Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC APC Yellow 30.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC APC in yellow is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable, long-distance data transmission. With a 30.0 m length and duplex configuration, it provides two separate single-mode fibers within a single jacket. The cable uses 9/125 µm core/cladding dimensions (OS2) and is terminated with LC APC and SC APC connectors for low back reflection and stable signal performance in telecom and data center links.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable offers low attenuation and improved return loss due to the APC (angled physical contact) polished connectors. The OS2 9/125 µm fiber is optimized for single-mode transmission over extended distances, while the duplex construction supports bidirectional or redundant connections. The yellow jacket provides standard industry color coding for single-mode fiber, aiding identification and cable management in racks and patches.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode fiber links in telecom and carrier networks
• Data center backbone and inter-rack connections
• FTTx and distribution frames requiring APC terminations
• Laboratory testing and fiber patch panels where duplex connections are needed

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (OS2), 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers within one jacket)
• Connectors: LC APC on one end, SC APC on the other end
• Length: 30.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (industry standard for single-mode)
• Polish type: angled physical contact (APC) for reduced back reflection

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before making connections. Connect the LC APC end to the corresponding LC APC port and the SC APC end to the SC APC port, ensuring proper alignment and gentle insertion until the connectors click or are secure. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; adhere to the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber to prevent attenuation increases. Label or document the cable endpoints in your patch panel or network diagram for future maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean APC connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before each connection and maintain bend radii above the minimum specified for 9/125 µm fiber. Use this cable in environments that match single-mode infrastructure and where APC connectors are required to minimize return loss.
