3 Meter 2 Fiber Opti-Core Optic Patch Cord Pigtail OS1/OS2 SC Duplex F923RSNSNSNM003

Product Information

Specification

About:

This is a 3-meter long duplex fiber optic patch cord that features two single-mode fibers. The OS1/OS2 rating indicates that the cord is designed for both standard indoor (OS1) and long-distance outdoor (OS2) applications, capable of supporting telecommunications and high-speed data services. The inclusion of SC duplex connectors means it has a pair of connectors at each end for bidirectional data transmission.

Also Known As:

• 3M SC Duplex Single-Mode Patch Cable
• Fiber Optic Jumper SC to SC
• Single-Mode Duplex SC Patch Lead
• OS1/OS2 SC Duplex Fiber Cable

Common Applications:

• Linking fiber optic communication devices in data centers, such as switches, servers, and routers.
• Connecting equipment in telecommunication networks, including fiber distribution frames and network interface devices.
• Providing infrastructure for high-speed data services in enterprise networks.
• Extending network connections in campus environments, like between buildings or floors.
• Supporting deployments in Fiber-to-the-X (FTTx) systems, such as Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH), by connecting distribution points to subscriber endpoints.

Standards:

• OS1/OS2: Standards defining the cable's performance criteria for indoor (OS1) and outdoor (OS2) single-mode optical fiber deployments.

• IEC 60793-2-50: International standard for the classification of optical fiber types.

• TIA/EIA-568: A set of telecommunications standards from the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) that provide guidelines for fiber optic cabling systems.

• ITU-T G.652: ITU standard that defines the transmission characteristics of single-mode optical fibers.

Construction:

• Core: The central light-carrying part of the fiber, typically made from glass, optimized for single-mode transmission.

• Cladding: The optical material surrounding the core that reflects light back into the core, enabling efficient signal propagation.

• Jacket: The protective sheath that encases the fiber, providing a defense against physical and environmental damage.

• Connectors: SC (Subscriber Connector or Standard Connector) is a push-pull connector known for its ease of use and secure connection. Duplex refers to the two-fiber configuration of the patch cord, suitable for bidirectional communication.

Features:

• Low Insertion Loss: Ensuring minimal signal loss when coupling the patch cord to another cable or device.

• High Return Loss: Minimizing the signal reflection to prevent transmission degradation.

• Precision Polished Connectors: Typically with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) or APC (Angled Physical Contact) finishes to ensure optimal signal transmission and low back reflection.

• Durability: Built to withstand the rigors of installation and long-term use in various environments.

• Compliance: Meets or exceeds industry standards to ensure safety, compatibility, and reliability.
