Hubbell DFPCCSLCS2SM CS-LC OM2 Multimode Duplex Plenum Fiber Patch Cord
Overview
The Hubbell DFPCCSLCS2SM is a 2-meter, duplex multimode fiber optic patch cord terminated with CS connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other, built with an OM2 50/125µm fiber core and rated for plenum (CMP) environments. If you are integrating newer high-density CS-port transceivers or switches into an existing LC-terminated fiber infrastructure, this cord bridges that connector gap without requiring a bulky adapter in the signal path. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification on the rack — useful in busy MDF or IDF cable runs where color-coding by fiber type speeds up troubleshooting.
Compatibility and Application
The CS connector — a compact, high-density format increasingly specified in data center and structured cabling applications — mates with SFP ports and patch panels designed for the CS interface. The LC end connects to the vast installed base of LC-terminated equipment: switches, media converters, NVRs, and fiber-capable IP devices. OM2 multimode fiber supports data rates up to 1 Gbps over 550 meters and 10 Gbps over shorter runs (typically up to 82 meters), making this cord appropriate for intra-rack and short inter-rack connections rather than long backbone runs. For longer distances or 10G+ applications across larger footprints, OM3 or OM4 multimode — or single-mode — would be the appropriate choice. Browse the full fiber optic cable and assembly category to compare options, or explore the broader Hubbell structured cabling line for compatible panels and housings.
Installation Notes
The plenum (CMP) jacket rating on the DFPCCSLCS2SM makes it suitable for installation in air-handling plenums and raised-floor environments where building codes require low-smoke, low-flame-spread cable. If your run is in a standard conduit or riser environment, a riser-rated (CMR) cord is also permissible and typically less expensive — only specify plenum where the pathway actually demands it. The duplex construction means both transmit and receive fibers are run in a single, bonded jacket, keeping cable management cleaner than two discrete simplex cords. At 2 meters, this cord is sized for patch panel to switch connections within a single rack or between adjacent racks. For cross-room or inter-closet fiber jumpers, evaluate longer lengths in the fiber patch cord selection. Pair with compatible fiber transceivers and DACs to complete the link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What connector types does the DFPCCSLCS2SM use?
A: It is terminated with a CS connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, in a duplex configuration — suitable for bridging CS-port equipment to LC-terminated infrastructure.
Q: Is this patch cord rated for plenum installations?
A: Yes. The DFPCCSLCS2SM carries a plenum (CMP) jacket rating, making it compliant for use in air-handling ceiling spaces and raised-floor plenums per NEC requirements.
Q: What fiber type does this cord use?
A: OM2 multimode, 50/125µm. It supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 550 meters and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to approximately 82 meters under IEEE standards.
Q: Why is the jacket yellow?
A: Yellow is the standard color designation for single-mode fiber under TIA-598 — however, some manufacturers also use yellow for specific multimode variants. Always verify the fiber type label on the cord itself rather than relying solely on jacket color for identification.
Q: Can I use this cord for long-distance backbone runs?
A: No. At OM2 grade, this cord is best suited for short intra- or inter-rack connections. For longer distances or higher bandwidth applications, OM3, OM4, or single-mode fiber would be more appropriate.
