Description
OEM SC-SC APC Fiber Patch Cord
The OEM SC-SC APC OS2 single-mode patch cable provides high-bandwidth data transmission over a 20-meter distance. This optical jumper utilizes G.652.D compliant glass to maintain signal integrity across long-haul enterprise networks. Network engineers deploy these cables to connect optical line terminals and network switches. The green SC/APC connectors feature an 8-degree angled polish to reduce back reflections. This design achieves a return loss exceeding 65dB, which protects sensitive laser equipment from feedback.
The 9/125 micron core and cladding construction supports wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm. It meets OS2 standards, offering lower attenuation than older OS1 specifications. The 20-meter length suits connections between racks in large data centers or across different rooms in an office complex. Each connector uses a push-pull latching mechanism for secure seating in high-density patch panels. The ceramic ferrules ensure precise alignment of the fiber cores to minimize insertion loss.
The outer jacket consists of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material to comply with modern fire safety regulations. This material produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases if exposed to high heat. The 2.0mm diameter provides enough flexibility for tight routing in cable management trays. Every cable undergoes rigorous factory testing for insertion loss and return loss before deployment. These test results ensure the cable meets TIA/EIA standards for optical performance.
Single-mode fiber serves as the backbone for modern telecommunications because it eliminates modal dispersion. This allows for higher data rates over much longer distances than multi-mode alternatives. The SC-SC configuration remains one of the most common standards in the industry due to its durability and ease of use. This specific 20-meter variant provides the necessary reach for medium-distance infrastructure links. It supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications depending on the transceivers used.
The OS2 classification guarantees an attenuation of 0.4 dB/km or less at 1310nm. This performance level allows for transmission distances up to 10 kilometers without significant signal degradation. The SC/APC interface is particularly critical in RF video and FTTX applications where signal stability is paramount. The angled end-face ensures that any reflected light exits the fiber core into the cladding.

Consequently, this cable ensures long-term reliability for mission-critical network backbones.
Samuel Kamau (verified owner) –
It’s a basic patch cord. Does the job but the outer yellow jacket feels a bit thin compared to the high-end branded ones I usually use. For the price though, you can’t complain much, it gets the connection done.
Evans Otieno (verified owner) –
I was a bit skeptical about the APC polish quality at this price point, but these are actually quite good. Tested the dB loss on my fluke and it’s well within the standard range for OS2. It’s a solid, cost-effective option for anyone doing a bulk setup in a local data center without overspending.
Fatuma Hassan (verified owner) –
Quality is decent for an OEM cord. Used it to link two switches across the hall in our Westlands office. Signal is very stable on single mode and the connectors click in securely.
Sarah Wanjiku (verified owner) –
Delivery was fast to Thika. Cable works as advertised.
Maina K. Njuguna (verified owner) –
Safi sana. The 20m length was exactly what I needed for the server room extension. No issues with the signal loss at all.
Njeri M. Gichuru (verified owner) –
Bought this for a client’s CCTV fiber backbone. The green APC connectors fit perfectly into the media converters and the 20-meter length saved us from having to do extra splicing in the ceiling. Very convenient.
