The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-20M is a professional-grade Multimode (OM2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed to bridge connectivity between different connector interfaces over significant distances. At 20 meters (approx. 66 feet), this cable provides the reach necessary for “Inter-Room” or “End-of-Row” patching in large data centers and office environments.

Key Features

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

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

   

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors feature a UPC finish (identifiable by their blue housings).² This precision finish ensures low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and superior signal stability across the 20-meter run.

   

• Substantial 20.0m Reach: This length is ideal for connecting equipment across large server rooms or linking a central distribution hub to remote workstations without needing intermediate couplers.

• Duplex “Zipcord” Design: The dual-fiber construction supports simultaneous bi-directional data transfer (TX and RX), which is mandatory for standard fiber optic transceivers.

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-20M is best suited for cross-generation network expansion. It is commonly used when connecting modern network switches (LC ports) to legacy building backbones that terminate at an SC-style distribution frame located in a different part of the facility.
