EFB Elektronik LC/APC-LC OS2 Fibre Optic Patch Cable, 2m, Yellow

The EFB Elektronik LC/APC-LC OS2 fibre optic patch cable is a high-performance duplex solution designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in professional network environments. With a 2-meter length and a 9 µm core diameter, this single-mode cable ensures precise signal integrity and minimal attenuation, making it an essential component for modern telecommunications and data center infrastructure.

Advantages

This patch cable utilizes OS2 single-mode fibre technology, which is optimized for long-distance data transmission with superior clarity. The inclusion of LC/APC connectors provides a high return loss, significantly reducing back-reflections that can interfere with sensitive network equipment. Furthermore, the cable is constructed with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by minimizing toxic emissions in the event of fire, ensuring compliance with strict building and safety standards.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center interconnections
• Telecommunications network backbones
• Enterprise-level structured cabling systems
• Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations

This cable is not suitable for multi-mode network environments, as it is specifically engineered for single-mode OS2 applications. Attempting to use this cable with multi-mode transceivers or equipment will result in signal incompatibility and connection failure.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 Single-mode
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: LC/APC to LC/APC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Full duplex
• Color: Yellow

To use this patch cable, ensure that both your network equipment and transceivers are compatible with LC/APC single-mode connections. Carefully remove the protective dust caps from the connectors immediately before insertion into the port. Align the connector key with the port slot and push until a click is heard, ensuring a secure connection. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the glass fibre core.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports LC/APC connectors.
• Confirm the required cable length for your specific rack or equipment layout.
• Ensure compatibility with single-mode (OS2) infrastructure.

For optimal performance and longevity, keep the connector end-faces clean and free of dust or oils. Always store the cable in a cool, dry environment and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable jacket.
