2 m single-mode duplex patch cord

The Monoprice 138450 is a 2 metre yellow duplex cable with LC/UPC connectors on each end. It uses G657A1 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding. The OFNR-rated PVC jacket meets UL fire-safety requirements for in-wall and between-floor runs in commercial buildings. It is suited to enterprise networks, telecom rooms, server farms and FTTX deployments.

Fits standard LC patch panels and transceivers

The duplex LC/UPC terminations plug directly into compatible SFP, SFP+ or QSFP modules and patch panels without adapters. The 2 mm jacket routes easily through dense cable management while the ceramic ferrules maintain low insertion loss. OFNR rating frees installers from conduit in riser spaces, reducing pathway fill and labour time in data-centre and campus builds.

Replaces multi-mode jumpers for long-haul links

This cable replaces OM3 or OM4 multi-mode patch cords when link distances exceed multi-mode reach or when future 40G and 100G Ethernet headroom is required. The jump is worth it for runs up to 10 km at 1310 nm or 40 km at 1550 nm, supporting 1G through 100G Ethernet without signal regeneration. It is not for buyers who need multi-mode compatibility or distances beyond the stated single-mode reach.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum distance this single-mode cable can carry a 1310 nm signal?

The cable supports transport up to 10 km at 1310 nm, making it suitable for long-haul 1G to 100G Ethernet links.

How much heat or power does the cable generate during continuous operation?

As a passive fibre jumper it draws no power and produces no measurable heat, so thermal load is effectively zero.

What transceiver interfaces are required at each end for this duplex LC/UPC patch cord?

Both ends need LC/UPC single-mode transceivers or switch ports; the yellow jacket and ceramic ferrules identify the 9/125 µm OS2 specification.
