Optical patch cable SC-FC duplex singlemode 2 m

Singlemode optical patch cable with an SC connector on one end and an FC connector on the other, in a duplex configuration and 2 meters length. The cable is designed to connect fiber optic links in telecom infrastructures, data centers and network equipment. It provides low-loss singlemode transmission and compatible mating with SC and FC ports while keeping paired fibers organized for patch panels and active devices.

Advantages

The duplex SC-FC singlemode design reduces insertion loss and supports stable point-to-point connections between equipment with different connector types. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and enclosures. Durable connector housings and precise ferrule alignment ensure repeatable performance and simplified installation without the need for adapters in mixed SC/FC environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting telecom equipment and optical transceivers
• Patch panel connections in data center racks
• Linking active network devices with SC and FC ports
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring duplex singlemode links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (SM)
• Connector A: SC duplex (push-pull)
• Connector B: FC duplex (screw type)
• Configuration: duplex, two fibers
• Length: 2 m
• Typical insertion loss: low (singlemode-grade)
• Jacket: standard networking jacket suitable for rack and patch panel use

How to use

Route the duplex cable through cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and strain. Align the SC connector with the corresponding SC port and insert until it locks. Align the FC connector with the FC port, engage the connector and tighten the screw coupling to secure the connection. Verify transmission with appropriate optical test equipment or by confirming link status on connected network devices. When removing, unlock the SC connector and unscrew the FC connector before withdrawing to prevent stress on the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Avoid tight bends (observe minimum bend radius for singlemode fiber), keep connector end-faces clean using proper fiber cleaning tools, and store unused ends with protective caps. For best performance in critical links, inspect connectors with a fiber inspection scope and perform insertion loss or OTDR checks after installation.
