Patch Cord SC-LC Multi Mode OM2 DX 5M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-OM2-5M is a high-performance Multimode (OM2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed for reliable data transmission in enterprise networking environments. At 5 meters (approx. 16.4 feet), this cable provides the extra reach needed to connect networking hardware across different sections of a rack or through overhead cable management.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to LC Interface: Features an SC/UPC connector on one end and an LC/UPC connector on the other. This facilitates a direct link between legacy SC-style equipment (like older media converters or patch panels) and modern, high-density LC-based switches and transceivers.

• OM2 Multimode Fiber: Engineered with a 50/125µm core, optimized for Gigabit Ethernet applications.¹ It supports data rates of 1 Gbps up to 550 meters, providing a stable and cost-effective solution for standard corporate backbones.

   

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors are precision-manufactured with a UPC finish (identifiable by their blue housings).² This ensures low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and superior signal integrity.

   

• Versatile 5.0m Reach: The 5-meter length is ideal for routing through vertical cable managers or small cable trays, offering flexibility for connecting non-adjacent equipment while maintaining a professional and tidy cabinet.

• Durable Design: Wrapped in the industry-standard orange jacket for OM2 fiber. The duplex “zipcord” construction allows for simultaneous bi-directional data flow (TX and RX).
