OS2 LC/APC – SC/APC Single-Mode Duplex Fiber Jumper Cable — 3.0mm Green Jacket Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable Our 3 mm OS2 LC/APC to SC/APC single-mode duplex fiber jumper is engineered for ultra-low-loss, long-haul optical networking. Featuring a precision 9/125 µm single-mode fiber core and angled physical contact APC connectors, this green-jacketed cable delivers exceptional signal integrity across long-distance telecommunications and high-bandwidth backbone networks. Key Features OS2 Single-Mode Fiber — Optimized for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths used in long-distance optical transmission. Duplex LC/APC and SC/APC Connectors — 8° angled physical contact polish significantly reduces back-reflections (≥ 65 dB return loss) and insertion loss (≤ 0.3 dB). Reduced Back-Reflection — APC connectors dramatically reduce optical return loss in high-speed digital and analog transmission systems. Enhanced Signal Quality — APC polish minimizes signal degradation caused by reflected signals. 3 mm PVC Jacket — Durable outer sheath designed for structured cabling and easy cable management. Factory-Tested — 100% inspection for attenuation, connector end-face quality, and tensile strength. Wide Temperature Range — Rated for –20 °C to 70 °C for reliable indoor and outdoor use. RoHS Compliant — Environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing. Performance Specifications Parameter Specification Core / Cladding Diameter 9 µm / 125 µm Maximum Attenuation (1310 nm) ≤ 0.40 dB/km Maximum 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) Typical 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 shorter-distance campus networks (typically up to 550 m), OS2 single-mode fiber supports extremely long transmission distances with minimal signal loss. This makes it the preferred choice for carrier networks, long-haul infrastructure, and high-capacity data center backbone links.
