Fiber Patch Cords

Category Overview

NetSource offers a complete line of fiber patch cords designed to meet the demands of today’s high-performance networks. Available in all standard connector types — including LC, SC, ST, CS, and SN — our assemblies support both singlemode (OS2) and multimode (OM1 through OM5) applications. We offer U.S.-made domestic patch cords, Corning Gold assemblies for customers who specify Corning-certified builds, and cost-effective import options including Corning® NetLight™ fiber. For government-funded and federally regulated projects, we provide both (Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) compliant and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant domestic solutions that meet sourcing requirements.

Patch cords are available in simplex or duplex, in standard or custom lengths, with a wide range of jacket types including riser, plenum, and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). We support both UPC and APC polish types to match equipment requirements and minimize insertion and return loss. Whether you’re connecting high-density transceivers in a hyperscale data center or managing fiber infrastructure across an enterprise or central office, NetSource delivers patch cords that ensure long-term optical performance and mechanical reliability. All assemblies are 100% factory-tested for IL and RL, serialized for traceability, and built to meet or exceed TIA/EIA and GR-326 standards — giving you confidence in every connection.

U.S. Made Fiber Patch Cords

NetSource’s U.S.-Made fiber optic patch cords are built to the highest standards of quality and performance. Assembled in the USA using premium components, these cables are available in a wide range of connector configurations and lengths—both standard and custom. Jacket options include multiple sizes and colors to suit various network environments. When used as part of our SOURCE+ Fiber Solutions system, these patch cords qualify for a comprehensive system solutions warranty. These assemblies are BABAA-compliant and TAA-compliant, making them ideal for federally funded broadband and infrastructure deployments.

Corning Gold Fiber Patch Cords

NetSource’s participation in the Corning® CAH Connections Gold Program allows us to offer fiber patch cords that are fully covered under Corning’s 25-Year Extended Warranty. These premium assemblies use Corning fiber and connectors and are manufactured to exacting standards that ensure long-term reliability in demanding environments. Each cable is factory-terminated, serialized, and 100% tested. We offer customization on length, labeling, and packaging to meet specific project needs—with fast turnaround and dependable delivery.

NetLight Series Fiber Patch Cords

NetSource’s NetLight Series fiber jumpers are our most economical line of fiber patch cables. These are kept in stock and are often able to ship same day. NetLight jumpers are stocked in meter lengths between 1 and 30 meters. Custom lengths and specifications are available at the same economical price point and typically carry a 5-7 day lead time.

SN Fiber Patch Cords

NetSource’s SN fiber patch cords represent the next generation of fiber connectors—engineered for ultra-high-density applications and next-gen data rates. Featuring a Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) SN interface, these patch cords deliver three times the fiber density of standard duplex LC connectors, making them ideal for 400G networks and beyond. The SN connector includes an integrated push-pull boot for simplified handling, even in dense patch panels where finger access is limited. Built for easy keying and alignment, SN patch cords ensure fast, accurate, and secure connectivity. Available in 1.6mm or 2.0mm jacket diameters, these assemblies are constructed with high-quality ceramic ferrules and ruggedized jackets for enhanced durability and strain relief. SN patch cords are available in both SN-to-SN and SN-to-LC configurations, and are fully TAA-compliant, making them a reliable choice for data centers, telecom networks, and government-funded infrastructure builds.

CS Fiber Patch Cords

NetSource’s CS fiber patch cords are designed for high-speed, space-constrained environments that require maximum density without sacrificing performance. Developed to support next-generation transceivers such as QSFP-DD and OSFP, the CS connector features two 1.25mm ferrules in a compact footprint—offering twice the density of standard LC duplex connectors. The push-pull tab design allows for easy access in densely packed panels and transceiver ports, reducing installation time and finger fatigue. These assemblies are ideal for data centers, hyperscale environments, and cloud infrastructure where port density and speed are critical. CS patch cords are available in both CS-to-CS and CS-to-LC configurations and can be customized to meet specific application requirements. Built to meet industry standards with TAA compliance, they deliver the reliability and flexibility needed for high-performance fiber networks.
