Televes OSK2SCFC 2m SC/APC to FC/UPC Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable

Optical networks demand reliable, low-loss connections, especially in FTTx and CATV deployments where signal integrity is critical. The Televes OSK2SCFC is a 2-meter single-mode fiber patch cord engineered to bridge SC/APC and FC/UPC interfaces with precision. Its 9/125 µm core/cladding and zirconia ceramic ferrules ensure minimal insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (≥60 dB on SC/APC, ≥50 dB on FC/UPC), making it ideal for high-bandwidth, long-distance links. The LSZH yellow jacket adds safety in enclosed spaces, while the 3 mm diameter balances flexibility and durability. This cable is a dependable component for technicians and integrators who need consistent performance in telecommunications, LAN, or broadcast environments.

Who is it for

This patch cord is built for network engineers, installers, and maintenance teams working on fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), cable TV headends, or enterprise backbone connections. It suits anyone who needs to connect equipment with different connector types—SC/APC on one end, FC/UPC on the other—without adapters or signal degradation. The 2-meter length is perfect for patching within racks, cabinets, or wall outlets. If you value low insertion loss, high return loss, and a flame-retardant jacket, this cable meets those requirements.

Tips

Always inspect connector end faces for dust or damage before mating; use a one-click cleaner for best results. When routing, avoid tight bends below the minimum bend radius (typically 30 mm for this cable) to prevent microbending losses. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider additional protection such as conduit, as the LSZH jacket is designed for indoor use. Store unused cables with dust caps on connectors to maintain performance.
