Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC APC/SC APC Yellow 0.5 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm with SC APC to SC APC connectors is a single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. Its 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio supports long-distance signal propagation with low attenuation. The cable is jacketed in yellow for standard single-mode identification and is terminated with angle-polished SC APC connectors on both ends to reduce back reflection. With a length of 0.5 m, this duplex patch cable is compact and suitable for short interconnects in telecom, datacenter and network cabinet environments.

Advantages

This duplex OS2 fiber cable offers low insertion loss and low return loss thanks to the 9/125 µm single-mode construction and SC APC angle-polished connectors. The yellow jacket provides consistent visual identification for single-mode links and the duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive paths in a single compact assembly. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable bulk while preserving signal integrity for patching between adjacent equipment or in dense rack layouts.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects in data centers and server racks
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Telecommunications and access networks requiring single-mode links
• Connections between optical transceivers and network equipment with SC APC ports

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: SC APC to SC APC, duplex
• Connector polish: angle-polished (APC) for reduced back reflection
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Configuration: duplex patch cable (two fibers)

How to use

Uncoil the duplex patch cable and align the keyed SC APC connectors with the corresponding SC APC ports on your devices or patch panel. Insert each connector until it clicks into place, ensuring the angle-polished faces are clean and free of dust or contaminants prior to connection. Use the 0.5 m length for close-proximity patching between adjacent ports or equipment; avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable's minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage to the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces with a fiber inspection tool and clean as necessary with proper fiber cleaning materials. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks, and mechanical stress. Store unused connectors with protective caps to keep endfaces clean and preserve optical performance.
