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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm with SC APC to SC connectors is a single-mode fiber optic cable designed for long-distance, high-performance data transmission. With a 15.0 m length and yellow jacket, this duplex patch cable provides two optical paths in a compact assembly for linking networking equipment in data centers, telecom rooms and backbone installations. The OS2 9/125 µm fiber geometry and APC connectors reduce back reflection and support low-loss connections for systems requiring stable signal integrity.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable combines single-mode OS2 fiber with angled physical-contact (APC) SC terminations to minimize return loss and maintain high optical performance over extended distances. The 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio is optimized for low attenuation and consistent modal behavior in long-haul and campus networks. The yellow outer jacket and standardized SC connectors simplify identification and interoperability with common fiber panels and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centers
• Telecommunication backbone and long-distance optical links
• Connecting optical transceivers and switches with SC APC ports
• Laboratory and test environments requiring single-mode duplex connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC APC to SC (duplex)
• Length: 15.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers in one cable assembly)
• Typical use: long-distance and backbone optical links

How to use

Route the Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable carefully to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber. Clean connector endfaces before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to ensure low insertion loss and prevent contamination. Align SC APC connectors with corresponding SC APC ports until the latch engages; avoid forcing connections. Label or document port assignments at both ends to ease maintenance and troubleshooting.

Usage recommendations

Use this OS2 9/125 µm SC APC/SC duplex cable for long-reach links and backbone runs where low return loss and stable single-mode performance are required. Store and deploy the cable in temperature- and humidity-controlled environments where possible; inspect and clean connectors regularly, and avoid kinking or tight coiling to maintain optical performance.
