Hubbell DFPCSTSCS20SM Fiber Patch Cords Plenum Duplex ST to SC Singlemode OS2 20 Meters

Overview

The Hubbell DFPCSTSCS20SM is a 20-meter, duplex, singlemode OS2 fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in plenum-rated environments. This cable utilizes ST connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, facilitating connections between network devices such as fiber switches, media converters, and network interface cards. Its plenum jacket rating ensures compliance with building codes for use in air-handling spaces, critical for security and surveillance installations where cable pathways are often shared.

Compatibility

This patch cord is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard ST and SC fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with singlemode OS2 fiber optic transceivers and network infrastructure components requiring a 20-meter link. Specific applications include connecting IP cameras to network switches in building corridors, linking servers in data centers, or extending network reach in commercial office spaces where plenum-rated cabling is mandated.

Installation Notes

When installing the DFPCSTSCS20SM, avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable's minimum bend radius (typically 5cm for OS2 singlemode) to prevent signal loss or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal optical performance. The ST and SC connectors are keyed for correct orientation. The plenum jacket offers fire resistance but is not rated for direct burial or wet environments.
