Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm LC/SC orange 7.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm LC/SC orange 7.0 m is a multimode fiber patch lead designed for short- to medium-distance network links. It uses OM2 grade 50/125 µm glass fiber and LC-to-SC terminations in a duplex configuration to support high-speed data transmission with low insertion loss. The 7.0 m length and bright orange jacket make route identification and organization in racks and cabling trays straightforward while maintaining optical performance for enterprise and telecom environments.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable offers stable multimode transmission with low attenuation and consistent connector performance. The LC and SC connectors provide reliable mating in equipment with mixed interface ports, and the duplex format maintains correct polarity for duplex communication. The orange jacket conforms with common multimode fiber color coding, aiding quick identification during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and interconnect links
• Telecommunications equipment interconnection
• Campus and building backbone runs
• Patch panels, switches and transceivers with LC or SC ports

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector types: LC (one end) to SC (other end), duplex
• Length: 7.0 meters
• Jacket color: Orange (multimode standard)
• Polarity: Duplex pair (A/B)
• Typical application range: Short to medium distance multimode links

How to use

Unpack the cable and visually inspect both connectors for endface cleanliness before installation. Ensure correct polarity by aligning the duplex keying or using the existing polarity scheme in the patch panel. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until secure. Route the cable along cable management channels, avoiding tight bends and compressive loads; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber to prevent increased loss. If necessary, clean the connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools and perform a basic continuity check or use an optical tester to confirm link performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM2 duplex patch cable in a dry, dust-free environment. Avoid excessive bending, pulling or crushing. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated and clean endfaces before final connection. For critical links, verify insertion loss and return loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.
