OS2 Single Mode 9/125 LC SC Fibre Optic Network Cable 3m
A 3m duplex OS2 fibre patch lead with LC connectors at one end and SC at the other. Duplex means two fibres, one to send and one to receive, so a single lead connects a pair of ports.
OS2 is 9/125 single mode fibre, used where distance matters: between buildings, across a campus and on telecoms links. With suitable single mode transceivers it runs for kilometres rather than hundreds of metres.
LC plugs are small push-and-latch connectors used on SFP and SFP+ transceivers, modern switches and high density patch panels, while SC plugs are square push-pull connectors found on patch panels, media converters and many older switches. A lead like this joins LC equipment to SC equipment without an adapter.
At 3m it links a patch panel to a switch or server in the same or the next rack. Avoid bending it tighter than 40mm, as sharp bends weaken the signal and can damage the fibre. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket suits offices, data centres and public buildings.
