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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm LC/LC orange 0.5 m is a short multimode fiber patch cord designed for connecting optical equipment within racks and network panels. With LC connectors on both ends and OM2-grade 50/125 µm fiber, the cable supports reliable short-reach data transmission and easy integration into existing fiber installations. The orange jacket provides visual differentiation for multimode cabling in structured network environments.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex patch cable offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance typical of OM2 multimode fiber, making it suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbps and certain short-range 10 GbE links where OM2 is supported. The compact LC duplex connectors save panel space and allow high-density deployment. A 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in patch fields and reduces signal attenuation caused by unnecessary cable length.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between fiber patch panels and network switches within racks
• Short-distance connections in data centers and server rooms
• Fiber optic terminations where OM2 multimode fiber is specified
• Environments requiring color-coded cabling for easy identification

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Orange (multimode identification)
• Cable format: Duplex patch cord

How to use

Insert the LC connectors into compatible LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches, aligning the keyed connector to the port to ensure a secure fit. Use the 0.5 m length to create a short, direct link between adjacent equipment or panel ports; avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. When disconnecting, pull the connector body rather than the cable jacket to avoid strain on the fiber.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connectors clean and protected with dust caps when not in use, and use a fiber inspection tool or cleaning kit to remove dust and oils before mating. Do not exceed recommended bend radii, avoid tensile stress, and route the cable alongside other patch cords without tight bundling to maintain signal integrity.
