BlueOptics Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC to SC-APC Singlemode OS2 2 Meter

The BlueOptics Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC to SC-APC Singlemode OS2 2 Meter is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed for reliable and low-loss connections in singlemode networks. This patch cable features SC connectors with UPC polish on one end and APC polish on the other, ensuring optimal signal integrity for applications requiring high return loss. The duplex design provides two fibers for bidirectional communication, and the LSZH jacket makes it suitable for indoor installations where safety is a priority.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional performance with low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥50 dB for UPC, ≥60 dB for APC), minimizing signal reflection and ensuring stable data transmission. The OS2 singlemode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications over long distances. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, making it ideal for use in data centers, telecom rooms, and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers, and patch panels in singlemode fiber optic networks
• FTTx (Fiber to the x) deployments
• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-density cabling
• Telecommunications and broadband infrastructure
