Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC APC Yellow 1.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC APC Yellow 1.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for duplex connections. With a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification and APC-angled connectors (LC APC to SC APC), the cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss suitable for long-distance optical transmission. The 1.0 m length and yellow jacket enable straightforward routing and visual identification in racks and patch panels used in data centers and telecommunications installations.

Advantages

This duplex OS2 patch cable delivers the physical properties required for single-mode networks: a 9/125 µm fiber structure for low attenuation, APC angled connectors to reduce back reflection, and a duplex configuration for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The short 1.0 m length minimizes excess slack in dense patching environments, while the yellow outer jacket conforms to common color-coding practices for single-mode fiber, simplifying cable management and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting equipment in data centers and server rooms
• Fiber patch panels and distribution frames
• Telecommunications links requiring single-mode duplex connections
• Fiber optic testing and short trunk connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector A: LC APC (angled physical contact)
• Connector B: SC APC (angled physical contact)
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers)
• Length: 1.0 meter
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Typical use: long-distance and high-speed optical transmission

How to use

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness and remove dust with a fiber cleaning tool if necessary. Align the LC APC connector and SC APC connector with their respective ports and insert until a secure connection is made; avoid forcing connectors as APC ferrules are angled and require proper seating. Route the cable through cable management channels and secure gently to prevent sharp bends; maintain minimum bend radius specified by standard single-mode fiber practice. For duplex links, ensure correct polarity by matching transmit to receive ports on connected devices.

Usage recommendations

Store spare cables coiled loosely and protected from dust. When performing moves or changes in patch panels, label both ends for quick identification. Use dust caps on unused connectors and avoid tight bends or crushing the cable to preserve optical performance and long-term reliability.
