Description:

Product Overview – Our 3 mm OS2 LC/APC to SC Single‑Mode Duplex Fiber Jumper is engineered for ultra‑low‑loss, long‑haul applications. Featuring a 9 / 125 µm single‑mode core and angled physical contact (APC) polish, this green-jacketed duplex cable delivers exceptional signal integrity over extended distances.

Key Features
  • OS2 Single‑Mode Fiber: Optimized for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths
  • Duplex SC/APC Connectors: Angled Physical Contact (APC) ferrules with an 8° angle polish significantly reduce back-reflections (≥ 65 dB return loss) and minimize insertion loss (≤ 0.3 dB)
  • Reduced Back-Reflection: APC connectors greatly reduce optical return loss, improving performance in sensitive applications such as high-speed digital communications and analog video transmission
  • Enhanced Signal Quality: APC polish mitigates signal degradation caused by reflected signals, enabling more accurate signal transmission and higher bandwidth
  • 3 mm PVC Jacket: Durable, flexible outer sheath for easy handling and cable management
  • Factory‑Tested: 100 % inspection for attenuation, end‑face quality, and tensile strength
  • Temperature Range: – 20 °C to + 70 °C for reliable indoor and outdoor performance
  • RoHS Compliant: Environmentally friendly materials

Typical Applications
  • Long‑distance telecommunications
  • Data center interconnects
  • Enterprise backbone networks
  • CATV and metro‑access networks
  • Campus and building riser installations
Why Choose Our Cable?
  • Superior Distance & Bandwidth: Single‑mode design eliminates modal dispersion, enabling gigabit‑class throughput over kilometers.
  • Precision‑Engineered SC/APC Interfaces: Ensures consistent performance and minimal reflection, ideal for high-sensitivity networks.
  • Built in the USA: Rigorously manufactured and tested under American quality standards.

Note: Unlike multimode cables (OM1–OM4), which are intended for short‑reach (up to 550 m) campus environments, single‑mode OS2 cables support much longer runs with minimal signal loss, making them ideal for carrier and data‑center backbone links.
