SC SM PATCH CORD
SC SM PATCH CORD
C-LIGHT SC SM Patch Cord is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable using a square SC (Subscriber Connector) with a push-pull latching mechanism. It supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelength transmission, featuring low insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and high return loss (UPC ≥50 dB, APC ≥60 dB). Designed for stable, high-density connections in fiber distribution frames and telecom equipment, it offers options for PVC, LSZH, or armored jackets. Ideal for long-distance communication, data centers, CATV systems, and testing environments, its reliability and compliance with IEC 61754-4 standards make it a preferred choice for foundational optical network deployments.

C-LIGHT SC SM Patch Cord is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable featuring the widely used SC connector with a push-pull latching mechanism. It supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm optical transmission and provides low insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB with high return loss. Multiple SC/UPC and SC/APC configurations, fiber types, cable diameters, and jacket materials are available for telecom networks, data centers, CATV systems, and optical testing environments.

Key Features of SC SM Patch Cord

SC Push-Pull Connector

The SC connector uses a simple push-pull latching mechanism that allows convenient installation and removal while maintaining a secure optical connection.

Single-Mode Fiber

The patch cord is designed for single-mode fiber transmission and supports commonly used 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths in long-distance optical communication systems.

Low Optical Loss

With specified insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB, the patch cord helps minimize optical loss at the connection point and maintain stable link performance.

High Return Loss

Return loss reaches ≥50 dB for UPC configurations and ≥60 dB for APC configurations, helping reduce reflected optical power in single-mode fiber links.

UPC and APC Configurations

SC/UPC-SC/UPC, SC/APC-SC/UPC, and SC/APC-SC/APC configurations provide flexibility for different optical equipment and network connection requirements.

Multiple Cable Structures

0.9 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm cable diameters are available with PVC, OFNR, OFNP, LSZH, and selected armored construction options.

SC SM Patch Cord Configurations

SC/UPC-SC/UPC

This standard configuration uses UPC-polished SC connectors on both ends and supports single-core or dual-core cable designs for common single-mode fiber connections.

SC/APC-SC/UPC

The hybrid APC-to-UPC configuration provides a practical connection option when optical equipment or fiber distribution components use different connector polishing types.

SC/APC-SC/APC

APC connectors on both ends are suitable for single-mode applications requiring higher return loss and controlled optical reflections.

Single-Core and Dual-Core

C-LIGHT provides both single-core and dual-core cable configurations to support different simplex and duplex fiber connection requirements.

Fiber and Cable Options

Multiple Single-Mode Fiber Types

Available fiber options include G652D, G657A1, G657A2, G655, G657B3, and SMF28e for different transmission and installation requirements.

0.9mm Cable

The 0.9 mm construction provides a compact and flexible option for fiber distribution and equipment connections where limited cable space is available.

2.0mm and 3.0mm Cable

The larger 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm constructions provide additional mechanical protection and are suitable for more structured patching environments.

Jacket Material Selection

PVC, OFNR, OFNP, and LSZH jacket options are available, while armored configurations can provide additional mechanical protection for specific applications.

Applications

Telecom Networks

SC SM Patch Cords can connect optical transmission equipment, fiber distribution frames, and other components within single-mode telecom infrastructure.

Data Center Fiber Systems

The patch cord can be used for equipment connections and fiber distribution in data center and network equipment environments where SC interfaces are required.

CATV Networks

Single-mode SC patch cords provide reliable optical connections for CATV systems and other access networks using SC-compatible fiber equipment.

Testing and Measurement

The secure SC connector structure makes the patch cord suitable for optical testing, measurement, and laboratory environments requiring repeatable fiber connections.

How to Select the Right SC SM Patch Cord

Selection should be based on connector polishing type, fiber type, core configuration, cable diameter, jacket material, and installation environment. SC/UPC or SC/APC should match the connected equipment, while single-core or dual-core construction should be selected according to simplex or duplex requirements. The appropriate cable diameter and jacket material can then be selected according to routing conditions and mechanical protection needs.
