Panduit F923LANANSNM033 OS2 Fiber Patch Cord Sc Apc to Sc

Product Description

The PANDUIT F923LANANSNM033 is an OS2 single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for low-loss, high-bandwidth structured cabling installations. Built with a 3mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, this 2-fiber cord terminates with an SC APC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other. The angled physical contact (APC) polish on one end delivers reduced back-reflection, making it well-suited for passive optical network and long-haul signal paths. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers deploy this type of patch cord in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise backbone runs where OS2 single-mode glass is specified.

This patch cord fits structured cabling environments that require OS2 single-mode connectivity between patch panels, media converters, switches, and optical transceivers. The SC APC to SC configuration is common in PON architectures, FTTx deployments, and campus backbone applications. The LSZH jacket meets fire and smoke safety requirements for plenum-adjacent and enclosed-space installations where halogen-free materials are mandated by local codes or building specifications. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installation and moves-adds-changes in existing fiber infrastructure.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber for long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission
• SC APC to SC termination for low back-reflection performance
• 3mm LSZH jacket rated for low smoke and zero halogen emissions in enclosed spaces
• 2-fiber construction for duplex data path support
• Physical contact polish minimizes insertion loss at the SC connector end

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OS2 single-mode patch cord compatible with SC APC and SC-type fiber ports found in patch panels, optical network units, media converters, and single-mode transceivers in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician following TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Inspect ferrules and clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to avoid contamination-related insertion loss. Do not bend the cable tighter than the specified minimum bend radius, and avoid pinching or kinking the jacket during routing. Power down or disable active optical ports before connecting or disconnecting the patch cord where laser safety is a concern.
