Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC yellow 15.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC in yellow, 15.0 m, is a single-mode fiber patch cable designed for long-distance, low-loss optical connections. With a 9/125 µm glass core it supports single-mode transmission and LC APC connectors at both ends that reduce back reflection and ensure stable signal integrity. The 15.0 m length and yellow jacket make this cable suitable for organized fiber installations in data centers, server rooms and telecommunication racks.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable uses OS2 single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core that provides low attenuation over long runs. LC APC connectors deliver improved return loss compared with flat connectors, helping to maintain optical signal quality. The duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels in one compact assembly. The yellow outer jacket offers standard visual identification for single-mode fibers and assists with cable management and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Interlinking switches and optical transceivers in data centers
• Fiber patch panels and distribution frames in telecom rooms
• Long-reach single-mode connections between network equipment
• Laboratory and test setups requiring LC APC terminations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC APC to LC APC duplex
• Length: 15.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers)
• Typical use: patching and interconnects for long-distance single-mode links

How to use

Route the cable between patch panels, transceivers or equipment ports ensuring gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks that can increase attenuation. Align LC APC connectors with corresponding APC ports and insert until the latch clicks; do not force the connector at an angle. Maintain clean connector endfaces by inspecting and, if necessary, cleaning with approved fiber cleaning tools before connection to minimize loss and reflection. Secure the cable along trays or within cable management panels to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable according to recommended bend radius limits and avoid tensile stress beyond manufacturer guidelines. Use LC APC-to-LC APC only with matching APC ports to preserve return loss performance. Periodically inspect and clean connectors when relocating or troubleshooting to ensure consistent low-loss optical performance.
