Intellinet OS2 Singlemode Fibre Patch Cable — LC/UPC to SC/UPC, Duplex, 2 m
OS2 9/125 µmLC – SC UPC2 m DuplexLSZH Yellow
The Intellinet 473972 is a 2 m duplex OS2 singlemode fibre optic patch cable with LC/UPC on one end and SC/UPC on the other, built on 9/125 µm fibre in a LSZH yellow jacket, 3.0 mm in diameter. It is made for IT teams linking switches, routers, servers and fibre patch panels over singlemode, typically with LX/LR-type (1310/1550 nm) SFP or SFP+ transceivers.
LC is the small-form connector used by SFP/SFP+ transceivers and most current switch and media-converter fibre ports. SC is the larger square push-pull connector found on many patch panels, media converters and FTTH ONTs. So this cable bridges an LC port on one side and an SC port on the other — check both ends before ordering.
Before you order: This is singlemode (OS2) fibre. It needs singlemode optics (LX/LR/BiDi, 1310/1550 nm) at both ends — it will not work with multimode SR/SX transceivers.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Intellinet duplex fibre optic patch cable, LC/UPC – SC/UPC, 2 m
- Supplied in a polybag
- Transceivers, couplers and cleaning tools are not included
What It Means in Practice
- Duplex means two fibres: one transmits, one receives. If the link does not come up, transmit and receive are usually crossed — swap the two connectors at one end (A↔B) or use a coupler with the correct polarity.
- 2 m is the end-to-end length. Measure the route including slack in cable managers and trays before ordering — fibre should never be pulled tight or kinked.
What Will Not Work
- It will not work with multimode SR/SX transceivers or multimode fibre runs.
- It does not mate correctly with APC (green, angled) ports or couplers.
- It does not plug into ST, MPO ports. If one end of your link is different, tell us the ports and we will match the right cable.
- It is an indoor patch cord, not an outdoor or direct-burial cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my SFP or SFP+ module?
Yes, if the module has an LC port and is a singlemode type (LX, LR, 1310/1550 nm, or BiDi for simplex). Standard SFP/SFP+ optics use a duplex LC pair, which this cable provides on its LC end.
UPC or APC — does it matter?
Yes. UPC (flat, blue) and APC (8° angle, green) end-faces must never be mixed. This cable is UPC; use it with UPC ports and couplers, which is what most switches, SFP modules and data patch panels use.
Can I get a different length?
Send us the distance between the two ports and we will quote the nearest length in the same fibre type and connectors, so you do not end up with too much slack or a cable that is too short.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Most fibre faults we see come from three mismatches: singlemode versus multimode, UPC versus APC, and the wrong connector at one end. This Intellinet cord is OS2, UPC, LC to SC — confirm those three on both devices and it will simply work. For the equipment side, see our
network switches.
✓ Buy it if your link is OS2 singlemode, both ports are LC and SC with UPC polish, and 2 m covers the route with a little slack.
✕ Skip it if either end uses a different connector or polish, your transceivers are multimode (SR/SX), or you need an outdoor-rated cable.
→ Also consider the same cable in another length, or a coupler/patch panel if you are extending an existing run.
