Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC APC/SC Yellow 50.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC APC/SC Yellow 50.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for long-distance, low-loss optical links. It uses 9/125 µm (OS2) fiber and SC APC connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration, providing consistent signal quality for high-speed network backbones, interbuilding links, and data center connections. The yellow jacket provides standard colour coding for single-mode cabling and simplifies identification and cable management in complex installations.

Advantages

This duplex OS2 patch cable delivers low attenuation and stable return loss due to the single-mode 9/125 µm fiber and angled physical contact (APC) connector endfaces. The SC APC/SC interface ensures precise alignment and reduced back reflection, which is important for long-reach transmission and sensitive optical equipment. The 50.0 m length offers flexibility for routing between racks, rooms, or buildings while maintaining predictable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links between buildings or sites
• Data center uplinks and backbone connections
• Telecommunications and ISP fiber distribution
• Fiber patch panels and cross-connects requiring APC terminations

Key specifications

• Configuration: Duplex
• Connector A: SC APC
• Connector B: SC APC
• Jacket colour: Yellow (single-mode standard)
• Length: 50.0 m
• Typical applications: Long-reach data transmission and backbone cabling

How to use

Route the Ekivalan OS2 duplex patch cable along cable trays or within conduit paths avoiding tight bends and excessive tensile stress. Connect each SC APC connector to the corresponding SC APC receptacle on patch panels or equipment, ensuring the keyed sides align and connectors seat fully. Maintain proper bend radius for 9/125 µm fiber to prevent microbending losses and secure the cable to prevent movement. If splicing or testing is required, follow standard optical fiber handling and safety procedures to protect the fiber endfaces from contamination.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean SC APC endfaces before making connections, use appropriate fiber cleaning tools, and observe minimum bend radius guidelines for single-mode cable. Store and handle the 50.0 m cable on reels or supports to avoid kinks; tighten strain-relief at terminations when mounting in racks or panels.
