What Makes This 12 Core Patch Cord Different
SC fiber optic patch cord is a small compact patch cable very popularly used in many applications. These network solutions include telecommunication networks, LANs, data processing networks, device terminations and premises distributions. SC patch cords are designed to deliver fast Ethernet solutions in Gigabit applications and ATM applications with less space consumption.
1 Cable = 6 Duplex Links
Consolidates 6 duplex connections into one assembly, cutting cable bulk by ~60%. Less clutter in your terminal box or ODF means easier tracing and faster maintenance.
12-Color Fiber Identification
Each inner fiber follows TIA/EIA-598 color code (Blue → Aqua), so you pinpoint any channel instantly. The orange outer jacket clearly separates this from yellow single mode patch cords on site.
SC Push-Pull × 12 Ports
All 12 channels use SC/UPC connectors with ceramic ferrules. Push-pull latch prevents accidental pull-out - critical when 12 fibers share one cable. Pairs directly with standard SC adapters on any panel.

Features
Singlemode or Multimode SC, Riser or Plenum Rated
We supplies SC fiber optic cable assemblies, with single mode (9/125 OS1, OS2), duplex and multimode (50/125 and 62.5/125) options. You can choose if it's for riser application or plenum connections or if you want it to be completely customized, you can contact us to know more about our OEM/ODM service for SC patch cords.
Easy and Convenient Pull Out
Built with a conveniently snap in configuration, SC connections are equipped with locking mechanisms that are similar to the retaining tab of an RJ45 connector. Now it's easy to connect and disconnect the connector from the device. The locking tabs are injection-molded with enhanced durability in resisting pulls, strains, snags, and impacts during cabling installs and maintenance.

FAQ
Q: Why choose 12 core breakout over 6 duplex patch cords?
A: One cable replaces six, reducing cable volume by ~60%. Faster port tracing, better airflow in cabinets, and same optical performance on every channel.
Q: Can I get SC on one end and LC on the other?
A: Yes - we support hybrid configs like SC-LC, SC-FC, and SC-ST on 12 core breakout cables, plus mixed polish types (UPC/APC). See our connector options.
Q: How are the 12 fibers color-coded inside?
A: They follow TIA/EIA-598: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate, White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Rose, Aqua. Standard sequence for instant identification during patching.
Q: PVC or LSZH - which jacket should I pick?
A: PVC for standard indoor installs. LSZH for enclosed or public spaces (data centers, hospitals) where smoke toxicity matters. European codes (EN 50173) generally mandate LSZH. No difference in optical performance.
Q: Is each cable individually tested?
A: Yes. Every unit is 100% factory tested for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry. Individual test report included.
