Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC/ST yellow 2.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm SC/ST in yellow, 2.0 m, is a single-mode fiber patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured networks. Its 9/125 µm core and OS2 classification provide low attenuation and stable optical performance for long-distance links in data centers, server rooms and office networking cabinets. The combination of SC and ST connectors offers compatibility with equipment that uses either connector type and enables straightforward integration into mixed-connector fiber installations.

Advantages

This 2.0 m OS2 duplex cable delivers low insertion loss and consistent return loss thanks to its 9/125 µm single-mode fiber construction. The SC connector on one end and the ST connector on the other ensure a secure mechanical fit and stable optical contact. The bright yellow jacket provides easy identification of single-mode lines in bundles and racks, while the duplex configuration supports paired transmit/receive channels in a compact form factor. The cable's design prioritizes predictable optical characteristics and compatibility with standard fiber patch panels and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnection of single-mode transceivers and switches in data centers
• Patch panel to equipment links in telecom and networking racks
• Fiber backbone connections between network distribution points
• Laboratory and testbench setups requiring SC-to-ST connectivity

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Configuration: duplex (paired fibers)
• Connector types: SC (one end) and ST (other end)
• Length: 2.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Typical use: patch cable for optical links

How to use

Before connecting, verify fiber end-face cleanliness and inspect connectors for contamination or damage. Align the SC connector with the SC adapter and push until it clicks; insert the ST connector into the ST adapter and secure with the bayonet twist-lock action. Ensure transmit and receive channels are matched between devices according to their ports. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. When removing the cable, pull from the connector body rather than the cable jacket to prevent mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable following standard fiber optic practices: keep dust caps on unused connectors, use a fiber cleaning tool before mating, maintain bend radii above manufacturer minimums, and route the cable in dedicated fiber management trays to reduce stress and preserve optical performance.
