MicroConnect OS2 MU-UPC 2m Fiber Optic Cable, Yellow

The MicroConnect MC-MUMUAT8SM2M-SIMPLEX 2 m MU/UPC to MU/UPC OS2 G.652.D Simplex Attenuated Fiber Optic Patch Cord, 8 dB is a specialised single-mode cable for indoor optical networks. It functions as a simplex link, carrying optical signals in one direction over a single glass fibre. Its defining characteristic is the integrated 8 dB attenuation, which reduces optical signal power by a fixed amount. This is needed when incoming light levels are too high for a receiver, preventing saturation and possible equipment damage. The cord offers a direct way to balance optical budgets within fibre distribution systems without separate attenuator components.

Built with G.652.D glass fibre, the cable works with standard single-mode OS2 transmission equipment. It has MU/UPC male connectors on both ends, providing a small-footprint interface suitable for high-density patch panels. The 2.0 mm round outer jacket is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which protects the internal glass while remaining flexible enough for routing through standard cable management systems. The yellow jacket allows quick visual identification as a fibre optic component, distinguishing it from copper cabling in shared pathways. At two metres in length, this configuration is intended for short connections between adjacent racks or within a single distribution frame.
