OEM OS2 SC to LC UPC Single Mode Patch Cord

SC-LC OS2 Patch Cord

The OEM OS2 Patch Cord facilitates high-speed data transmission over long distances in enterprise networks. This fiber optic jumper utilizes 9/125 micron single-mode glass. It supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications. The SC to LC configuration allows interfacing between legacy hardware and modern high-density switches. Each connector features an Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish to minimize back reflections. The assembly meets TIA-568.3-D standards for optical fiber cabling components. This ensures reliable performance in backbone and horizontal distribution environments. The yellow jacket follows standard color coding for single-mode identification. This helps technicians quickly distinguish fiber types in congested racks.

Key Features

• Precision Ceramic Ferrules
  Zirconia ceramic ferrules provide exact core alignment to maintain signal integrity across multiple connections.

• Low Attenuation Glass

  • G.652.D compliant glass eliminates the hydroxyl ion water peak.
  • Attenuation remains under 0.35dB/km at 1310nm for long-reach efficiency.

• Flame Retardant Jacket
  The Low Smoke Zero Halogen construction reduces hazardous emissions in the event of a fire.

• Duplex Configuration

  • Two fibers joined by a zipcord web allow for simultaneous bidirectional data flow.
  • Removable clips on the LC end permit easy polarity reversal when required.

Signal attenuation remains under 0.35 dB/km at 1310nm. It stays under 0.22 dB/km at 1550nm. The G.652.D glass type eliminates the water peak. This allows operation across the entire E-band spectrum. Every unit undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss and return loss. Technicians receive a test report with each batch. Additionally, the 2.0mm jacket provides flexibility for routing through cable management trays. It withstands a minimum bend radius of 30mm. This prevents macro-bend losses. The operating temperature range spans from -20 to +70 degrees Celsius. The aramid yarn strength member protects the glass during installation pulls. It provides a tensile load capacity of 100N. The SC connector housing uses a standard 2.5mm ferrule. The LC end uses a 1.25mm ferrule. This transition enables connectivity between different hardware generations. Each connector includes a protective dust cap. These caps prevent contamination of the polished end-face. Contamination is the primary cause of link failure in fiber networks. The UPC finish creates a slightly domed surface. This ensures physical contact between fiber cores. It reduces the air gap that causes Fresnel reflections. This patch cord maintains stability over 500 mating cycles. The manufacturing process adheres to RoHS and REACH environmental standards.
