Fiber-patchkabel ProXtend FO-LCSCOS2D-005 LC-SC UPC OS2 duplex singlemode 5 m

ProXtend FO-LCSCOS2D-005 is a 5 m duplex singlemode (OS2) fiber patch cable terminated with LC connector on one end and SC UPC connector on the other. It is designed for high-precision fiber links in telecom, data centre and professional networking environments where low insertion loss and reliable long-distance optical transmission are required. The duplex construction supports bi-directional signal paths while the OS2 singlemode fibre type is suited to long‑reach connections and systems that demand controlled attenuation and return loss characteristics.

Advantages

The LC‑SC UPC OS2 duplex cable offers low attenuation and stable optical performance for long-distance links. Its LC and SC UPC terminations provide compatibility with a wide range of transceivers, patch panels and equipment. Duplex pairing simplifies bidirectional connections and helps maintain correct channel polarity. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-panel cabling without excess slack in typical data centre and telecom installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between racks and fibre distribution panels
• Telecom long‑reach singlemode links and backbone connections
• Interconnection of optical transceivers, media converters and switches
• Laboratory testing and verification of LC to SC UPC terminated links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Singlemode OS2, duplex
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC UPC (other end)
• Length: 5 metres
• Polarity: Duplex pair for bi‑directional channels
• Cable jacket: Standard fibre optic jacket suitable for indoor/network use

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and ensure they are clean before insertion to avoid increased insertion loss or damage. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC UPC connector into the corresponding SC port, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable through designated cable management pathways and avoid tight bends that can exceed the fibre minimum bend radius. For permanent installations, secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors and maintain stable optical performance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fibre cleaning tools for LC and SC connectors before each deployment. Store spare cables in protective reels or bags to prevent contamination and mechanical damage. When testing links, use singlemode test equipment compatible with OS2 specifications and document insertion loss and return loss values to verify performance.
