Belden Inc. FPSSDSD010M OS2 Fiber Patch Cable 10M

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FPSSDSD010M is an OS2 single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for low-loss signal transmission in structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. At 10 meters in length, this duplex SC/UPC to SC/UPC patch cord provides a reliable optical connection between equipment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and commercial buildings. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians install this type of patch cable when connecting fiber distribution panels, switches, transceivers, and other active equipment. OS2 single-mode construction supports long-distance, high-bandwidth runs with minimal attenuation.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and industrial fiber optic installations where OS2 single-mode performance is required. Typical applications include backbone connections in structured cabling systems, cross-connects in telecommunications closets, and equipment-side connections in data center environments. The SC/UPC duplex connector configuration is common in both enterprise network and carrier-grade installations. Technicians working on fiber-to-the-desk, fiber-to-the-floor, or intra-building backbone runs will find this cable appropriate for those scenarios.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction for low attenuation over long distances
• 10-meter length suitable for cross-connect and equipment bay runs
• SC/UPC duplex connectors on both ends for standard patch panel and switch compatibility
• Factory-terminated and factory-tested construction reduces field termination labor
• Designed for use in structured cabling and data center environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use patch cable for OS2 single-mode fiber optic systems using SC/UPC duplex connectors in structured cabling and data center infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or data cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Before routing, ensure the fiber pathway is free of sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius. Clean all connector end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to adapters or transceivers. Do not apply excessive pulling force during cable routing, as this may damage the fiber strands or degrade optical performance.
