Duplex SM Patch Cord OEM PCSCSC9D3-2L 3 m, 2 mm fiber optic cable, SC-SC connectors

Duplex SM Patch Cord OEM PCSCSC9D3-2L is a 3 m single-mode fiber optic cable with SC connectors on both ends (SC-SC) and a 2 mm outer jacket. Designed for duplex data transmission, the cable provides a straightforward link between fiber patch panels, switches and optical instruments. Its single-mode construction supports long-distance, low-loss signal transfer and maintains stable performance in telecommunication and data center environments.

Advantages

The SC-SC duplex configuration offers simple plug-and-play installation and consistent channel pairing for bidirectional communication. The 2 mm jacket combines flexibility and mechanical protection for indoor routing and patching. Single-mode fiber reduces attenuation and dispersion for clearer signals over extended runs, and factory-terminated SC connectors ensure repeatable insertion loss and return loss within typical industry tolerances.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Connecting optical transceivers and switches in telecommunications racks
• Linking test equipment and measurement instruments
• Short- to medium-distance single-mode runs in data centers and central offices

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (SM)
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket diameter: 2 mm
• Connector types: SC to SC duplex
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers in one assembly)
• Application environment: indoor, rack and panel installations

How to use

Verify that the connector interfaces on both ends match the equipment ports (SC). Clean connector end-faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion to minimize loss. Insert each SC connector into the corresponding port until it clicks into place, ensuring correct duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding tight radii and excessive tension. For removal, depress the SC latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fiber or connector.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the patch cord by coiling it loosely around a hand or cable reel. Avoid bending the cable below the recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber and protect connector end-faces with dust caps when not in use. Use approved fiber cleaners and inspection microscopes for end-face verification to maintain low insertion loss and reliable network performance.
