The Netsys NS-SCUPC-LCUPC-DX-SM-5M is a high-performance Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Hybrid Patch Cord designed for precise data transmission in enterprise and carrier-grade environments. At 5 meters (approx. 16.4 feet), this cable offers the necessary flexibility for routing between racks or through overhead cable management systems.
Key Features
-
Hybrid SC to LC Connectivity: 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 infrastructure (like older patch panels) and modern, high-density LC networking equipment.
-
OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Built with a 9/125µm core, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths.1 It supports high-speed data rates including 10G, 40G, and 100G with minimal signal attenuation.
-
Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) Polish: Both the SC and LC connectors are finished with a precision UPC polish (blue housings), ensuring low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and a high return loss (≥ 50dB) to protect sensitive laser transceivers.
-
Versatile 5.0m Reach: This length is ideal for “Across-the-Rack” patching, providing sufficient slack to route cables neatly through vertical managers while maintaining a clean, professional installation.
-
Safety & Identification: Encased in an industry-standard yellow LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, making it easy to identify as Single-mode fiber and safe for use in enclosed plenum spaces.
