(Part No. – 02SCUSCUM4J52.0DXA5.0M) Patchcord SC/UPC – SC/UPC 50/125 Multimode OM4 Duplex Zip 2.0mm OFNR Aqua, 5M – Multimode Fiber Cables – High-Bandwidth – Shaxon

Patchcord SC/UPC – SC/UPC 50/125 Multimode OM4 Duplex Zip 2.0mm OFNR Aqua

Shaxon’s  SC/UPC – SC/UPC 50/125 OM4 patch cords feature a rugged aqua 2.0.mm duplex zip cord jacket and high quality SC connectors. Polarity is clearly marked with yellow polarity labels. SC connectors are shipped clipped but can be removed in the field if desired.

The SC is a snap-in connector which also features a 2.5mm ferrule much like the ST connector and is known for its excellent performance. The connector is simple, rugged, and low cost. Its simple push on/pull off operations makes it a popular choice.

OM4 has a suggested jacket color of aqua. It is a further improvement to OM3. It too uses a 50?m core, but it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up 550 meters and it supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 150 meters. Laser optimized multi-mode fiber (LOMMF) is designed for use with 850 nm VCSELs. When weighing your options between on-premises and access network fiber replacement or new installation, we highly recommend replacing legacy OS1 with a new bend-insensitive OS2 (ITU-T G.657A1) SMF cabling system to support longer reach with enhanced link performance.

For other ultra-long-distance transmissions that employ exclusively C-band and L-band with optical amplifiers, refer to the ITU-T recommendations for the most appropriate SMF types.

Multi-mode fiber is typically cost effective for inside buildings or corporate campuses while single-mode is better suited for longer distance runs. Single-mode fiber can transmit over greater distances but typically requires more expensive equipment. Multi-mode is cost effective for installations where the lengths do not exceed a few hundred meters.
