Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC yellow 3.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC APC/LC yellow 3.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-speed, low-loss data transmission in telecommunications and data center environments. The cable uses OS2 single-mode fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding structure and LC APC connectors on both ends to provide stable connections with reduced back reflection. Its 3.0 m length and yellow jacket make it suitable for organized horizontal and inter-rack cabling where single-mode links are required.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable delivers low attenuation and stable optical performance thanks to OS2 fiber geometry and APC angled physical contact connectors that minimize return loss. The LC form factor provides a compact footprint for high-density panels and transceivers. The yellow outer jacket supports quick visual identification of single-mode links in mixed-cable installations. The combination of 9/125 µm fiber and LC APC terminations makes the cable suitable for long-reach and high-speed links while maintaining consistent insertion loss characteristics.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnecting single-mode equipment in data centers and server rooms
• Patch connections between optical distribution frames and switches
• Telecommunications backbone and long-distance links
• Connections to LC APC transceivers and high-density patch panels

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC APC to LC (duplex)
• Length: 3.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow
• Configuration: duplex patch cable
• Typical use: single-mode optical networking

How to use

Inspect both LC APC connectors and the cable jacket for visible damage before deployment. Orient the connectors so the keyed housings align with the adapter and insert gently until a positive click is felt. Use both fibers in the duplex assembly to maintain correct transmit/receive pairing; follow the equipment manufacturer’s port labeling for correct polarity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors and preserve optical performance.

Usage recommendations

For best optical performance, avoid bending the cable below the specified minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and use LC APC-compatible adapters and transceivers. Periodic inspection and cleaning of endfaces will reduce insertion loss and return loss degradation over time.
