The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-15M is a high-performance Multimode (OM2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed to bridge connectivity between different generations of networking hardware over moderate distances. At 15 meters (approx. 49 feet), this cable provides the necessary reach to connect equipment across separate racks or between different server rooms within a facility.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to LC Connectivity: Features SC/UPC connectors on one end and LC/UPC connectors on the other. This allows for direct integration between legacy SC-port infrastructure (such as older patch panels) and modern, high-density LC networking hardware.

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

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors are precision-manufactured with a UPC finish (identifiable by their blue housings). This ensures low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and superior signal stability.

• 15.0m Extended Reach: This length is ideal for “Inter-Rack” patching, allowing for a continuous fiber link through overhead cable trays or under-floor conduits without the need for signal-degrading couplers.

• Duplex “Zipcord” Design: The dual-fiber construction supports simultaneous bi-directional data transfer (TX and RX), essential for modern networking transceivers.

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-15M is the perfect solution for infrastructure migration projects. It is commonly used when connecting a newer switch featuring LC SFP ports to a legacy building backbone that terminates at an SC-style fiber distribution frame located further away in the data center.
