Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/ST yellow 7.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm LC/ST yellow 7.0 m is a single-mode duplex fiber patch cord designed for optical network links that require low attenuation and high signal integrity. It uses 9/125 µm single-mode fiber with LC connector on one end and ST connector on the other, assembled as a duplex pair in a yellow outer jacket for easy identification and routing in patch panels and cable runs. The 7.0 m length provides moderate reach between equipment in comms rooms, racks, or campus installations.

Advantages

The cable combines single-mode OS2 fiber performance with standard LC and ST connector terminations to deliver low insertion loss and high return loss suitable for long-distance and high-bandwidth applications. The duplex configuration ensures correct transmit/receive pairing, while the yellow jacket improves visual organization and reduces installation errors. The use of 9/125 µm fiber supports single-mode transmission characteristics, minimizing modal dispersion and enabling reliable high-speed data transmission.

Suitable for

• Data center and server-to-switch fiber links
• Telecommunications backbone and long-reach connections
• Patch panel and rack-to-rack interconnects
• Campus and building fiber distribution
• Network equipment testing and temporary fiber patching

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: ST
• Length: 7.0 m
• Jacket color: Yellow (industry standard for single-mode)
• Typical use: Optical patching between fiber ports and panels

How to use

Identify the transmit and receive ports on both devices and connect the LC end to the corresponding LC port and the ST end to the ST port, ensuring correct orientation of the duplex pair. Route the cable along cable management trays or through patch panels to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. Secure the cable gently with Velcro ties or cable management clips; avoid sharp kinks and excessive tensile load during installation and operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, verify connector cleanliness before mating and use a fiber inspection scope or lint-free wipes with approved cleaning fluid when required. Keep cable bend radius above the recommended minimum and avoid pulling the cable by the connectors. Use color-coded jackets to maintain consistent documentation and labeling in the network inventory.
