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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/LC yellow 3.0 m is a single-mode optical fiber patch cord engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. The 9/125 µm core and OS2 specification are optimized for long-distance signal propagation with low attenuation. Fitted with LC connectors on both ends and enclosed in a yellow outer jacket, the 3.0 m duplex cable is suitable for connecting optical network equipment where compact LC terminations and a managed color code are required.

Advantages

This duplex fiber patch cable offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance thanks to the 9/125 µm single-mode fiber and OS2 grade. LC/LC terminations provide a space-saving connector profile and stable mating with transceivers and patch panels. The yellow jacket follows common color conventions for single-mode cabling, simplifying identification in multi-core installations. The 3.0 m length balances reach and cable management within racks, closets, and equipment rooms.

Suitable for

• Connecting single-mode transceivers, switches, and optical network equipment
• Patch panel to active equipment links in data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunication and ISP fiber terminations
• LAN backbone segments and point-to-point fiber links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode standard)
• Cable length: 3.0 m
• Configuration: duplex patch cord

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the two devices ensuring minimal bending and avoiding sharp kinks; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Remove protective caps from the LC connectors immediately before insertion to keep end faces clean. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until the latch engages. For duplex links, maintain correct polarity by matching transmit and receive pairs as required by the connected equipment. When disconnecting, press the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Store unused connectors with their dust caps and handle the cable by the jacket rather than stressing the connector ferrules. For optimal link quality, verify end-face cleanliness with an inspection scope and perform attenuation testing after installation. Use cable management such as trays or ties to prevent excessive bend and mechanical strain, and follow local cabling standards for labeling and routing.
