Optical patch cable SC-SC duplex singlemode 2 m

Singlemode optical patch cable SC-SC duplex 2 m is a factory-terminated fiber jumper designed for reliable singlemode connections between SC-terminated devices, patch panels and transceivers. The cable uses two parallel fibers in a duplex format with SC push-pull connectors on both ends and a 2 metre length suited to short rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel links in LAN, telecom and data centre environments. It provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance for singlemode network links where compact duplex connectivity is required.

Advantages

This SC-SC duplex singlemode patch cable delivers predictable low-loss transmission, simple push-pull mating convenience of SC connectors and stable alignment for singlemode signals. Its duplex construction keeps transmit and receive fibers together for easy routing, while the 2 m length reduces excess slack in typical rack and cabinet configurations. The cable is compatible with standard SC simplex/duplex adapters and most SC-terminated transceivers and patch panels used in enterprise and carrier installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting SC-terminated transceivers or modules to patch panels
• Patch cabling inside racks and cabinets in data centres
• LAN and telecom uplinks requiring singlemode duplex links
• Field and lab testing where standardized SC-SC singlemode jumpers are needed

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (SM)
• Connector type: SC to SC, duplex
• Length: 2 m
• Polish: typically UPC or APC depending on variant (verify before installation)
• Typical insertion loss: low (factory-terminated, singlemode performance)
• Cable configuration: duplex with jacketed sheath for protected routing

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools before connecting. Align SC connectors with the SC adapter or device port and insert until the push-pull latch engages. Ensure duplex orientation matches transmit and receive ports (observe color-coded or keyed sides if present). Route the 2 m cable avoiding tight bends and strain; secure with cable management to prevent stress on connectors. For removal, depress the SC latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment when possible. Use dust caps on unused connectors and avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm connector polish type (UPC vs APC) matches mating equipment to prevent elevated return loss. For permanent installations, document link endpoints and test insertion loss and continuity after installation.
