Patch Cord SC-LC Single Mode DX 10M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-10M is a high-performance Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed for reliable, long-distance connectivity between different hardware interfaces. At 10 meters (approx. 33 feet), this cable provides the necessary reach to bridge equipment across server racks or connect workstations to centralized distribution panels.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to LC Interface: Features SC/UPC connectors on one end and LC/UPC connectors on the other. This facilitates a seamless connection between legacy SC-style infrastructure (such as older fiber patch panels or media converters) and modern, high-density LC-based switches and transceivers.

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Built with a precision 9/125µm core, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. It offers virtually unlimited bandwidth and low signal attenuation, making it ideal for high-speed Gigabit and 10G/40G/100G uplinks over long distances.

• 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 an exceptionally low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and a high return loss (≥ 50dB), critical for maintaining signal integrity in single-mode networks.

• 10.0m Mid-Range Reach: The 10-meter length is perfect for “End-of-Row” or “Inter-Rack” patching, allowing for organized cable routing through overhead trays or underfloor conduits without the need for additional couplers.

• Standard Yellow Jacket: Wrapped in the industry-standard yellow jacket for Single-mode fiber, allowing for instant identification to prevent cross-connection with multimode systems.¹

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-10M is the preferred choice for network integration and upgrades. It is commonly used to connect modern switches with LC SFP ports to existing building backbones that terminate at SC-style fiber distribution frames located in the same room or an adjacent area.
