Patch Cord SC-SC Single Mode DX 1M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-SCUPC-DX-SM-1M is a high-performance Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Fiber Patch Cord designed for high-density, short-range connectivity. At 1 meter (approx. 3.3 feet), this cable is the standard choice for “in-rack” patching, allowing for direct connections between equipment while minimizing cable clutter and maintaining optimal airflow.

Key Features

• Dual SC/UPC Connectors: Equipped with SC connectors on both ends featuring an Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish. The blue-housed, “push-pull” connectors ensure a secure, high-precision fit with low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB).

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Built with a 9/125µm core, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. It supports high-speed data rates of 10G, 40G, and 100G with virtually unlimited bandwidth over this short distance.

• Precise 1.0m Length: Ideal for connecting switches, routers, or patch panels in adjacent rack units (RU). This short length prevents “cable spaghetti,” making it easier to manage and trace connections during maintenance.

• High Signal Integrity: The UPC finish provides a return loss of ≥ 50dB, which protects sensitive laser transceivers by significantly reducing back-reflections.

• Safety & Standards: Features the industry-standard yellow jacket for Single-mode fiber, made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to comply with fire safety regulations in data center environments.

Best Use Case

The NS-SCUPC-SCUPC-DX-SM-1M is best suited for localized hardware patching. It is commonly used to link a single-mode fiber switch port to an adjacent fiber patch panel or to connect two high-speed networking devices stacked within the same server cabinet.
