Product Features

SC APC to SC APC Connector Configuration

The patch cord is terminated with SC APC connectors on both ends, utilizing angled physical contact polishing to minimize back reflection and ensure stable, high-quality signal transmission.

OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Performance

Built with OS2 9/125 micrometer single-mode fiber, this patch cord supports long-distance transmission with low attenuation, making it suitable for high-speed optical networks.

Duplex Cable Design

The duplex configuration allows simultaneous bidirectional communication, supporting transmit and receive signals within a single cable assembly.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen Jacket

The LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and produces minimal smoke without toxic halogens, making it safe for use in indoor and enclosed environments such as data centers and office buildings.

Low Insertion Loss and High Return Loss

Precision ceramic ferrules and APC polishing deliver typical insertion loss of 0.3 dB or less and high return loss of at least 60 dB, ensuring excellent signal integrity.

Factory Tested and Reliable

Each patch cord is factory tested to meet international performance standards, providing consistent reliability for mission-critical network installations.
