Description

Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS214V1976 20 Meter OS2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

This 20-meter Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS214V1976 is a TAA-compliant, OS2 singlemode duplex fiber patch cable. It's designed to bridge network equipment with different connector types, specifically LC/UPC on one end and SC/APC on the other. This cable is critical for extending network reach in environments requiring high bandwidth and low signal loss, such as connecting network switches to fiber optic transceivers or extending connections between network closets and active equipment racks.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network devices or transceivers requiring OS2 singlemode fiber. The LC/UPC connector mates with standard LC ports found on SFP, SFP+, QSFP, and other small form-factor transceivers. The SC/APC connector is suitable for equipment with SC ports, often found on network interface cards (NICs), media converters, and some larger network switches. Its duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive signals, essential for most fiber optic communication protocols.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure the SC/APC connector's angled polish is properly seated to minimize back reflection. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius (typically 30mm for OS2 fiber) to prevent signal degradation or damage. Clean both LC/UPC and SC/APC connector end-faces before insertion using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools to ensure optimal signal transmission and prevent contamination of ports.
