InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 7.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 7.5m is a high-performance optical patch cable designed for efficient and reliable data transmission in modern networks. Featuring a single-mode OS2 fibre type with a 9/125µm core diameter and a length of 7.5 meters, this cable ensures minimal signal loss over extended distances. It is equipped with standard LC male connectors on both ends, making it suitable for direct connection between compatible network hardware such as switches, routers, and transceivers. Built with a halogen-free LSZH jacket, the cable provides added safety by reducing smoke and toxic emissions in the event of fire, while its full duplex capability allows simultaneous two-way data communication.

Advantages

This optical duplex cable offers exceptional signal integrity and low attenuation, which are essential for maintaining stable high-speed connections in demanding environments. The inclusion of a halogen-free LSZH outer jacket ensures compliance with stringent safety standards regarding smoke emission and flame retardancy. Each cable is supplied with an individual test report, verifying its quality and performance prior to use. The 7.5-meter length provides generous reach for routing between racks or across rooms without excessive slack, and the durable LC connectors ensure secure and repeatable mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in enterprise environments
• Data center structured cabling installations
• Telecommunications networks requiring single-mode OS2 performance
• High-speed fiber optic patch connections over a 7.5-meter distance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for equipment that requires multi-mode fiber types, as it is strictly designed for single-mode OS2 systems. Additionally, devices that utilize different connector types, such as SC or ST, will require appropriate adapters or alternative cables since this model features dual LC plugs exclusively.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Fibre optic type: Single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector 1: 2x LC Male
• Connector 2: 2x LC Male
• Duplex type: Full duplex
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Cable color: Yellow

How to use

Before installation, inspect the LC connectors for any dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from the connectors. Align the LC plug with the port on your network device, such as a transceiver or patch panel, and push gently until a click is heard, indicating that the latch has engaged securely. Route the cable carefully along designated cable management pathways, avoiding sharp bends or excessive pulling tension that could damage the internal glass fibers. To disconnect, press the latch on the LC connector and pull straight out from the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware is compatible with single-mode OS2 9/125µm fiber cables
• Confirm that both connected devices utilize LC ports
• Measure the required distance to ensure the 7.5-meter length is adequate for your routing path

Handle the fiber optic cable with care during installation, avoiding sharp bends below the minimum bend radius, and always keep protective caps on the connectors when the cable is not connected to prevent contamination.
