Panduit F923LANANSNM020 OS2 Fiber Patch Cable Sc Apc Sc Pc

Product Description

The PANDUIT F923LANANSNM020 is an OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for low-loss, high-bandwidth structured cabling installations. Built with a 3mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, this cable connects SC APC (angled physical contact) on one end to SC PC (physical contact) on the other. The LSZH jacket makes it appropriate for use in plenum-adjacent, confined, or environmentally sensitive spaces where smoke and halogen emissions are a concern. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals install this type of patch cable in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN infrastructure.

This patch cable is suited for OS2 single-mode fiber runs in commercial and enterprise environments. The SC APC connector delivers lower back-reflection compared to standard PC connectors, making it a common choice for high-performance passive optical network (PON) and long-haul transmission links. The duplex 2-fiber configuration supports bidirectional transmission across a single cable assembly. Typical install scenarios include patching between fiber distribution panels, optical transceivers, and active network equipment in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission
• SC APC to SC PC connector configuration for mixed angled and physical contact terminations
• Duplex 2-fiber design enables bidirectional data transmission
• 3mm LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen output in confined or occupied spaces
• SC connectors provide reliable push-pull latching in patch panel and transceiver applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for OS2 single-mode duplex fiber patch cable applications using SC APC and SC PC connector interfaces in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Deactivate or disable active optical transceivers and equipment before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables to avoid eye hazard from live laser sources. Keep dust caps on connectors until the moment of installation, and inspect ferrule end-faces with an appropriate fiber inspection scope before mating. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or fiber damage.
