Fibre optic cable Helos 1m OS2 LC/ST

The Helos 1m OS2 LC/ST fibre optic cable is a single-mode patch cable designed for high-speed, low-loss data transmission over short to medium distances. With a 9 µm core diameter and OS2 optical class, the cable provides stable single-mode performance suitable for full duplex communication between network devices. The cable uses an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, offering compatibility with equipment that requires these common terminations. Its yellow jacket allows quick visual identification in structured cabling environments and rack installations.

Advantages

This OS2 single-mode fibre cable delivers low attenuation and consistent signal integrity for optical links. The LC/ST connector pairing enables flexible device connectivity without adapters when matching ports are available. The 1 m length is convenient for patching between adjacent panels, switches, transceivers and media converters while reducing excess cable slack. The cable jacket and connector construction are optimized for regular handling in data centre and telecommunications spaces.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and transceivers in racks
• Connections in data centres and server rooms requiring single-mode links
• Short-distance campus backbone or inter-room links where OS2 optics are specified
• Field installations where LC to ST connector transition is needed

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: ST
• Length: 1 m
• Color: yellow
• Mode: full duplex (duplex operation with two fibres)

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring minimal bending and avoiding sharp kinks; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the ST connector into the ST port until each connector latches or seats securely. Verify optical link performance with appropriate testing equipment such as an optical power meter or light source to confirm insertion loss and continuity. When coiling any excess, use loose loops and avoid tight wraps that stress the fibre.

Usage recommendations

Store and install the fibre cable in dry, dust-free environments. Clean connector end-faces with approved fibre cleaning tools before connection to reduce signal loss. Use appropriate strain relief and cable management to protect connectors and maintain consistent link quality.
