Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC Yellow 30.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC APC in yellow, length 30.0 m, is a single-mode multimode-compatible optical patch cord designed for long-distance, low-loss fiber connections. Constructed with 9/125 µm single-mode glass fiber and factory-terminated LC APC connectors on both ends, the cable is intended for reliable transmission in telecom, data center and enterprise network environments where minimal back reflection and consistent insertion loss are required.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable uses OS2 single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding profile to provide low attenuation over long distances. The angled LC APC connectors reduce return loss and are suitable for applications sensitive to back-reflection. The 30.0 m length allows flexible routing across rooms or racks while the yellow jacket provides quick visual identification for single-mode links. Factory-polished terminations ensure repeatable optical performance and simplified installation.

Suitable for

• Long-haul single-mode optical links in telecom and carrier networks
• Inter-rack and inter-room connections in data centers and server rooms
• FTTx distribution and backbone links requiring low insertion and return loss
• Fiber optic test setups and temporary patching where LC APC interfaces are used

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC APC to LC APC, duplex
• Cable length: 30.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Polish: angled physical contact for reduced return loss
• Construction: factory-terminated, duplex fiber patch cord

How to use

Route the cable along planned pathways, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling forces that could damage the fiber. Connect the LC APC duplex connectors into matching LC APC ports on transceivers, patch panels or equipment ports; ensure the keyed connector orientation aligns with the port. Verify link continuity and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after installation. When coiling the cable for storage, follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent microbending losses.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or connector body and keep protective caps on unused ends to avoid contamination. Clean connector endfaces before mating and perform optical loss and return loss tests where precise performance is required. Avoid routing the cable near high-voltage sources or heavy mechanical stress to maintain signal integrity and service life.
