Hubbell HDPCMUMUS20 Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell HDPCMUMUS20 is a 20-meter, single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. Featuring MU connectors on both ends, this cord is ideal for connecting network equipment such as transceivers, patch panels, and switches in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networks. The OS2 single-mode fiber supports higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for high-speed data applications. The HDPCMUMUS20 model specifically uses a plenum-rated jacket, essential for installations within air-handling spaces where fire safety codes mandate specific cable jacket materials.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network device or patch panel utilizing standard MU fiber optic connectors. It is designed for use with OS2 single-mode fiber optic transceivers and equipment requiring duplex connectivity. The plenum rating ensures compliance for installation in plenum spaces, common in commercial buildings and data centers, alongside other networking infrastructure components.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal loss and potential damage. The MU connectors provide a secure push-pull latching mechanism. The plenum jacket requires careful handling to avoid damage, but offers superior fire resistance and low smoke emission characteristics compared to non-plenum rated cables. Bend radius should be maintained according to industry standards to prevent signal degradation.
