Patch Cord SC-LC Multi Mode OM2 DX 25M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-25M is an enterprise-grade Multimode (OM2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed for long-reach connectivity between legacy and modern networking equipment. At 25 meters (approx. 82 feet), this cable is ideal for spanning large data centers, connecting separate server rooms, or linking distribution frames to remote network racks.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to LC Connectivity: Features SC/UPC connectors on one end and LC/UPC connectors on the other.¹ This enables direct patching between older SC-style hardware (such as legacy switches or patch panels) and modern, high-density LC-based equipment.

• OM2 Multimode Fiber: Built with a 50/125µm core, optimized for Gigabit Ethernet.² It supports data rates of 1 Gbps up to 550 meters and 10 Gbps up to 82 meters, providing a stable backbone for standard enterprise infrastructure.

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors are finished with a UPC polish (blue housings), ensuring low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and minimizing signal reflections over the extended 25-meter distance.

• Extended 25.0m Reach: This length is perfect for “Inter-Room” or “Building-to-Building” (within a campus) links, allowing for a continuous fiber run through conduits or cable trays without the need for signal-degrading couplers.

• Safety & Identification: Wrapped in the industry-standard orange jacket for OM2 fiber.³ The jacket is typically constructed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) materials, making it safe for use in plenums and enclosed spaces.

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-25M is best suited for legacy infrastructure bridging. It is the go-to solution for connecting modern enterprise switches with LC ports to older fiber backbones that terminate at an SC-style distribution frame located across a facility.
