InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 25m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 25m is a single-mode duplex fiber patch cable designed for reliable, long-distance data transmission in structured cabling and network environments. With LC connectors on both ends and a 9/125 µm core/cladding geometry, this OS2-rated cable supports high-speed links and low attenuation across long runs. The 25 meter length provides flexibility for connecting telecommunications equipment, switches, routers, media converters, and optical transceivers in server rooms, data centres, and campus networks.

Advantages

This duplex LC/LC single-mode cable offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance thanks to the 9/125 µm fiber geometry and OS2 specification. The LC connectors provide a compact footprint and reliable mating for modern networking equipment. Full duplex capability ensures simultaneous bidirectional communication over the paired fibers, while the 25 m length reduces the need for intermediate patch panels in many installations. The cable construction is suitable for indoor use in rack and conduit environments and is compatible with standard LC ports and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centres and server rooms
• Patch connections in telecommunications and structured cabling systems
• Campus backbone and long-distance indoor fibre runs
• Linking media converters and active network equipment requiring single-mode fibre

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (9/125 µm)
• OS specification: OS2 single-mode
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Cable length: 25 meters
• Polarity: duplex (two fibers for bidirectional transmission)
• Typical attenuation: low loss single-mode performance suitable for long runs
• Application environment: indoor networking, rack and conduit installations

How to use

Install the InLine LC/LC duplex cable by aligning and gently inserting each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on your networking equipment or patch panel until it clicks into place. Observe connector keying and polarity to ensure transmit and receive fibers are correctly paired. Route the cable through racks or conduits with gentle bends only, avoiding sharp kinks and mechanical stress that could increase attenuation. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull straight back on the connector body to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain minimum bend radii as specified by industry practice for 9/125 µm single-mode cables, keep connectors clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools, and verify link performance with an optical power meter or fibre tester after installation. Use the cable in indoor environments and protect it from excessive tension, moisture and contaminants to preserve long-term optical characteristics.
