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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC in yellow, 0.5 m, is a single-mode fiber optic duplex cable designed for point-to-point connections in optical networks. Featuring 9/125 µm core/cladding dimensions and angled-polished LC APC connectors on both ends, this patch cable delivers low back reflection and stable single-mode transmission. The 0.5 m length makes it suitable for short connections in patch panels, distribution frames, or between active equipment and transceivers while preserving signal integrity.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable uses OS2 single-mode fiber with 9/125 µm geometry and LC APC connectors to minimise insertion loss and return loss, supporting high-speed and long-reach links. The LC APC/LC APC configuration provides low reflectance for systems sensitive to back reflections such as DWDM and high-power optics. Its compact duplex construction and colour-coded jacket make routing and identification easier in dense patching environments.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections in telecom and data centre patch panels
• Connections between transceivers, switches and optical equipment
• High-density fibre enclosures and distribution frames
• Environments requiring low back reflection, such as DWDM or analog optical links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC APC to LC APC, angled-polished duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Yellow jacket for single-mode identification
• Cable configuration: Duplex, tight-buffered construction

How to use

Install the patch cable by aligning the LC APC connectors with the corresponding LC APC ports on patch panels, transceivers or optical equipment, ensuring the connectors click securely into place. Avoid excessive bending radii; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. For best performance, keep connector endfaces clean and inspect with a fibre inspection tool before connecting. When removing the cable, pull on the connector housing rather than the jacket to prevent stress on the fibre.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect connector ferrules with dust caps when not in use, and avoid tight loops or kinks. Use LC APC to LC APC duplex cables for applications where low return loss is required. Regularly inspect and, if needed, clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools to maintain optimal signal performance.
