How does a duplex patch cord differ from a simplex one?

A duplex one contains two fibers bonded into a single cable, with two connectors at each end; a simplex one has one fiber and one connector, used for unidirectional transmission or in WDM schemes.

Is this patch cord suitable for SFP modules with two ports (TX/RX)?

Yes, the duplex SC/UPC patch cord is ideal for SFP and SFP+ transceivers with separate receive and transmit ports in the SC format.

Can a duplex patch cord be split into two simplex ones?

A duplex cable consists of two fibers in a common jacket with a special Duplex SC connector; mechanically splitting it into simplex ones is not recommended, as this may damage the cable.

SC/UPC SM Duplex optical patch cord, 3 m

The Pixietech SC/UPC SM Duplex optical patch cord with a length of 3 meters is a two-fiber connecting cable on single-mode fiber for simultaneous transmission and reception of a signal. The duplex configuration with two SC/UPC connectors at each end allows connecting equipment without additional splitters, which simplifies installation and reduces the likelihood of error. Single-mode fiber ensures operation over extended lines with minimal attenuation. The patch cord is in demand when connecting bidirectional optical transceivers, media converters, and switches in telecommunication and corporate networks.
