signal degradation.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short chambered patch runs in racks and keep cable lengths as tidy as possible to reduce signal reflections and mechanical stress. Store and handle the fiber with care, avoid tight bends and secure the cable to cable management elements. For best performance, pair with compatible OS2-rated components and perform end-to-end optical loss testing when integrating into critical links.
