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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC/ST in yellow, 0.5 m, is a duplex single-mode fiber patch cord designed for high-speed optical links. It uses a 9/125 µm (core/cladding) fiber with OS2 single-mode characteristics and SC to ST connector terminations to provide stable, low-loss connections in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and point-to-point links. The half-meter length suits short interconnects between panels, transceivers and active equipment while the yellow jacket signals single-mode fiber for easy identification.

Advantages

This patch cable delivers low attenuation and consistent transmission performance typical for OS2 single-mode fiber, helping to maintain signal integrity over extended distances when used in appropriate infrastructures. The duplex construction supports bidirectional or parallel connections without additional cabling, and the SC/ST connector pair offers compatibility with equipment using these common connector types. The compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack in racks and patch panels, improving cable management.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between optical transceivers and patch panels
• Data center cross-connections and rack-to-rack links
• Telecommunications room cabling and network distribution frames
• Laboratory setups and equipment testing requiring single-mode duplex links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: SC on one end, ST on the other
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Yellow (single-mode identification)
• Typical attenuation: conforms to single-mode OS2 performance for minimal signal loss

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Align and insert the SC connector into the corresponding adapter or transceiver port until it latches, then insert the ST connector by aligning the keyed bayonet and twisting to lock. Route the duplex cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and strain on the connectors. Ensure both ends are securely seated and test the optical link performance with a compatible tester or the system’s diagnostic tools.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent sharp bends; maintain bend radius recommended for 9/125 µm fiber. Keep connector dust caps on until final connection. Use fiber cleaners before mating and perform optical loss or continuity testing after installation to verify link integrity.
