PE3FCA is Pasternack’s series of fiber optic patch cable assemblies covering multimode OM1/OM3/OM4 and single‑mode OS2 with LC, SC, ST, and FC UPC connector options. The series offers simplex and duplex cords, plus multi‑fiber breakout variants, with LSZH or PE jackets and OFNR/OFNP options. Typical optical performance is ≤0.3 dB insertion loss with ≥30 dB return loss for multimode and ≥50 dB for OS2. Standard lengths range from 1 m to 10 m, with a −20 to +70°C operating range and 2.0 mm OD on patch cords (6.2 mm on select distribution cables).
