Fibre optic patch cable EQUIP E2000/APC to LC/APC 5.00 m SM Duplex OS2 Yellow

Singlemode duplex fibre optic patch cable EQUIP E2000/APC to LC/APC, 5.00 m, OS2 in yellow jacket, designed for precise and low‑loss optical connections. This cable provides an E2000/APC connector on one end and an LC/APC duplex connector on the other, enabling secure mating with equipment and patch panels that require angled physical contact endfaces. The OS2 singlemode fibre and quality polishing ensure predictable performance in long‑distance and high‑bandwidth applications, while the duplex construction supports paired transmit/receive channels in a compact form factor.

Advantages

The cable delivers low insertion loss and excellent return loss due to APC endface geometry, ensuring stable signal transmission. Compact LC/APC duplex connectors reduce space requirements in high‑density panels and enclosures, while the robust E2000/APC connector provides reliable mechanical protection and easy handling. The yellow jacket follows industry colour coding for singlemode fibre, aiding quick identification during installation and maintenance. Overall construction supports both indoor structured cabling and protected outdoor routing where singlemode links are required.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between telecom and datacom equipment with E2000/APC and LC/APC interfaces
• Patch panels, optical distribution frames and network enclosures
• High‑density rack installations requiring duplex singlemode links
• Long‑reach singlemode links and transmission systems using OS2 fibre
• Laboratory testing and verification of APC‑terminated optical ports

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness and remove dust or contaminants before mating. Route the 5.00 m patch cable along cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and excessive tensile load to maintain the minimum bend radius of the fibre. Plug the E2000/APC connector into the corresponding E2000/APC port and the LC/APC duplex into the LC/APC receptacle, ensuring correct orientation and secure seating. Verify link performance using appropriate optical test equipment and follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for connector mating cycles and handling.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean APC endfaces with recommended fibre cleaning tools prior to connection, avoid sharp bends or compression of the cable, and store unused connectors with protective caps. Use this OS2 singlemode duplex cable in matched APC systems to maintain low back‑reflection and reliable long‑term operation.
