Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77827 15m SC Yellow

The ShiverPeaks BS77827 15m SC Yellow fibre optic cable is a single-mode patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in structured networks. With a 9 µm core diameter and compliance with OS1/OS2 standards, this 15-metre cable provides low attenuation and stable performance for long-distance links and indoor backbone installations. The cable is terminated with SC connectors arranged for full duplex operation and is identified by its yellow jacket for easy visual differentiation.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers consistent single-mode transmission characteristics and compatibility with standard OS1/OS2 infrastructures, supporting low loss and minimal signal dispersion. The 9 µm core ensures precise light propagation for high bandwidth and extended reach, while SC connectors provide a push-pull coupling mechanism that is simple to install and maintain. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or patching panel connections.

Suitable for

• Server room and data centre patching
• Backbone and riser connections in commercial buildings
• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical transceivers
• Lab and testbench single-mode fibre measurements

Key specifications

• Cable type: single-mode (SMF)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SC to SC, full duplex
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Standards: OS1/OS2
• Jacket color: yellow

How to use

Before installation, verify that both ends are clean and free of dust or debris using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Route the cable along existing cable management pathways to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre to prevent microbending losses. Plug the SC connectors into matching SC ports on fibre patch panels, transceivers or network equipment until the push-pull latch engages. For duplex connections ensure correct pairing of Tx and Rx channels. Label each end if necessary to document link endpoints.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid pulling on the connectors; use the cable jacket for routing. Use appropriate fibre inspection and cleaning procedures before each connection. For installations requiring outdoor exposure or additional mechanical protection, consider using conduit or armored solutions appropriate to the environment.
