Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-SC/SC-OS2-15 SC/SC SM 9/125µm 15m

The LYNX LX-DPX-SC/SC-OS2-15 duplex patch cable is a single-mode fiber optic link engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission. It uses SC connectors on both ends and a 9/125 µm core/cladding structure (single-mode) to maintain signal integrity over distances up to 15 meters. The cable is intended for rack-to-rack links, patch panels and device interconnections in professional network and telecom installations where consistent low-loss performance and predictable optical characteristics are required.

Advantages

This SC/SC single-mode patch cable provides low insertion loss and stable optical performance thanks to the 9/125 µm fiber construction. Duplex design supports bidirectional data paths or parallel transmit/receive channels. The standardized SC terminations ensure secure push-pull mating and compatibility with common network equipment. The 15 m length allows flexible placement of network devices while keeping signal attenuation within the expected range for short single-mode runs.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical transceivers in switches, routers and servers
• Patching between patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Short single-mode links within data centers and telecom rooms
• Point-to-point fiber connections for voice, data and fiber channel

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (9/125 µm)
• Connector type: SC on both ends (duplex)
• Length: 15 meters
• Cable structure: duplex patch cable
• Suitable wavelength range: standard single-mode telecom wavelengths (e.g., 1310 nm, 1550 nm)

How to use

Route the duplex cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent microbending losses. Align and insert the SC connectors into corresponding SC ports until they click into place. Verify transmit/receive orientation when connecting transceivers: the two fibers form a pair for Tx and Rx channels and must be connected accordingly. After installation, test the link with appropriate optical test equipment to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of connector endfaces. Clean connector endfaces before mating using lint-free wipes and appropriate fiber cleaning tools. For permanent installations, use cable management panels and protective boots to reduce strain and maintain long-term optical performance.
