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.

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.
