OS2 LC to SC Fiber Optic Patch Cord
The OS2 LC to SC Patch Cord is a high-performance single-mode fiber optic interconnection cable, engineered for long-distance, high-bandwidth optical communication networks. This simplex fiber optic patch cord connects two optical devices over a single fiber core for stable signal transmission in
FTTH access
Data center cabling
Telecom equipment rooms
Indoor building networks
The single-core construction uses less material and keeps the unit cost low, which makes it a practical choice for large-volume broadband rollout and PON splitting projects.
Products structure
Its nomenclature clearly defines three core attributes:
1. OS2 – Fiber Type (Transmission Medium)
● OS2 denotes Zero-Water-Peak Single-Mode Fiber, compliant with the ITU-T G.652.D standard.
●With a 9/125µm core/cladding diameter, it transmits light in a single propagation mode, delivering:
--Ultra-low attenuation: Typically ≤ 0.20 dB/km (at 1550nm) and ≤ 0.35 dB/km (at 1310nm).
--Minimal chromatic dispersion: Enabling transmission distances of 80 to 120+ kilometers without regeneration.
●It supports high-speed protocols from 10G Ethernet (10GBASE-LR/ER) up to 100G/400G coherent transmission systems.
● Primary Applications: Metro area networks (MANs), long-haul backbone networks, Data Center Interconnect (DCI), and FTTx distribution.
2. LC Connector (Connector Type A – Small Form-Factor)
●LC (Lucent Connector) is a small-form-factor (SFF) connector featuring a 1.25mm zirconia ceramic ferrule.
●Its push-pull latching mechanism enables quick insertion and removal while saving valuable panel space.
●Typical Mating: Commonly used with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable), SFP+, and QSFP transceivers in high-density switching environments.
3.SC Connector (Connector Type B – Standard Rectangular)
SC (Subscriber Connector / Standard Connector) is a push-pull rectangular connector with a larger 2.5mm ferrule.
Its robust, snap-in design offers high durability and reliable repeatability.
Typical Mating: Commonly found on GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) modules, older routers/switches, media converters, and optical distribution frames (ODFs).
This patch cord serves as a high-performance "bridge" that efficiently and reliably connects long-distance single-mode optical equipment with mismatched interfaces (LC on one end, SC on the other).
Key Performance Characteristics:
- Low Insertion Loss: Average ≤0.2dB (singlemode), maximum ≤0.3dB
- High Return Loss: ≥45dB (PC), ≥50dB (UPC), ≥60dB (APC)
- Durability: Withstands over 1,000 mating cycles with <0.2dB loss variation
- Wide Operating Temperature: -40°C to +75°C (storage: -40°C to +85°C)
- 100% Tested: Each patch cord is optically inspected and tested with individual labeling

Products Customization & OEM Capabilities
Connector type: SC / LC / FC / ST and others on request
Fiber mode: single mode or multimode
Cable diameter: 2.0 mm / 3.0 mm or custom
Length: custom per project
Jacket: PVC / LSZH / OFNP
Appearance color customization
Custom PE bag packaging
Private label and printed logo (OEM / ODM)
There is no minimum order quantity to begin, which makes trial orders and mixed-spec project orders straightforward.
Careful work standard production
Each of our production batches will undergo high- and low-temperature testing
For distributors holding local stock and contractors doing bulk acceptance, this lowers the risk of batch variation reaching the installation site.
Single-Core Cost Efficiency for Volume Projects
The simplex structure uses a single fiber core, so material cost stays low without affecting connection quality.
This fits broadband drop, FTTH home connection and PON splitting work where large quantities are deployed.
Flexible Customization and OEM
You can change the cable diameter, jacket color, PE bag packaging and printed logo to match your project or your brand, and you can start with no minimum order quantity.
