InLine LC/SC OS2 9/125µm Duplex Fiber Optic Cable 5m

The InLine LC/SC OS2 9/125µm Duplex Fiber Optic Cable 5m is designed for professional telecommunications and high-speed data center environments, providing dependable network connections. This single-mode optical fiber cable features a 9/125µm core diameter and supports full duplex operation, making it suitable for long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission where signal integrity is critical. With its standardized connectors and halogen-free construction, it integrates smoothly into existing network infrastructures.

Advantages

The InLine fiber optic cable utilizes OS2 single-mode technology, which allows for minimal signal attenuation over extended distances, making it ideal for high-capacity backbone networks. The inclusion of low smoke zero halogen jacket material enhances safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic emissions during combustion. Precision-engineered LC and SC connectors ensure secure mating and low insertion loss, while the included test report provides quality assurance for every cable.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in enterprise environments
• Data center interconnections requiring single-mode fiber performance
• Telecommunication infrastructure and long-range communication links
• Professional local area network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for short-range multimedia setups that require multi-mode fiber types or standard copper Ethernet connections. It may also be incompatible with network equipment that does not feature LC or SC optical ports.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Fiber optic type: Single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125µm
• Connector 1: 2x LC male
• Connector 2: 2x SC male
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Operation mode: Full duplex
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Carefully remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and SC connectors before installation. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your network device and gently push until it clicks into place. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius and avoid applying excessive pulling tension during routing to maintain optimal optical performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses LC and SC optical interfaces
• Confirm that the 5-meter length is sufficient for your specific routing distance
• Check whether your network architecture requires single-mode OS2 cabling rather than multi-mode

Usage recommendations

Route the fiber optic cable away from heavy foot traffic, sharp edges, and excessive heat sources. Always keep dust caps on connectors when the cable is not installed to prevent contamination of the optical end-faces.
