Fiber optic cable ProXtend FO-SCSCOS2D-005 SC‑SC UPC OS2 Duplex 0.5 m

Duplex single-mode fiber optic patch cable ProXtend FO-SCSCOS2D-005 with SC to SC UPC connectors and OS2 fiber type. The 0.5 m duplex cable is designed for optical network connections that require low insertion loss and stable single-mode performance. It is suitable for linking patch panels, network switches and optical equipment where compact duplex cabling and predictable attenuation across long-distance or telecom-grade links are needed.

Advantages

This ProXtend single-mode fiber patch cable provides consistent optical performance with UPC-polished SC connectors to ensure low back reflection and reliable mating. The OS2 fiber type delivers low attenuation for long-distance signal transmission. Duplex construction keeps transmit and receive channels organized in a single compact assembly, simplifying cable management in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical patch panels and distribution frames
• Linking switches, media converters and optical transceivers
• Telecommunication and long-distance single-mode links
• Laboratory setups and testing environments requiring short patch lengths

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Connector type: SC–SC UPC duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Polish: Ultra Physical Contact (UPC)
• Configuration: duplex tight-buffered cable
• Typical use: indoor patching and equipment interconnects

How to use

Ensure both ends are clean and free from dust before insertion; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools or wipes. Align the SC connectors with the adapter or equipment port and insert until a click confirms proper engagement. Route the 0.5 m duplex cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment manufacturer. When disconnecting, press the release mechanism on the SC connector housing and pull straight out to avoid stress on the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in a clean environment, protect connector end-faces with dust caps when not in use, and follow standard fiber handling practices to preserve insertion loss and return loss performance. For critical links, verify continuity and attenuation with appropriate optical test equipment after installation.
