The PC-5112 patch cord is made of two parallel sections of single-mode fiber-optic cable with length of 1.5 meter terminated on each side with SC connectors. SC connectors are currently the most popular optical coupling elements due to simple matching (push-pull coupling with a snap), rectangular cross-section allowing dense packing of the connectors on the panel, and plastic construction (of course outside the ferrule).
The G.657.A2 fiber can be formed into tight coils due to reduced attenuation in such conditions, whereas other parameters are even a little better than in the case of G.652D. Thanks to this feature (smaller allowable bending radius), pigtails and patch cords based on G.657.A2 fiber are more reliable in densely packed installations.
