OS2 SC/APC – SC/APC Single-Mode Duplex Fiber Jumper Cable — 3.0mm Green Jacket Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable Our 3 mm OS2 SC/APC single-mode duplex fiber jumper is engineered for ultra-low-loss, long-distance optical networking. Featuring a 9/125 µm single-mode fiber core and precision angled physical contact (APC) connectors, this green-jacketed cable provides exceptional signal integrity across long-haul telecommunications and high-speed backbone networks. Key Features OS2 Single-Mode Fiber — Optimized for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths used in long-haul optical transmission. Duplex SC/APC Connectors — 8° angled physical contact polish greatly reduces back-reflection (≥ 65 dB return loss) and minimizes insertion loss (≤ 0.3 dB). Reduced Back-Reflection — Ideal for sensitive applications such as high-speed digital communications and analog video transmission. Enhanced Signal Quality — APC polish mitigates reflected signals for more stable, high-bandwidth optical transmission. 3 mm PVC Jacket — Durable outer sheath designed for structured cable routing and cable management. Factory Tested — 100% inspection for attenuation, end-face quality, and tensile strength. Wide Temperature Range — Rated for –20 °C to 70 °C indoor and outdoor environments. RoHS Compliant — Environmentally friendly materials. Performance Specifications Parameter Specification Core / Cladding Diameter 9 µm / 125 µm Max Attenuation (1310 nm) ≤ 0.40 dB/km Max Attenuation (1550 nm) ≤ 0.30 dB/km Minimum Return Loss ≥ 65 dB (APC) Operating Bandwidth Up to 10 Gbps and beyond Maximum Link Length 10 km (1310 nm) • 40 km (1550 nm) Common Applications Long-distance telecommunications Data center interconnects Enterprise backbone networks CATV and metro-access networks Campus and building riser installations Quick Note Unlike multimode fiber (OM1–OM4), which is designed for short-reach campus networks (typically up to 550 m), OS2 single-mode fiber supports extremely long transmission distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for carrier-grade networks and high-capacity data center backbones.
