The SC-MTRJ multi-mode network patch cord is a versatile fiber-optic tool that connects legacy SC-equipped devices to high-density MTRJ-enabled hardware, delivering multi-mode’s short-haul, high-bandwidth performance—ideal for data centers, enterprise LANs, and facilities transitioning from older to modern networking equipment. This patch cord solves the compatibility gap between SC-based legacy systems (e.g., older switches, patch panels) and MTRJ-equipped devices (e.g., high-density servers, compact SAN modules), where space efficiency and high bandwidth are equally critical.
This patch cord uses 50/125um multi-mode fiber (OM3/OM4), the industry standard for high-speed short-haul applications. The wider 50μm core transmits multiple light beams, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps (550 meters with OM4) and 40 Gbps (150 meters with OM4)—perfect for bandwidth-intensive tasks like server-to-switch connections, SAN links, and high-definition video streaming. The multi-mode design also works with cost-effective VCSEL transceivers, reducing network costs compared to single-mode alternatives, a key advantage for enterprises managing legacy hardware upgrades.
The SC-MTRJ connector pair is tailored for mixed-environment needs. The SC connector (on one end) is a robust, square interface with a push-pull locking tab, widely used in legacy equipment for its durability and easy handling—even with gloved hands. Its ceramic ferrule ensures low insertion loss (<0.3dB), maintaining signal integrity for multi-mode transmission. The MTRJ connector (on the other end) is a duplex, small-form-factor interface that integrates two fibers into a single compact housing—half the size of dual LC connectors. This design saves significant space in high-density racks, making it ideal for modern data centers with limited rack real estate. The MTRJ’s snap-in latching mechanism enables quick, tool-free installation, reducing downtime during equipment reconfiguration.
Built with a flame-retardant jacket (LSZH or PVC) that meets fire safety standards (e.g., UL 94 V-0), this patch cord is suitable for indoor use. It complies with TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and IEC 61754-4 standards, ensuring compatibility with all multi-mode SC and MTRJ hardware. Available in lengths from 1 meter (for rack-to-server connections) to 30 meters (for short-haul enterprise runs) and color-coded aqua (for OM3/OM4), the SC-MTRJ multi-mode network patch cord provides a cost-effective, space-efficient bridge between legacy and modern short-haul high-bandwidth networks.
