Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm LC/SC orange 0.5 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm LC/SC orange 0.5 m is a duplex multimode fiber patch cord designed for short-range high-speed data links. It uses 50/125 µm OM2 graded-index multimode fiber and features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, in a 0.5 metre length. The orange jacket follows common color coding for multimode fiber, allowing quick visual identification in patch panels and network cabinets. The cable is intended for indoor structured cabling and connecting active equipment in data centers, telecom rooms and communication cabinets.

Advantages

This OM2 duplex cable provides low insertion loss and controlled back reflection due to factory-terminated LC and SC connectors. The 50/125 µm fiber core supports reliable multimode transmission for short-range applications while the duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The compact LC connector helps save panel space, and the SC connector offers a push-pull locking design for secure mating. The orange outer jacket improves visibility in dense cable installations and the short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack and clutter.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, servers and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Short-distance multimode links in campus networks and telecom closets
• Linking optical transceivers with LC and SC interfaces
• Point-to-point connections inside equipment racks where minimal cable length is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2, 50/125 µm graded-index
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Orange (multimode standard)
• Typical use: Short-range multimode data transmission

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before insertion to minimise insertion loss and potential damage. Align and gently insert the LC connector into the LC adapter or port and the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until a secure connection is achieved. Avoid sharp bends; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to preserve optical performance. Use cable management panels or ties to route the 0.5 m patch cord neatly and prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable in a clean environment and use appropriate cleaning tools for LC and SC ferrules. For optimal performance in short-range multimode networks, verify link loss with appropriate test equipment after installation and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii or subjecting the cable to mechanical stress.
