Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC yellow 20.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/SC in yellow, 20.0 m, is a singlemode duplex fiber optic patch cord designed for long‑reach, low‑loss data links. It uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding singlemode fiber optimized for OS2 performance and terminates with an LC APC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other. The cable’s yellow jacket provides standard visual identification for singlemode links and the duplex format supports paired transmit/receive channels for fiber‑based networking and telecommunications installations.

Advantages

This patch cable provides low attenuation and stable signal transmission over extended distances thanks to the 9/125 µm singlemode fiber construction and OS2 characteristics. The LC APC connector offers an angled physical contact to reduce back reflection, and the SC connector provides a durable push/pull coupling suitable for patch panels and equipment ports. The 20.0 m length allows flexible placement between devices without additional splicing, while the duplex assembly simplifies orderly routing of transmit and receive lines.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Long‑distance singlemode fiber links in data centers and telecom rooms
• Interconnection between optical transceivers, switches and patch panels
• FTTx backbone runs and metered campus links
• Testing and temporary installations where a 20 m duplex connection is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode, 9/125 µm
• Optical class: OS2 (long‑reach singlemode)
• Connectors: LC APC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Configuration: duplex (paired fibers for Tx/Rx)
• Length: 20.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (singlemode identification)

How to use

Unpack the duplex cable and route it along cable trays or through conduits to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Insert the LC APC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on your transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation for the angled APC ferrule and secure seating of the SC connector. Use cable management clips or ties to secure the cable and keep transmit and receive fibers paired and untwisted. For best performance, keep connector end faces clean and inspect or clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to connection.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops and protect connector end faces with dust caps when not in use. Avoid excessive tension and repeated tight bending; follow standard singlemode fiber handling practices and clean connectors before mating to minimize insertion loss and return loss.
