Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC/SC yellow 3.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC/SC yellow 3.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cord built for reliable high-speed data transmission. With a 9/125 µm core-cladding structure and SC connectors on both ends, this duplex cable provides low attenuation and stable optical performance across long distances. The 3.0 m length and yellow jacket identify it as a standard single-mode connection suitable for fiber backbone links, patch panels and direct equipment interconnects in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This duplex OS2 cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss characteristics typical for single-mode 9/125 µm fiber, ensuring efficient signal transfer and reduced errors. The SC/SC connector pair provides a push-pull coupling mechanism for secure mating and easy installation in standard adapter panels. The yellow jacket improves visual identification of single-mode lines in mixed cabling installations, while the 3.0 m length balances flexibility and tidy routing within racks and enclosures.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical transceivers and switches in data centers
• Patch panel to patch panel or patch panel to active equipment links
• Telecommunications backbone and long-distance single-mode links
• Laboratory test setups and fiber link validation

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, core/cladding 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Length: 3.0 meters
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Mode: duplex (two fibers for transmit and receive)

How to use

Route the Ekivalan OS2 duplex patch cable between the required SC adapter ports or equipment transceivers, taking care to maintain gentle bend radii and avoid sharp kinks. Align and insert the SC connectors until they click into the adapter or transceiver receptacle. Ensure transmit and receive channels are matched at each end; for duplex links, keep fiber polarity correct according to your network wiring scheme. Periodically inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination and clean with fiber-optic cleaning tools if needed to maintain signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Store and deploy the cable in environments within standard indoor temperature and humidity ranges, avoid excessive pulling force on connector boots, and follow industry best practices for fiber handling. For optimal performance in long runs or critical links, verify attenuation with appropriate test equipment and replace connectors or cables showing excessive loss or visible endface damage.
