LC/UPC to SC/UPC Single Mode Duplex Fiber Patch Cord | OS2 Network Jumper

The LC/UPC to SC/UPC Single Mode Duplex (SM DX) is a widely utilized hybrid fiber cable that bridges high-density LC interfaces with standard SC networking ports. This “Blue-to-Blue” dual-core jumper is a staple for connecting SFP/SFP+ transceivers to Optical Distribution Frames (ODF) and patch panels.

Engineered for seamless integration in campus networks and commercial data centers, this cable provides the high bandwidth and low attenuation required for reliable, long-distance OS2 single-mode links.

Description

Key Benefits for Network Infrastructure

1. Hybrid Interface Flexibility

This cable provides an essential transition between the Small Form Factor (SFF) LC connector, ideal for high-density switches, and the SC connector, which is favored for its robust push-pull mechanism in terminal equipment and wall outlets.

2. Full-Duplex Data Throughput

The Duplex (DX) configuration consists of two color-coded fiber strands, enabling simultaneous two-way communication. This design simplifies cable routing for 10G/40G Ethernet applications that require dedicated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) paths.

3. Mechanical Resilience

With a pull strength rating of $\geq 200\text{N}$, these jumpers are designed to handle the physical strain of being routed through vertical conduits and crowded cable trays without risking micro-bends or core fractures.

4. International Safety Compliance

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is mandatory for indoor installations. In the event of extreme heat, it ensures minimal smoke and no toxic halogen emissions, protecting both critical hardware and site personnel.
