Singlemode duplex patch cable

This 3 m yellow patch cable uses OS2 singlemode fiber with a 9/125 µm core and G.657.A1 bend-insensitive glass from Corning. It carries a duplex SC connection with one UPC end and one APC end for lower return loss. The OFNR-rated jacket suits indoor riser runs in data centres, telecom rooms or desk-side links.

UPC-to-APC connector mix

One end is polished UPC for standard equipment ports while the other is angled APC to cut reflected light in sensitive singlemode links. This fixed pairing means the cable only fits links that require exactly that connector combination. Installers needing UPC-UPC or APC-APC must choose a different assembly.

Pre-terminated for quick deployment

The cable arrives factory polished and tested with a report included, so no field termination or fusion splicing is required. Its 2.0 mm duplex zipcord construction keeps pathways tidy in patch panels or cable trays. Builds needing longer reach, different connector types or outdoor-rated jackets will need separate products.

Questions about this item

What does the 9/125 µm single-mode specification mean for real-world network distance?

The 9/125 µm OS2 single-mode fiber supports high-speed 40G Ethernet links over long distances with low signal loss, suitable for data centre and campus interconnects.

How do the UPC and APC connector polishes affect the return loss on this duplex patch cable?

The UPC connector provides a flat ultra-physical-contact finish for low return loss, while the APC end uses an 8-degree angle to further reduce back-reflection for sensitive single-mode links.

What is the minimum bend radius allowed by the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber in a tight cabinet?

The G.657.A1 bend-insensitive design reduces attenuation when the 2.0 mm duplex cable is routed around tight corners in patch panels or wall boxes.
