SC/UPC–SC/UPC-62.5/125-DX Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Description

Optimized for Installed Fiber Infrastructure

Large amounts of 62.5/125 μm multimode fiber are still installed worldwide in schools, hospitals, factories, and office buildings. This patch cord lets those networks stay operational without costly re-cabling, while maintaining clean signal quality at 850 nm and 1300 nm.

Technical Characteristics

What It’s Commonly Used For

This cable is widely deployed in:

• Fiber patch panels and wall outlets

• Enterprise and campus networks

• Security and surveillance fiber systems

• Industrial control and monitoring networks

• Legacy telecom and LAN backbones

Its 62.5 µm core provides excellent tolerance to connector alignment, making it particularly forgiving in high-mating-cycle environments.

Built for Long-Term Reliability

Every SC/UPC–SC/UPC-DX patch cord is manufactured using high-precision ceramic ferrules and UPC-polished end faces, then tested for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry. This ensures consistent optical performance even after thousands of insertions.

The LSZH jacket option also supports modern fire-safety regulations for indoor and public-building installations.

Professional Q&A

Q1: Can this cable support Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes. OM1 62.5/125 fiber supports 1G Ethernet up to 275 meters at 850 nm.

Q2: Why is SC still used in many buildings?
SC connectors are durable, easy to handle, and highly reliable, making them popular in patch panels and wall outlets.

Q3: Is this suitable for 10G?
No. OM1 fiber is not designed for 10G Ethernet over standard distances. It is intended for Fast Ethernet and 1G.

Q4: Can it be installed in modern buildings?
Yes, especially in renovations and expansions where existing 62.5/125 fiber is reused to save cost.
