Black Box FOSM-001M-SCLC

Overview

The Black Box FOSM-001M-SCLC is a 1 meter (3.2 feet) singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed to connect devices with SC and LC ports in racks, closets, or lab benches. It supports high-speed data transmission for Gigabit and 10 Gb Ethernet networks, ensuring minimal signal loss and reliable performance for switches, servers, and storage arrays. The cable’s yellow jacket clearly identifies it as singlemode, helping to prevent confusion during installation and maintenance.

Key features

• Duplex zipcord construction with a 2.0 mm diameter keeps the two fiber strands together for neat routing while allowing easy separation when needed.
• SC connector on one end provides compatibility with legacy equipment, while the LC connector on the other end fits modern high-density transceiver modules.
• OFNR-rated PVC jacket meets riser fire-safety standards, making it suitable for vertical runs between building floors as well as horizontal cabling in equipment rows.
• Factory-tested to meet or exceed TIA/EIA standards for insertion loss and return loss, reducing troubleshooting time and ensuring consistent network performance.
• Bright yellow jacket color clearly distinguishes singlemode fiber from multimode cables, simplifying identification during fast-paced maintenance.
• Supports long-distance, high-bandwidth links with OS2 9/125 singlemode fiber optimized for Gigabit and 10 Gb Ethernet applications.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable bridges older and newer fiber optic equipment by combining an SC connector with an LC connector. The SC end fits legacy devices commonly found in existing infrastructure, while the LC end connects to modern transceiver modules used in high-density switches and servers. This makes it a flexible choice for environments undergoing upgrades or mixed equipment setups.

Ideal uses and environments

Well suited for data centers, server rooms, and network closets, this patch cable works effectively for extending singlemode fiber links, patching 10 Gb Ethernet backbones, or setting up test environments where quick reconfiguration is necessary. Its riser-rated jacket allows safe installation in vertical cable runs between floors, making it a practical option for multi-story buildings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
