Optički patch kabel ProXtend LC-SC UPC OS2 Duplex 12 m

ProXtend LC‑SC UPC OS2 duplex 12 m is a single‑mode fiber patch cable designed for low‑loss optical connections in telecommunications and data center environments. This 12 metre duplex cable features an LC connector on one end and an SC UPC connector on the other, supporting long‑distance signal transmission and reliable linking between patch panels, transceivers and fiber equipment. The OS2 single‑mode fibre construction provides low attenuation and stable performance for standard single‑mode networks and long‑haul links.

Advantages

The cable combines an LC connector for compact port density with an SC UPC connector for robust snap‑in operation, enabling flexible interconnection between different equipment types. Its OS2 fibre type yields low insertion loss and low return loss, which helps maintain signal integrity over extended distances. The duplex configuration supports bidirectional communication across two fibres and the 12 m length offers convenient reach for rack‑to‑rack or room‑to‑room connections while keeping installations tidy.

Suitable for

• Interconnection of patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Linking optical transceivers and switches with mixed connector types
• Data center trunking and telecom backbone connections
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring single‑mode links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single‑mode OS2
• Connector configuration: LC duplex to SC UPC duplex
• Polish type: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) on SC end
• Cable length: 12 m
• Duplex: 2 fibres (transmit and receive)
• Typical application: long‑distance single‑mode optical links

How to use

Inspect connectors and clean endfaces before installation to reduce contamination and signal loss. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC UPC connector into the corresponding SC port, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks or pressure that could increase attenuation; follow standard minimum bend radius guidelines for single‑mode cables. For testing, verify continuity and measure insertion loss with appropriate fiber test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable using protective caps when not connected, avoid exceeding the specified bend radius, and use dust covers on unused ports. For optimal long‑term performance, perform periodic cleaning of connector endfaces and re‑test links after major changes in the network or physical handling.
