Patch Cord SC-ST Single Mode DX 3M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-STUPC-DX-SM-3M is a high-performance Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Fiber Patch Cord designed to bridge the gap between different generations of fiber optic hardware. At 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), this hybrid cable is the perfect solution for cross-connecting modern SC-based equipment with legacy ST-based systems within the same rack.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to ST Connectors: Features a Duplex SC connector on one end (push-pull) and Dual ST connectors on the other (bayonet-style twist lock). Both ends feature an Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish, ensuring high precision and low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB).

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Built with a precision 9/125µm core, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. It supports high-speed data rates including 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet, providing a high-bandwidth path even for older hardware interfaces.

• 3.0m Versatile Reach: This length offers the ideal amount of slack for professional routing through vertical cable managers, allowing for a tidy installation without the clutter of excess cabling.

• Superior Signal Integrity: The UPC finish provides a high return loss (≥50 dB), which protects sensitive laser transmitters from back-reflections, a critical requirement for single-mode long-haul optics.

• Safety & Identification: Encased in the industry-standard yellow jacket for Single-mode fiber. The jacket is made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, which is safer for use in data centers as it emits limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high heat.

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-STUPC-DX-SM-3M is essential for legacy-to-modern network integration. It is commonly used to connect newer single-mode switches or routers (using SC ports) to existing ST-terminated patch panels or older telecommunications equipment.
