Optical patch cable SC‑SC Duplex Singlemode 15 m

Singlemode optical patch cable SC‑SC Duplex, 15 m, provides two singlemode fibers in a duplex assembly for point-to-point connections. The cable uses SC male connectors on both ends and is designed for indoor networks where low insertion loss and consistent singlemode performance are required. It is suitable for connecting equipment in telecom racks, patch panels and fiber distribution frames where reliable optical links are needed over short to medium distances.

Advantages

The SC‑SC Duplex singlemode patch cable delivers stable singlemode transmission with low attenuation across both fiber channels. Its duplex construction keeps the two fibers paired and aligned for straightforward installation and management in racks and panels. SC connectors offer simple push‑pull mating and a standardized form factor compatible with most enterprise and telecom equipment. The 15 m length offers flexibility for structured cabling runs without intermediate splices in typical indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network switches, transceivers and media converters in telecom racks
• Patch panel to equipment connections in data centers and server rooms
• Fiber distribution frames and structured cabling backbones in buildings
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring defined singlemode links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (SM)
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Number of fibers: 2 (duplex)
• Length: 15 meters
• Jacket type: indoor-rated cable jacket
• Typical insertion loss: low (designed for singlemode links)
• Return loss: compliant with singlemode performance expectations

How to use

Route the cable along the planned path within racks or cable trays, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain. Insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks into place; ensure correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. If necessary, secure the cable with Velcro straps or cable management accessories to prevent movement. For testing, verify continuity and loss with appropriate fiber test equipment before putting the link into production.

Usage recommendations

Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified for the fiber to maintain optical performance. Keep connector endfaces clean and protected with dust caps when not in use; use proper fiber cleaning tools before mating. Use indoor-rated pathways and avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight to preserve jacket integrity and long-term reliability.
