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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm LC/ST orange 0.5 m is a short multimode fiber patch cord designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and network equipment interconnections. With OM2 grade 50/125 µm fiber and a duplex configuration terminated with LC and ST connectors, this 0.5 m cable provides a compact link between devices in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets and other network environments where multimode fiber is used. The bright orange jacket simplifies identification and organization within cable bundles and patch panels.

Advantages

The OM2 50/125 µm fiber construction supports multimode optical transmission with controlled modal bandwidth for common LAN and enterprise applications. Duplex termination with LC and ST connectors offers compatibility with equipment that uses these connector types, reducing the need for adaptors. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess slack in tight rack environments and helps maintain clean cable management. The orange outer jacket provides visual differentiation for multimode links and aids technicians during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Short multimode links within telecom and equipment racks
• Testing and temporary connections during network setup and maintenance
• Environments where clear color-coded cabling is required for identification and segregation

How to use

Verify that both connected devices support multimode fiber and that the LC and ST connector types match the corresponding ports or transceivers. Align and insert the LC connector into the LC adapter or port until it clicks, and insert the ST connector into the ST receptacle, ensuring the bayonet coupling is engaged. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. For duplex operation, confirm correct polarity and pair orientation according to your network equipment requirements.

Usage recommendations

Handle fiber connectors with clean hands and keep protective dust caps in place until final connection. Use a fiber inspection scope or cleaning tools to remove dust and contamination from connector endfaces before insertion. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, and excessive pulling; secure the cable in trays or with ties without compressing the jacket. For critical links, perform optical loss testing after installation to confirm link performance.
