SC/UPC to SC/UPC Single Mode Duplex Patch Cord

Overview: The SC to SC Single Mode Duplex Patch Cord is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed for reliable, long-distance data transmission in demanding B2B environments. Featuring low-loss SC/UPC connectors and G.652.D single-mode fiber, this cable is optimized for telecommunication networks, data centers, and FTTX infrastructure. As a direct manufacturer, we offer these durable duplex patch cords at factory prices for wholesale and OEM orders, ensuring maximum performance and cost-efficiency.

Benefits & Applications

Engineered for stability and high bandwidth, the primary benefit of this SC/UPC Duplex Patch Cord is its exceptionally low insertion loss (IL) and high return loss (RL), ensuring signal integrity. Its duplex configuration enables simultaneous, bi-directional communication, essential for connecting network equipment like switches and servers. Common applications include data center cross-connects, telecom backbone links, CATV networks, and enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure where performance is critical.

Key Technical Benefits

– Connector Grade: Precision SC/UPC connectors with ceramic ferrules ensure stable and repeatable low-loss connections.
– Fiber Standard: Utilizes G.652.D, G.657.A1, or G.657.A2 single-mode fiber for optimal long-haul performance and bend-insensitivity.
– Duplex Construction: Features a zip-cord duplex design for easy management of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) channels.
– Jacket Options: Available with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OFNP (Plenum), or standard PVC jackets to meet any building code or safety requirement.
– High Durability: Tested for over 1000 mating cycles, guaranteeing a long operational life in high-traffic environments.
– Quality Assurance: 100% factory tested for IL, RL, and end-face geometry to comply with Telcordia GR-326-CORE standards.

FAQ

1. What is an SC/UPC Single Mode Duplex Patch Cord used for?

An SC/UPC Single Mode Duplex Patch Cord is primarily used to connect high-speed networking equipment, such as switches, servers, and optical transceivers, in telecommunication networks and data centers for bi-directional data transfer over long distances.

2. Why is the jacket of this single mode duplex cable yellow?

The yellow jacket color is an industry standard used to quickly identify the cable as a single-mode fiber optic patch cord, distinguishing it from multimode cables which are typically orange, aqua, or violet.

3. What does UPC mean on an SC fiber optic patch cord?

UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact. It refers to a high-grade polish on the fiber connector’s end-face that minimizes back reflection and ensures a very low insertion loss, making the SC fiber optic patch cord ideal for high-performance networks.

4. Can I order this SC to SC patch cord in custom lengths for a bulk project?

Yes, as a direct manufacturer, we specialize in fulfilling bulk orders. You can order the SC to SC patch cord in any custom length required for your specific network installation, with wholesale pricing advantages.

5. What is the typical insertion loss for your SC/UPC single mode jumper?

Our SC/UPC single mode jumper is manufactured to stringent standards, guaranteeing a typical insertion loss of less than or equal to 0.3dB, which ensures minimal signal degradation across the connection.

6. Is the SC duplex patch cord suitable for data center connections?

Absolutely. The SC duplex patch cord is an excellent choice for data center connections, providing a reliable and high-bandwidth link between servers, storage area networks (SANs), and network switches.

7. What is the advantage of a duplex fiber optic cable over a simplex one?

The main advantage of a duplex fiber optic cable is its ability to support full-duplex communication, meaning it can transmit and receive data simultaneously over two separate fibers, which is a requirement for most network hardware.

8. Does your factory test every SC to SC telecom patch lead before shipping?

Yes, every SC to SC telecom patch lead undergoes rigorous 100% factory testing for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry to ensure it meets or exceeds industry performance standards before it is shipped.

9. What is the difference between G.652.D and G.657.A1 fiber in this patch cord?

G.652.D is a standard single-mode fiber for long-haul applications. G.657.A1 is a bend-insensitive version, allowing for a tighter bend radius with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for high-density installations common with this patch cord.

10. How can I get a wholesale price for the SC/UPC single mode patch cord?

To get a wholesale price for the SC/UPC single mode patch cord, please contact our sales team directly through our website. We provide competitive factory pricing for bulk and B2B orders.

11. Is an LSZH jacket a standard option for this fiber optic jumper?

Yes, an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket is a common and highly recommended option for this fiber optic jumper, especially for indoor installations in data centers and confined spaces where fire safety is a priority.

12. What is the return loss specification for the UPC polish on this SC cord?

The return loss specification for the UPC polish on this SC cord is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 50dB (RL ≥50dB). This high value ensures minimal signal reflection, protecting network transmitters from damage.

13. As a distributor, can I request OEM branding on a bulk order of these patch cords?

Certainly. We offer full OEM services for distributors and large-scale buyers. You can request custom branding, packaging, and labeling on a bulk order of these SC to SC duplex patch cords to fit your business needs.

14. What is the operational temperature range for this SC-SC single mode cable?

This SC-SC single mode cable is designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +75°C, making it suitable for deployment in various indoor and protected outdoor environments.

15. How does the SC connector on this duplex patch cord compare to an LC connector?

The SC connector on this duplex patch cord has a larger 2.5mm ferrule and a push-pull mating mechanism. While larger than the LC connector (1.25mm ferrule), it is known for its ruggedness and is widely used in telecom and CATV applications.
