Hubbell DFHRCLCSCAS20SM Fiber Optic Patch Cord Riser Rated Singlemode Duplex LC-SCA OS2 20 Meters Aqua

Overview

The Hubbell DFHRCLCSCAS20SM is a 20-meter, riser-rated, OS2 singlemode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in commercial and enterprise network backbones. Featuring LC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, this aqua-jacketed cable ensures proper termination for connecting network equipment such as switches, routers, and transceivers. Its OS2 singlemode fiber construction supports high bandwidth and long-distance data transfer, making it suitable for backbone applications where signal integrity is critical. The riser rating allows for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings, simplifying installation and ensuring code compliance.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC (small form factor) and SC (standard form factor) fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with singlemode OS2 fiber optic transceivers, network switches, media converters, and patch panels that utilize these connector types. Ensure your equipment ports match the LC and SC connector specifications for a secure and functional connection.

Installation Notes

When installing the Hubbell DFHRCLCSCAS20SM, maintain a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) for OS2 fiber to prevent signal loss or damage. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent contamination, which can degrade performance. The riser rating (often CMP or similar, verify specific cable jacket rating if critical) permits installation in vertical pathways within commercial buildings, but always consult local building codes and firestop requirements for specific installation methods.
