Fiber Optic Patch Cord Duplex SC-SC 9/125 µm 2 mm jacket length 5 m, OEM PCSCSC9D5-2L

Duplex fiber optic patch cord SC-SC 9/125 µm with a 2 mm jacket and 5 m length provides standardized singlemode connectivity for network equipment, optical transceivers and patch panels. This SC-SC duplex cable uses 9/125 µm singlemode fiber to support long-reach, low-loss optical links in telecom, data center and laboratory environments. The 2 mm outer jacket balances flexibility and mechanical protection while the 5 m length covers common rack-to-rack and equipment-to-panel runs.

Advantages

The duplex SC-SC termination ensures stable, keyed connections with low insertion loss and predictable return loss characteristics compatible with singlemode systems. A 2 mm jacket offers higher abrasion resistance and straightforward routing through cable management trays while keeping bend sensitivity within typical handling limits for singlemode fiber. The 5 m length reduces the need for intermediate splices or additional cable management accessories when connecting adjacent equipment racks or patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical transceivers and switches in data centers
• Linking patch panels to active network equipment
• Laboratory test setups and fiber characterization
• Telecommunications singlemode backbone links within premises

Key specifications

• Connector type: Duplex SC to SC
• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm
• Outer jacket diameter: 2 mm
• Cable length: 5 meters
• Cable construction: Duplex, keyed SC connectors
• Typical performance: Low insertion loss suitable for singlemode links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile load; maintain bend radii consistent with singlemode fiber handling practices. Insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks, ensuring proper polarity for duplex links. When disconnecting, press the SC latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector or port.

Usage recommendations

Store the patch cord in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use, and use dust caps on connectors during transport. For critical links, verify insertion and return loss with an appropriate test instrument after installation and replace the cable if endface damage or elevated loss is detected.
