Fiber Optic Cable SC/UPC-SC/UPC 3M Fiber Optic Cable SC/UPC-SC/UPC 3M is a professional-grade optical cable designed for reliable, low-loss transmission in modern fiber optic communication networks. With pre-terminated SC/UPC connectors on both ends, this jumper provides a secure and stable link between fiber devices, patch panels, and distribution units. Whether used in a FTTH setup, enterprise backbone, telecommunication infrastructure, or testing lab, this 2-meter cable ensures stable and high-quality signal transmission for single mode networks. Engineered for both indoor short-distance deployments and structured cabling environments, this patch cord offers a perfect balance between performance, safety, and installation flexibility. What is SC/UPC to SC/UPC? This SC/UPC-SC/UPC Patch Cord 3 meter uses: SC (Subscriber Connector): Engineers widely adopt the square-shaped, push-pull connector across telecom and data applications for its reliability and ease of use. UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish: Provides superior surface finish with minimal back reflection (return loss ≥50 dB), making it ideal for high-bandwidth and low-interference requirements. Both ends of the cable feature factory-installed SC/UPC connectors, color-coded blue to indicate UPC polish type. Features and Benefits Single mode Performance – G.657A1/G.652D The SC/UPC-SC/UPC Patch Cord 2 meter is made using single mode optical fiber—typically G.657A1 or G.652D—which allows for long-distance and high-bandwidth transmission with low attenuation. This ensures seamless connectivity for applications that demand stability and minimal signal loss. Low Insertion and High Return Loss Insertion Loss: ≤ 0.3 dB Return Loss: ≥ 50 dBEach connector is pre-polished and factory tested, providing excellent optical performance and ensuring minimal signal degradation even across multiple connections. LSZH Jacket – Fire-Safe and Durable The cable is sheathed in Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which limits the release of smoke and toxic gases in the event of a fire. This is crucial in indoor spaces such as data centers, office buildings, homes, and server rooms. 2-Meter Length for Flexible Routing The 2-meter length is ideal for device-to-patch panel or rack-to-rack connections where a little extra slack helps maintain better cable management without unnecessary tangles or bends. Plug-and-Play Simplicity As a pre-terminated jumper, this patch cord requires no field termination or polishing. Simply plug it in and enjoy instant optical connectivity with guaranteed performance. Common Applications of SC/UPC-SC/UPC Patch Cord 3 meter The SC/UPC to SC/UPC 3-meter patch cord is suitable for: FTTH (Fiber to the home ) installations – Connecting ONT devices to wall outlets Data centers – Rack-to-rack or panel-to-equipment connections Telecommunication networks – Optical backbone or ODF interconnection Enterprise LAN and WAN – Structured cabling for fast data transmission Test and measurement – Ideal for fiber testing setups (OTDR, light sources) CATV and IPTV distribution – High-definition signal transmission over fiber Technical Specifications for SC/UPC-SC/UPC Patch Cord 3 meter Parameter Details Connector Type SC/UPC to SC/UPC Fiber Type Singlemode (G.657A1 / G.652D) Cable Length 3 meters Outer Jacket LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Jacket Color Yellow (standard for singlemode) Cable Diameter 2.0mm or 3.0mm Insertion Loss ≤ 0.3 dB Return Loss ≥ 50 dB Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Storage Temperature -45°C to 85°C Standards Compliance RoHS, TIA/EIA, IEC 61754, GR-326 Installation Guidelines Clean each connector before installation using a fiber cleaning kit to ensure optimal signal quality. Avoid sharp bends—maintain the minimum bend radius (usually ≥30 mm for 3mm cable) to prevent signal attenuation. Use cable organizers or clips to route fibers neatly and avoid physical strain.
