Panduit F923LANANSNM026 OS2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable Sc Apc

Product Description

The PANDUIT F923LANANSNM026 is an OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for low-loss, high-bandwidth structured cabling installations. Terminated with SC APC connectors on one end and SC connectors on the other, this cable features a 3mm low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for plenum-adjacent or enclosed environments where smoke and toxicity from cable combustion are a concern. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this type of patch cable to connect fiber equipment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN environments. The OS2 single-mode design supports long-distance signal runs with minimal attenuation.

This patch cable is suited for use in structured cabling systems that require OS2 single-mode fiber performance. Typical applications include backbone connections between network closets, fiber-to-the-desk runs, and equipment connections within data centers or telecom rooms. The SC APC connector delivers angled physical contact termination, which reduces back reflection and is commonly specified in passive optical network and high-sensitivity fiber systems. The LSZH jacket meets requirements for installations in poorly ventilated or enclosed spaces.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation signal transmission
• Duplex configuration supports simultaneous send and receive on a single cable assembly
• SC APC to SC connector pairing for angled physical contact performance on one end
• 3mm LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in enclosed spaces
• PC (physical contact) polish on SC connector minimizes insertion loss at the termination point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with SC APC and SC compatible fiber optic ports in OS2 single-mode structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network cabling professional familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Always inspect and clean connector end-faces before mating to avoid contamination-related insertion loss. Avoid bending the cable tighter than the manufacturer-rated minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or fiber damage. Follow local codes and structured cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA-568 when routing and terminating fiber patch cables.
