Singlemode Fiber Cable ACT 10m LC Connectors OS2 9/125

The ACT Singlemode Fiber Cable 10m with LC connectors and OS2 9/125 construction is a singlemode patch cable designed for long-distance optical transmission. The cable uses a 9 µm core diameter singlemode fiber optimized for OS2 performance, terminated with LC connectors for compact, duplex connectivity. At 10 meters length and with polarity twist construction, it supports high-speed links between network equipment, optical transceivers and patch panels while maintaining low insertion loss and controlled return loss.

Advantages

This singlemode fiber cable provides a small-diameter, low-attenuation path suitable for long-reach connections. LC terminations offer a compact form factor compatible with modern transceivers and high-density patch panels. The OS2 9/125 fiber geometry ensures low signal loss over extended distances, and the polarity twist design simplifies pairing in duplex runs. The cable is built for stable optical performance and reliable mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical transceivers in telecom and data center equipment
• Patch panel to switch or router singlemode links
• Long-distance point-to-point fiber links within buildings or between premises
• Laboratory and test setups requiring standardized singlemode LC connections

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for cleanliness before installation and use appropriate fiber-grade cleaning tools if needed. Route the 10 m cable without tight bends; adhere to the minimum bend radius specified by the fiber manufacturer when installing through racks or trays. Insert LC connectors into matching LC ports until they click, ensuring correct duplex orientation for transmit and receive pairs. Verify link integrity with an optical power meter or qualified transceiver diagnostics after connecting.

Usage recommendations

Keep connector dust caps in place until the final connection, avoid exceeding the cable bend radius, and store the cable coiled loosely to prevent microbends. For critical installations, perform insertion loss and return loss measurements to confirm performance meets system requirements.
