ACT RL7310 OS2 Singlemode Fibre Optic Cable, 10m, 2x LC to 2x LC ODVA, Duplex

The ACT RL7310 is a 10-meter OS2 singlemode fibre optic patch cable engineered for high-performance network connectivity in demanding environments. Featuring a 9 µm core diameter and full duplex transmission, this cable ensures stable and reliable data transfer. It is equipped with 2x LC to 2x LC ODVA connectors, specifically designed to provide IP67-rated protection against water and dust ingress, making it an essential component for outdoor and industrial networking infrastructure.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers significant benefits for modern telecommunications and wireless networking. By utilizing OS2 singlemode technology, it supports high-speed data transmission over longer distances with minimal signal loss. The inclusion of IP67-rated ODVA connectors ensures that the connection remains secure and protected from harsh environmental factors such as moisture and debris. This robustness makes it an ideal solution for Fiber to the Antenna (FTTA) or Fiber to the Tower (FTTT) applications, where equipment is frequently exposed to the elements. Furthermore, the duplex configuration allows for simultaneous bidirectional data flow, enhancing overall network efficiency.

Suitable for

• Connecting antennas in mobile base stations
• Outdoor Wi-Fi and wireless internet infrastructure
• Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
• Industrial networking environments requiring dust and water protection
• FTTA and FTTT installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specifically designed for outdoor and industrial use with ODVA-compatible hardware. It may not be suitable for standard indoor office environments where IP67-rated connectors are unnecessary and standard LC connectors would be more cost-effective and easier to manage.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 meters
• Fiber type: OS2 Singlemode 9/125 µm
• Connector type: 2x LC to 2x LC ODVA
• Protection rating: IP67 (water and dust resistant)
• Transmission mode: Duplex

How to use

To install the cable, ensure that both the source and destination equipment feature compatible ODVA-style ports. Carefully align the LC ODVA connectors with the corresponding ports on your hardware. Push the connector in and rotate the locking mechanism until it is fully engaged to ensure the IP67 seal is properly seated. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or physical damage to the glass fiber core.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment supports ODVA-style IP67 connectors
• Ensure the 10-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation path
• Check if your network hardware requires OS2 singlemode fiber compatibility

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in outdoor base stations, ensure that all connections are kept clean and free of debris before mating. Regularly inspect the cable jacket for signs of wear or damage if installed in high-vibration or extreme weather areas.
