20m LC to SC OS2 Duplex Cable

This twenty-metre single-mode duplex cable carries data between LC and SC connectors with UPC polish. It is built for long-distance fibre links in enterprise, campus or carrier networks where low insertion loss matters.

Compatibility check before ordering

Verify that both ends of your link use LC and SC ports respectively and that the equipment supports OS2 single-mode fibre. Confirm the required polish type is UPC and that the twenty-metre reach fits your patch-panel or cabinet layout.

Suits installers needing LC-to-SC single-mode runs

Network engineers extending backbone links or connecting transceivers with mismatched interfaces will find the length and connector mix convenient. Buyers who need multimode fibre, APC polish or a different connector combination should look at other cable types.

Questions about this item

Does the cable ship with both LC and SC connectors already terminated, or do I need to buy connectors separately?

The cable is a finished 20 metre duplex assembly with LC/UPC plugs on one end and SC/UPC plugs on the other; no additional connectors are required.

Should I choose OS2 single-mode or a multi-mode variant for a 20 metre campus link?

OS2 single-mode is designed for long-haul and campus runs, so it is the correct choice for a 20 metre link that may later be extended.

What does the 20 metre length mean for signal loss in a live installation?

At 20 metres the insertion loss of the LC/UPC and SC/UPC polished ends stays well within OS2 limits, so the link budget is barely affected.
