Leviton Telcom UPDCL-S02 Duplex Sc-lc Sm Patch Cable

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM UPDCL-S02 is a duplex fiber optic patch cable terminated with SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other, built for single-mode transmission. The cable measures 2 meters in length and features an Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish on both connector ends, which produces a highly consistent endface geometry that minimizes return loss and insertion loss in low-latency fiber runs. It is designed for structured cabling environments where single-mode signal integrity across mixed-connector panels is required. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades that handle this type of patch cable.

This patch cable suits horizontal and backbone single-mode fiber runs in commercial buildings, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and campus backbone installations. The SC-to-LC configuration bridges patch panels or active equipment with differing connector footprints, a common scenario when migrating from legacy SC-terminated panels to higher-density LC-based switches or transceivers. It ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the packaging without field termination.

Key Features

• SC to LC duplex configuration bridges mixed-connector infrastructure without field termination
• UPC polish provides low insertion loss and reduced back-reflection on single-mode links
• Single-mode fiber supports long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission
• 2-meter length suits short patch runs between adjacent panels and active equipment
• Duplex construction carries simultaneous transmit and receive on a single assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on patch cable for single-mode fiber infrastructures using SC and LC connector interfaces in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network cabling professional. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables, power down or place transceivers in a safe state and never look directly into an energized fiber port. Clean connector endfaces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Installations in commercial buildings should comply with applicable local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards.
