Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC yellow 7.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC in yellow, 7.0 m, is a single-mode fiber patch cord designed for long-distance optical connections. It uses a 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter to support low-attenuation transmission and LC APC connectors on both ends for improved return loss. The bright yellow jacket aids rapid identification in structured cabling and data center environments while the duplex configuration provides two parallel fibers for bi-directional communication.

Advantages

This OS2 single-mode patch cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss performance thanks to LC APC connector geometry and a 9/125 µm fiber profile. The duplex assembly reduces installation complexity where paired transmit and receive channels are required. The 7.0 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and horizontal runs, and the yellow sheath provides visual differentiation to minimize connection errors.

Suitable for

• Long-distance single-mode links in telecom and campus backbones
• Data center uplinks and inter-rack optical connections
• FTTx distribution and optical network termination panels
• High-speed transmission systems requiring low return loss

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC APC to LC APC, duplex
• Length: 7.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow
• Polish: angled physical contact (APC)

How to use

Determine the required fiber ports and ensure both ends of the LC APC connectors match the optical equipment port orientation. Gently remove protective caps before insertion and avoid touching connector endfaces. Insert each LC APC connector into the corresponding adapter until it seats securely; the angled polish requires proper seating to achieve optimal return loss. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces with a fiber scope before final connection and use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Avoid tight bundling or kinking; secure the cable with Velcro straps instead of metal ties. For critical or long-term installations, test insertion loss and return loss after installation to verify link performance.
