OEM SC-SC APC OS2 3m Fiber Patch Cord

OEM SC-SC APC Fiber

The OEM SC-SC APC OS2 serves as a critical component for high-density fiber optic networks. This singlemode patch cord facilitates 10Gbps and 40Gbps data transmission over long distances. The 3-meter length provides sufficient reach for rack-to-rack connections. It utilizes 9/125 micron glass fiber compliant with ITU-T G.652.D standards. The Angled Physical Contact (APC) finish on both SC connectors minimizes signal degradation. This specific polish reduces back-reflections to levels below -60dB. Such performance remains essential for CATV, FTTX, and passive optical networks.

Engineers specify these jumpers for environments requiring low insertion loss. The ceramic ferrules ensure precise alignment of the fiber cores. This precision prevents signal attenuation at the connection points. The yellow outer jacket indicates singlemode functionality according to TIA-598 standards. This Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material provides safety in confined spaces. It limits the release of corrosive gases during heat exposure. The cable assembly withstands repeated mating cycles without significant performance loss. Each connector includes a dust cap to protect the polished end-face.

The OS2 rating guarantees performance across the 1310nm to 1550nm wavelength spectrum. Attenuation remains low, typically around 0.35 dB/km at 1310nm. This cable supports high-speed Ethernet protocols and storage area network (SAN) traffic. The push-pull locking mechanism of the SC connector allows for quick installation. It provides a secure fit in high-vibration environments. The strain relief boots prevent damage from tight bends near the termination. This product meets RoHS compliance for environmental safety. It undergoes individual testing for geometric and optical parameters. Network technicians rely on this cable for stable backbone infrastructure.

The fiber core consists of high-purity silica glass. A 125-micron cladding layer surrounds the 9-micron core to guide light effectively. This construction supports long-reach optics like 10GBASE-LR and 100GBASE-LR4. The APC geometry features an 8-degree angle. This design directs reflected light into the cladding rather than back to the source. It protects sensitive laser diodes in high-power optical systems. Consequently, the link maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio. The simplex configuration provides a single strand for unidirectional or bi-directional communication. The 3.0mm jacket diameter offers physical durability in cable management trays. It resists pulling forces during installation through conduits. This cable operates reliably between -20 and +70 degrees Celsius. It maintains optical stability despite temperature fluctuations in the data center.
