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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC APC Yellow 50.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for point-to-point connections in structured cabling systems. With a 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio and APC-angled connectors on both LC and SC terminations, this 50 metre cable supports low attenuation and stable signal transmission for long-distance and high-speed network links. The yellow jacket provides standard color identification for single-mode fibers, simplifying cable management in racks and distribution panels.

Advantages

The cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss due to OS2 single-mode fiber and angled physical contact (APC) connectors, improving signal integrity for optical transceivers and passive components. Duplex construction allows full-duplex data transfer over two fibers arranged in a compact duplex format, while the 9/125 µm fiber supports typical single-mode applications. The standardized LC APC and SC APC terminations ensure compatibility with a wide range of equipment and patch panels used in telecommunications and data center environments.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode network links in data centers and carrier networks
• Interconnection between optical transceivers, ODFs and active equipment
• Telecommunication backbone and campus network fiber runs
• Fiber patching in distribution frames and horizontal cabling where APC connectors are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector A: LC APC (duplex)
• Connector B: SC APC (duplex)
• Cable length: 50.0 m
• Jacket color: Yellow (single-mode identification)
• Duplex configuration for simultaneous transmit and receive

How to use

Route the duplex patch cable between the two connection points, ensuring bend radius limits are respected to avoid excess attenuation or fiber damage. Insert the LC APC connector into the corresponding LC APC socket and the SC APC connector into the SC APC socket, aligning keying features and seating each connector until it clicks or is firmly in place. Verify link continuity and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after installation to confirm correct polarity and acceptable loss values.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable by its booted ends and avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling force, or kinking. Use proper fiber management such as cable trays and patch panels, keep dust caps on connectors until final mating, and perform cleaning with approved fiber cleaning tools before connection to maintain low insertion loss and high return loss.
