Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC APC/SC APC yellow 15.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm with SC APC to SC APC connectors is designed for single-mode fiber optic links requiring low loss and reliable connection. With a 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio and OS2 specification, this 15.0 m yellow duplex cable supports long-distance, high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and telecommunication environments. The SC APC endfaces provide angled physical contact to reduce back reflection, making the cable suitable for sensitive optical equipment and precise signal paths.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable features single-mode OS2 fiber with a 9/125 µm profile that delivers low attenuation and consistent optical performance over longer runs. The SC APC connectors ensure stable mating, low return loss and reduced back reflection. The 15.0 m length offers installation flexibility while the yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in cable management systems. The cable is suitable for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections where single-mode performance and reliable connectorization are required.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links in telecom and data centers
• Patch panels, optical distribution frames and rack cabling
• Connections to optical transceivers, OLTs, and other active equipment requiring APC interfaces
• Laboratory setups and field installations needing low back reflection

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, OS2

• Connector type: SC APC to SC APC (duplex)
• Length: 15.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow
• Performance: low attenuation and low return loss suitable for long-haul and campus links

How to use

Select appropriate routing and secure cable runs following installation standards to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius specified by the fiber manufacturer. Clean SC APC connectors before mating using approved fiber cleaning tools to ensure optimum optical performance. Insert the duplex connectors into the corresponding adapter or transceiver ports, ensuring APC keyed orientation for proper angled contact. After installation, label both ends and test end-to-end attenuation and return loss with suitable fiber test equipment to verify link performance.

Usage recommendations

Avoid repeated connector mating and exposure to dust or moisture. Store spare cable coils in original packaging and protect connector endfaces with dust caps until final connection. For critical links, perform OTDR and power-meter tests after installation and periodically during maintenance cycles.
