Fibre optic cable Helos 7.5m OS2 LC/SC

The Helos 7.5m OS2 LC/SC fibre optic cable is a single-mode patch cable designed for reliable long-distance data transmission. With a 7.5 meter length and a 9 µm core diameter, this OS2-rated cable supports full duplex communication and is suitable for high-speed networks where low attenuation and stable signal integrity are required. The cable terminates with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other to provide compatibility with a variety of network devices and fiber panels.

Advantages

This single-mode OS2 cable delivers low insertion loss and low back reflection appropriate for long-reach links. The 9 µm core size matches standard single-mode fiber specifications, helping to maintain signal quality over extended distances. Having LC and SC connectors on opposite ends offers flexibility when connecting equipment with different connector types, reducing the need for adapters. The 7.5 m length provides sufficient reach for many rack-to-rack or room-to-room installations while keeping excess cable manageable.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network equipment in data centres and communication rooms
• Connecting optical transceivers to patch panels or switches
• Long-distance single-mode links within buildings or between campus buildings
• Fiber backbone segments that require LC-to-SC termination

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector A: LC (single-mode)
• Connector B: SC (single-mode)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical use: Patch cable for high-speed optical transmission

How to use

Inspect both connectors and port ferrules for dust or damage before installation. Clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Align the LC connector with the device's LC port and insert until it clicks; align the SC connector and push into the corresponding SC socket until it seats securely. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, crushing, or excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber. Verify link operation with connected equipment and, where available, use an optical power meter or transceiver diagnostics to confirm acceptable attenuation and signal levels.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely and protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and follow standard fiber handling procedures to preserve connector end-face quality and ensure reliable network performance.
