Opticord fibre optic cable Yellow 2m SC/SC

The Opticord fibre optic cable Yellow 2m SC/SC is a single-mode patch cable with a 9 µm core diameter designed for high-speed optical transmission. This 2-meter SC-to-SC lead features a durable yellow jacket for easy identification within structured cabling systems and is intended for use in telecommunications, data centre interconnects and other professional networking installations where low attenuation and consistent optical performance are required.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and stable single-mode transmission thanks to the 9 µm core, supporting long-distance and high-bandwidth links with minimal signal degradation. The SC connectors provide reliable push-pull coupling and good mechanical stability in rack-mounted panels and equipment. The bright yellow outer sheath improves visibility and helps maintain organized cable runs in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between network equipment and optical distribution frames
• Data centre trunking and server interconnects
• Telecommunications cabinets and central office connections
• Laboratory and test bench optical measurements

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: SC to SC
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Typical application: optical patching for telecom and data centre

How to use

Connect each SC connector into corresponding SC ports on devices or patch panels until the connectors click into place. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related attenuation; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable following standard cable management practices, avoiding tight bends that exceed the manufacturer's minimum bend radius and preventing physical strain on the connectors. When removing the cable, pull by the connector body rather than the jacket to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and keep protective caps on unused connectors. For consistent performance, inspect and clean connector endfaces periodically and avoid kinking or compressing the cable during installation. Use the cable for single-mode links where SC connectivity is required and follow local safety standards when installing in telecommunication racks and conduits.
