10/100BASE-T SFPLC APC to LC APC Duplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable
Singapore high-density designs should assess this item together with panel access, cable routing and the complete optical loss allowance. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LC APC interface on one end and a LC APC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a full product. The duplex zipcord structure keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one product for fast, error-free patching.

Where single-mode jumpers earn their place
Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and every wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in this terminated assembly is the corresponding class used in the outside plant; consequently, the completed jumper will not by itself become the weak point of the link loss budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and this connector interface pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.
Connector and polish choices in the single-mode plant
The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and may damage the ferrules; consequently, the patch side must correspond to the patch panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and this connector interface housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.
Length Options
Standard cable lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), with custom length obtainable beyond the list. Specifying the measured pathway length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off these optical interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Each completed assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. This optical cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result obtainable on ask for.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this arrangement by connector pair, fiber mode and length during the request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, marking or project packaging, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will review the build before manufacturing begins. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
