Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm ST/ST yellow 30.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OS2 9/125 µm with ST/ST connectors and a 30.0 m length is a single‑mode fiber optic patch cord designed for backbone and long‑distance network links. Its 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio corresponds to OS2 single‑mode specifications, enabling low attenuation and stable single‑mode transmission. The yellow jacket provides standard color coding for single‑mode links, allowing straightforward identification and tidy cable management in racks and distribution panels.

Advantages

This duplex cable offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across long runs. The ST/ST connectors provide secure bayonet coupling and are compatible with a wide range of networking equipment and patch panels. The 30.0 m length reduces the need for intermediate splicing or additional patching, while the standardized fiber geometry (9/125 µm) supports high‑speed, long‑reach applications with minimal signal degradation.

Suitable for

• Backbone connections between communication cabinets and equipment rooms
• Long‑distance single‑mode links in campus or data center environments
• Interconnections between switches, routers, and optical transceivers using ST ports
• Structured cabling installations requiring color‑coded single‑mode patching

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single‑mode, OS2 (9/125 µm)
• Connector type: ST on both ends (duplex)
• Configuration: duplex patch cable (two fibers)
• Length: 30.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (single‑mode identification)
• Typical use: indoor patching and horizontal/backbone runs

How to use

Install the Ekivalan LWL duplex patch cable by aligning the ST connectors with the corresponding ST ports on your devices or patch panels, then engage the bayonet coupling until it locks. Maintain gentle bends and avoid tight radii to prevent increased attenuation; follow the minimum bend radius recommended for 9/125 µm fiber. Route the cable along cable trays or within cable management channels to minimize stress on connectors and jacket, and label both ends when integrating into structured cabling schemes.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors before connection to remove dust and contaminants; use an optical connector cleaner if necessary. Store and handle the cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks, and perform power/attenuation tests after installation to verify link performance. For long runs and high‑precision links, consider testing with an optical power meter or OTDR to ensure loss values meet system requirements.
