Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/LC Yellow 0.5 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/LC Yellow 0.5 m is a single-mode duplex fiber patch cord designed for short interconnects in fiber optic networks. It uses OS2-grade 9/125 µm glass fiber and LC connectors on both ends in a duplex LC/LC configuration. The 0.5 m length and yellow jacket make it suitable for organized cable runs in racks, panels and equipment where a short, low-loss connection between ports is required.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable provides low attenuation and stable single-mode transmission characteristics suited to long-reach and short-distance trunking within a data center or telecom environment. The LC/LC connector pair offers a compact footprint for high-density panels and SFP/SFP+ transceiver ports. The color-coded yellow outer jacket simplifies visual identification and helps maintain orderly cable management in equipment cabinets.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode transceivers (SFP, SFP+, XFP) to patch panels
• Short patching between rack-mounted network equipment
• Fiber optic panel-to-equipment interconnects in data centers
• Telecommunications and central office cross-connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: yellow
• Configuration: duplex, pre-terminated patch cord
• Typical application: single-mode data transmission, low insertion loss

How to use

Route the patch cable from the source port to the destination port, taking care to avoid tight bends and sharp edges that could stress the fiber. Insert each LC connector until the latch clicks into place and verify a secure physical connection. For duplex links, ensure correct polarity by matching transmit to receive ports according to your equipment's labeling. After installation, perform a basic continuity or optical loss test to confirm correct connection and acceptable attenuation.

Usage recommendations

Handle the fiber ends with care, keep protective dust caps on connectors until installation, and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the cable supplier. Store unused cords coiled loosely and avoid pulling on the fiber itself; use the cable jacket for handling. Regularly inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to ensure reliable performance.
