Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multimode technology with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification, conforming to OM1 standards for cost-effective short-range optical communication. The duplex design maintains separate transmit and receive paths, essential for full-duplex network connections that require simultaneous bidirectional data flow.
The connector configuration combines SC and MT-RJ interfaces, each end terminated with two male connectors to support duplex operation. SC connectors offer a robust push-pull latching mechanism, while MT-RJ connectors provide a compact, RJ-45-style form factor that saves space in high-density patching environments.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers a practical solution for mixed-connector network environments, eliminating the need for adapters or separate patch cords when connecting SC-based equipment to MT-RJ ports. The direct hybrid configuration reduces points of failure and simplifies cable management in racks and enclosures.
Hybrid Connectivity
Enables direct connection between SC and MT-RJ interfaces without additional components, ideal for network upgrades or equipment with different connector types.
- Dual SC male to dual MT-RJ male
- Maintains duplex operation
- Reduces adapter requirements
OM1 Performance
The 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber supports data rates suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other common protocols over distances up to hundreds of meters.
- 62.5/125 µm core/cladding
- Multimode transmission
- Short to medium reach applications
Deployment / Use Cases
This SC to MT-RJ fiber optic cable is particularly valuable in network environments where equipment with different connector types must be interconnected. Common applications include connecting older SC-based switches or media converters to newer devices with MT-RJ ports, or linking storage area network (SAN) components that utilize mixed interfaces.
The 20-meter length provides flexibility for cross-rack connections in data centers, wiring closets, or equipment rooms. IT administrators can use this cable to extend network segments, patch between distribution frames, or provide temporary links during network reconfigurations without compromising signal integrity.
Data Center Patching
Connect SC-based backbone switches to MT-RJ-equipped servers or storage arrays within the same rack or adjacent enclosures.
Network Upgrades
Bridge legacy SC infrastructure to newer MT-RJ devices during phased technology refresh projects, maintaining connectivity throughout the transition.

FAQ
What types of network devices is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for network devices that utilize SC or MT-RJ fiber optic interfaces, including switches, routers, media converters, and storage area network (SAN) equipment. The dual male connectors on each end support duplex connections, making it suitable for any device requiring separate transmit and receive fiber paths with these connector types.
What is the maximum distance this multimode cable can support?
As an OM1-grade 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber cable, it supports typical short to medium distance applications common in enterprise networks. While exact distance limits depend on data rate and equipment specifications, OM1 fiber generally supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 275 meters and Fast Ethernet up to 2 kilometers, making this 20-meter cable well within operational ranges for most data center and building backbone applications.
Can this cable be used to connect single-mode equipment?
No, this cable contains multimode fiber (62.5/125 µm) and is specifically designed for multimode applications. Using it with single-mode equipment would result in significant signal loss and performance issues. Always match the fiber type (multimode vs. single-mode) between cables and equipment for proper optical performance.
What advantages does the MT-RJ connector offer compared to other fiber connectors?
MT-RJ connectors provide a compact, duplex design in a single housing roughly the size of an RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This space-saving form factor allows higher port density on network equipment and patch panels compared to bulkier SC or ST connectors. The MT-RJ's small footprint makes it ideal for high-density environments where rack space is at a premium, though it requires proper cleaning and handling like all fiber connectors.
