Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/SC APC yellow 0.5 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/SC APC yellow 0.5 m is a short-length fiber optic patch cord engineered for single-mode network links. With a 9/125 µm fiber core and APC-terminated LC and SC connectors, the cable is intended to provide low back reflection and reliable signal integrity in high-speed data transmission environments. Its 0.5 m length and yellow jacket make it suitable for organized rack and patch panel connections where short, clearly identifiable fiber links are required.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable combines single-mode OS2 fiber with angled physical contact (APC) terminations to reduce return loss and preserve signal quality across the connection. The LC connector offers compact footprint density while the SC connector provides robust insertion stability. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess slack in patch panels and reduces bending stress. The yellow outer jacket identifies the single-mode fiber type and supports easy visual management in network installations.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between equipment in server racks and patch panels
• Single-mode optical links in telecommunication and data center environments
• Fiber optic transceiver to distribution frame connections
• Testing and temporary patching during network provisioning

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector configuration: duplex, LC (APC) to SC (APC)
• Connector polish: angled physical contact (APC)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Application: indoor patching for high-speed optical networks

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the LC and SC ports required for your connection, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive lines. Insert the LC connector into the LC duplex adapter or transceiver port and the SC connector into the SC adapter or panel port until a secure click is felt. Avoid sharp bends and keep the minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber to prevent signal degradation. When disconnecting, press the release mechanism on each connector and withdraw straight to avoid stressing the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or body and keep end faces clean; use a fiber inspection scope or lint-free wipes and approved cleaning fluid before mating. Store and route short patch cords to minimize microbending and maintain slack management in patch panels to preserve optical performance.
