About this Product
The 18 M SC-LC OS1/OS2 Duplex Patch Lead is a high-performance single-mode fibre optic cable engineered for reliable, long-distance optical connections in modern network infrastructures. This patch lead features SC (Subscriber Connector) on one end and LC (Lucent Connector) on the other, with a duplex configuration that supports bidirectional communication. Built with OS1/OS2 single-mode fibre, it delivers excellent signal integrity with low attenuation and high return loss across extended distances — ideal for data centres, telecommunications, enterprise networks, FTTH (Fibre to the Home), and campus backbone links. The cable’s duplex design and robust jacket ensure easy installation and long-term durability in structured cabling systems. Precision polished connectors and industry-standard construction make this patch lead compatible with a wide range of networking equipment including switches, routers, optical transceivers, and patch panels.
