Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 9/125µm OS2 20m InLine 88656B

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 9/125µm OS2 20m is a single-mode duplex fiber patch cable engineered for long-distance, low-loss optical connections. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, 9/125 µm core/cladding dimensions and OS2 grading for optimized performance in single-mode networks. The 20-meter length provides extended reach for trunking, cross-connection and inter-rack links while maintaining stable data transmission for telecom, data center and enterprise installations.

Advantages

This fiber cable offers low attenuation and high return loss characteristics consistent with OS2 single-mode fiber, enabling efficient long-distance signal propagation. The duplex configuration supports full-duplex communication and straightforward fiber pair management. Precision-terminated LC and SC connectors ensure reliable mating, low insertion loss and repeatable optical performance. The 9/125 µm core standardizes compatibility with single-mode transceivers and equipment used in modern networking environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centers
• Long-distance backbone links in campus and enterprise networks
• Telecom trunking and service provider fiber runs
• Optical patch panels and cross-connect systems

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (9/125 µm)
• OS grading: OS2 (optimized for single-mode, low-loss long distance)
• Connector A: LC duplex
• Connector B: SC duplex
• Configuration: duplex (two fibers)
• Cable length: 20 m
• Typical applications: telecom, data center, enterprise networks

How to use

Route the cable avoiding tight bends and physical stress to maintain optical performance. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Secure the cable along trays or within patch panels to prevent strain on connector interfaces. For best results, verify link continuity and measure insertion loss after installation using appropriate fiber test equipment.

Usage recommendations

Handle the fiber ends with care and keep protective dust caps on connectors when not in use. Observe minimum bend radius specifications, avoid compressive loads on the cable, and perform end-face inspection and cleaning before mating to reduce insertion loss and back reflections.
