Patch Cable Type and Connectors

The Black Box FOSM-001M-SCLC is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for network device connections. It features a zip cord construction with two SC male connectors on the first end and two LC male connectors on the second end. The cable has a core/cladding diameter of 9/125 µm and a length of 3.28 ft. It is suited for linking compatible transceivers or patch panels in single-mode infrastructure.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a passive fiber optic cable, this product generates no heat and operates silently without any power draw. The glass core and cladding transmit light signals without electrical resistance, eliminating thermal output and acoustic noise entirely. No active components or external power supply are required for normal operation. The RoHS-compliant materials meet environmental standards.

Behaviour Under Sustained Load

Signal integrity is maintained over the full 3.28 ft length during continuous data transmission because single-mode fiber suffers negligible attenuation at this distance. Insertion loss remains stable regardless of duty cycle, so sustained throughput matches burst performance. The ceramic ferrules on the SC and LC connectors resist wear from repeated mating cycles. The yellow jacket identifies the single-mode rating for easy verification.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the SC and LC ends to my patch panel and transceiver without mixing the fibres?

The zip-cord jacket keeps the two fibres side by side; match the yellow jacket to the single-mode ports and insert the SC male connectors into the patch panel first, then the LC male connectors into the transceiver, pushing until each latch clicks.

What cleaning or replacement will this cable need over time?

Inspect the SC and LC ferrule end-faces before every reconnect; clean with a single-mode fibre cleaner if contaminated, and replace the patch cord if the 9/125 µm core shows scratches or insertion loss rises.

What distance limit applies when I run this 3.28 ft patch cord in a single-mode link?

The cord itself is only 3.28 ft long, so its own attenuation is negligible; the overall link reach is governed by the transceiver specifications and the total channel loss budget, not by this patch cord.
