Patch Cord SC-SC Single Mode DX 3M

The Netsys NS-SCUPC-SCUPC-DX-SM-3M is a high-performance Single-mode (OS2) Duplex Fiber Patch Cord designed for high-speed data transmission with superior signal integrity.¹ At 3 meters (approx. 10 feet), this cable is the industry-standard length for cross-connecting switches, routers, and patch panels within a single rack or between adjacent cabinets.

Key Features

• Dual SC/UPC Connectors: Equipped with SC (Subscriber Connector) interfaces on both ends. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish on the blue-housed connectors ensures low insertion loss (≤ 0.3dB) and a high-precision “push-pull” fit.

• OS2 Single-mode Fiber: Features a precision 9/125µm core, optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. It supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet speeds, providing a high-bandwidth solution for modern network backbones.

• Optimal 3.0m Reach: This length provides sufficient slack for professional routing through vertical cable managers without the excessive bulk that can impede airflow and cooling in high-density environments.

• High Return Loss: The UPC finish offers a return loss of ≥ 50dB, effectively minimizing back-reflections to protect sensitive laser transmitters and maintain signal stability.

• Safety & Compliance: Encased in the industry-standard yellow jacket for Single-mode fiber, typically constructed from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material to comply with fire safety standards in enclosed data center spaces.
