Hubbell DFPCSTSCS15SM Fiber Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell DFPCSTSCS15SM is a 15-meter, duplex, singlemode OS2 fiber optic patch cord. It features ST connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, terminated with a plenum-rated jacket. This cable is designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems, particularly where plenum-rated pathways are required for fire safety compliance in commercial buildings. Its 15-meter length provides ample reach for connecting network devices across rooms or between equipment racks.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment, fiber optic transceivers, and patch panels that utilize ST (for the source end) and SC (for the destination end) fiber optic connectors. The OS2 singlemode fiber specification ensures compatibility with transceivers operating at wavelengths up to 1550nm, suitable for long-haul and high-bandwidth data transmission applications. The plenum jacket rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, including above drop ceilings and under raised floors, in compliance with building codes.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius specified for OS2 fiber to prevent signal loss or cable damage. The plenum jacket offers superior fire resistance but may be less flexible than non-plenum alternatives; plan routing accordingly to avoid kinking.
