Singlemode Duplex BIF SC/SC 2 m

This 2 m singlemode duplex patch cable uses SC/UPC connectors on both ends for interconnect and cross-connect work in entrance facilities, telecom rooms and data centres. The yellow jacket identifies the OS2 singlemode glass inside, which is specified for 40G Ethernet and higher data rates.

Bend-insensitive G.657.A1 under sustained routing

Corning ultra-pure glass and the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive design keep attenuation low when the cable is routed around tight corners or managed in dense patch panels. The 9/125 µm core maintains consistent return loss over long runs, so sustained 40G throughput remains stable without the signal degradation that tight bends cause on standard singlemode fibre.

Check connector polish

Verify that your equipment uses SC connectors with UPC polish; angled APC ferrules will not mate correctly with these ends. Confirm that an OFNR-rated 2.0 mm jacket satisfies your local fire-code requirements for the intended pathway, and ensure the 2 m length reaches between your patch panel and active gear without excess slack.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.0 mm yellow jacket add noticeable heat or power draw when the cable runs all day in a 40G Ethernet link?

No — the passive singlemode fiber carries light, not electricity, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of data rate or duty cycle.

What connectors must the buyer already have on the switch and patch panel for this SC/SC duplex cable to plug in directly?

Both ends need SC ports with UPC polish; the cable terminates in SC connectors on each side, so the mating hardware must provide matching SC adapters.

Will the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber work reliably alongside older OS2 cables that lack bend-insensitive ratings?

Yes — G.657.A1 is fully compatible with standard OS2 9/125 µm singlemode fiber, so it can be mixed in the same link or patch field without performance penalties.
