Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC Yellow 20.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC Yellow 20.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for reliable long-distance and high-speed data transmission. With a 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter and APC-angled LC connectors on both ends, this 20.0 meter cable is intended for fiber backbone links, patch panels and inter-equipment connections where low insertion loss and back-reflection control are important. The yellow jacket provides standard color coding for easy identification in racks and cabling infrastructure.

Advantages

The cable's 9/125 µm single-mode construction minimizes attenuation over long distances and supports high-bandwidth signals. LC APC connectors reduce return loss thanks to the angled physical contact, improving signal integrity in sensitive telecom and data center environments. Duplex construction allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a compact, paired form factor. The 20.0 m length covers medium-range runs between racks or rooms without additional splicing.

Suitable for

• Fiber backbone connections in data centers and telecommunication rooms
• Patch panel to network equipment links (switches, routers, OLTs)
• Inter-room or inter-rack fiber runs requiring single-mode performance
• Environments where low return loss and stable signal quality are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC APC to LC APC duplex
• Cable length: 20.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (standard single-mode identification)
• Configuration: duplex (paired fiber)

How to use

Route the duplex patch cable between the two connection points, ensuring bend radius recommendations are observed to prevent microbending losses. Insert LC APC connectors into compatible LC APC adapters or device ports, aligning the keyed connector to the port to ensure correct orientation. Avoid touching or contaminating connector endfaces; if necessary, clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Secure the cable along trays or vertical managers to reduce strain on connectors and maintain organized routing.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment and keep connector endfaces covered when not in use. Observe minimum bend radius and avoid tight bends or kinks. For installation in active networks, verify optical loss and return loss with a suitable test instrument after connection to ensure link performance meets system requirements.
