Patch Cord SC-LC Single Mode DX 20M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-20M is a professional-grade Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord engineered for high-bandwidth, long-distance signal transmission. At 20 meters (approx. 66 feet), this cable provides the necessary reach for “End-of-Row” patching or connecting equipment across large data center suites.

Key Features

• Hybrid SC to LC Interface: Equipped with SC/UPC connectors on one end and LC/UPC connectors on the other. This allows for direct integration between legacy SC-style patch panels or storage hardware and modern, high-density LC networking switches.

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Features a precision 9/125µm core, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Single-mode fiber is essential for maintaining signal integrity over long distances with minimal attenuation.¹

   

• Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors are finished with a precision UPC polish (identifiable by their blue housings). This ensures low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and a high return loss (≥ 50dB), preventing back-reflections that can damage sensitive laser transceivers.

• Substantial 20.0m Reach: This length is ideal for connecting hardware across separate racks or through overhead cable management systems where shorter patch cables cannot reach.

• Industry Standard Identification: Wrapped in a durable yellow jacket, the universal color code for Single-mode fiber, ensuring easy identification among multimode cabling.²

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-20M is specifically designed for infrastructure expansion and migration. It is the ideal solution for linking a modern network switch with LC SFP ports to an existing building backbone terminated at an SC-style distribution frame located in a different section of the facility.
