The Netsys NS-LCUPC-STUPC-DX-OM2-3M is a high-performance Multimode (OM2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed to bridge the gap between different generations of networking hardware. At 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), this cable is ideal for interconnecting modern LC-based switches with legacy ST-based patch panels or older transmission equipment.
Key Features
Hybrid Connector Design: Features LC/UPC connectors on one end and ST/UPC connectors on the other. This allows for seamless integration between high-density SFP transceivers and traditional ST fiber infrastructures.
OM2 Multimode Fiber: Built with a 50/125µm core, optimized for Gigabit Ethernet applications.1 It supports data rates of 1 Gbps up to 550 meters, providing a reliable backbone for standard enterprise networks.
Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the LC and ST connectors are precision-polished to a UPC finish. This results in low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB), ensuring high signal quality and reducing data errors.
Optimal 3.0m Reach: The 3-meter length is the standard “patching distance,” offering enough flexibility to route through vertical cable managers without creating unmanageable cable bulk.
Duplex Configuration: The dual-fiber “zipcord” design supports simultaneous bi-directional data transfer (TX and RX), which is essential for high-speed networking equipment.2
