Panduit F923LANANSNM012 OS2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable Sc Apc Sc

Product Description

The PANDUIT F923LANANSNM012 is an OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Built with a 3mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, it connects SC APC to SC connectors across two fibers. LSZH jacketing limits toxic smoke and fume output during a fire event, making it the required choice for plenum or confined-space pathways where halogen-free materials are mandated. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this assembly.

This patch cable is suited for OS2 single-mode backbone and horizontal runs in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network closets. It supports high-bandwidth, long-distance optical transmission typical of single-mode infrastructure. The SC APC connector on one end and the SC connector on the other make it applicable in networks where angle-polished connectors are used at the source or distribution point to minimize back-reflection. The duplex configuration supports full-duplex data transmission over separate transmit and receive fibers.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, high-bandwidth optical runs
• Duplex construction carries transmit and receive signals on separate fibers
• 3mm LSZH jacket meets halogen-free requirements for restricted or enclosed cable pathways
• SC APC to SC connector pairing minimizes back-reflection at angle-polished termination points
• Pre-terminated factory assembly ensures consistent insertion loss and polish quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cable for OS2 single-mode fiber optic systems using SC APC and SC connector interfaces in structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Inspect connector ferrules for contamination before mating and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools prior to insertion. Do not bend the cable below its minimum bend radius and avoid cinching tie wraps tightly against the jacket. Power down or disable active optical transceivers at both ends before handling connectors to prevent eye hazard from laser sources.
