SN to SN Duplex Fiber Patch Cable – 2.0mm for High-Density Data Center and FTTH Cabling

The SN Fiber Optic Patch Cord represents the ultimate solution for next-generation Base-2 optical connectivity. Designed to deliver unmatched packing density with high-performance reliability, the SN® connector is the ideal choice for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecom applications.

Featuring a compact and durable design, the SN® connector supports 1.6mm or 2.0mm round cables, providing ruggedized protection and strain relief. The integrated push-pull boot simplifies operation in high-density patch panels, while the optional gang-clip allows for simultaneous patching of four connectors, enabling rapid deployment in dense network environments.

With compliance to TIA 604 (FOCIS), IEC 61754, and YD/T standards, the SN patch cord ensures exceptional performance across OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5, and OS2 fiber types, meeting the demands of Gigabit Ethernet, 10G Ethernet, and high-speed Fiber Channel networks.

Deployment Notes

• SN-to-SN patch cords are typically selected for high-density data center architectures where the SN (Base-2) connector standard has been finalized during system design.

• Not recommended for projects where connector interface selection (SN vs LC or MDC) has not yet been determined.

• Data Centers: Supports high-density connectivity for modern high-speed network architectures.
• Telecom and Enterprise Networks: Provides carrier-grade performance and long-term reliability.
• FTTX and PON Deployments: Perfect for optical connectivity in fiber-to-the-home and passive optical network applications.
• Compact Infrastructure Upgrades: Offers seamless integration into existing legacy networks with a clear upgrade path to next-gen data rates.

Q1: What is a 2F SN to SN 2.0mm singlemode patch cord?
It is a duplex (2-fiber) OS2 singlemode patch cord with SN connectors on both ends and a 2.0mm jacket, designed for compact, high-density fiber connections.

Q2: What advantages do SN connectors provide?
SN connectors are smaller than LC, allowing up to four times higher density in patch panels and transceivers, making them ideal for modern data centers.

Q3: What performance can I expect?
Typical insertion loss is ≤0.3 dB and return loss ≥50 dB, ensuring stable and low-loss optical transmission.

Q4: Can the patch cord be customized?
Yes. Length, jacket color, labeling, and polarity can all be customized to match project requirements.

Q5: What jacket materials are available?
LSZH is standard for indoor safety, while PVC and OFNR/OFNP options are available for other installation environments.

Q6: How are these cords tested before shipment?
Each patch cord is 100% factory tested for insertion loss and return loss to meet international standards.

Q7: What are typical applications for SN patch cords?
They are widely used in hyperscale data centers, cloud networks, enterprise IT, and high-speed optical interconnects requiring high density.

Q8: What is the typical lead time for delivery?
Standard lengths are usually available for fast shipment, while customized cords typically require 3–7 working days.
