Optical patch cable SIMPLEX SC–SC 9/125 µm SM OS2 1 m

Single‑mode simplex optical patch cable with SC–SC male connectors, 9/125 µm core/cladding and OS2 specification. This 1 m cable is intended for patching and interconnecting telecom and data equipment in racks, patch panels and optical distribution frames. The cable supports low insertion loss and stable single‑mode transmission suitable for long‑distance links and network maintenance.

Advantages

The cable offers single‑mode OS2 performance with a 9/125 µm fiber geometry that minimises attenuation and modal dispersion over long runs. SC male connectors on both ends provide a reliable push‑pull coupling and consistent connector alignment for repeatable connections. The simplex design reduces bulk in high‑density panels and simplifies point‑to‑point interconnects. The 1 m length is convenient for short patching runs in racks and patch panels where excessive slack is undesirable.

Suitable for

• Patching between optical modules, patch panels and active equipment in data centres
• Interconnecting telecom equipment and optical distribution frames
• Network maintenance, testing and temporary links requiring single‑mode transmission
• Short intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where a 1 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single‑mode, OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC male to SC male (simplex)
• Length: 1 m
• Typical insertion loss: low (meets OS2 single‑mode performance expectations)
• Jacket: flexible, suitable for indoor/patching use

How to use

Route the 1 m SC–SC patch cable between the two desired ports, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Insert each SC connector into the respective adapter or transceiver until it clicks into place. Avoid tight bends and kinks in the fiber; maintain the manufacturer‑recommended minimum bend radius. When disconnecting, press the SC connector latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the ferrule or adapter.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, always inspect and, if necessary, clean SC connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before making connections. Use this simplex 1 m cable for short patching runs in racks and patch panels; choose longer OS2 cables for longer links. Store unused cables coiled loosely and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use.
