Fibre optic cable LANBERG FO-SASA-SD11-0020-YE, 2 m, G.657.A1, SC–SC, 125 µm, full duplex, yellow

LANBERG FO-SASA-SD11-0020-YE is a 2 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable with SC connectors on both ends and APC polishing. The cable uses G.657.A1 fibre with a 9/125 µm core/cladding construction in a duplex format and a 3.0 mm LSZH jacket. It is designed for full-duplex data transmission and offers low bending sensitivity, low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable links in data centres, telecom racks and structured cabling in residential or commercial installations.

Advantages

This single-mode patch cable features G.657.A1 fibre that provides improved tolerance to tight bends and reduced bending loss compared with older SM types. SC connectors with APC polishing ensure stable optical mating with low back-reflection, while the duplex construction supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire and the compact 3.0 mm diameter keeps routing and management simple.

Suitable for

• Fibre patching between switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centres and telecom racks
• Connections in premises cabling where low-bend-loss single-mode fibre is required
• Optical links in home or office networks using SC interfaces
• Short-distance interconnects requiring full-duplex single-mode transmission

How to use

Prepare equipment by powering down transceivers if required and clean connector end-faces before mating. Align the SC connectors and insert until the latch engages; the APC polish requires careful axial alignment to maintain low return loss. Use the duplex orientation to match transmit and receive ports on network devices. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends below the specified 10 mm minimum bend radius and secure with appropriate cable management to prevent stress on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect and clean connector end-faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to preserve low insertion and return loss. Avoid repeated tight bends and excessive pulling force; follow bend radius and operating temperature limits. Use in environments where LSZH jacket properties are preferred for safety in confined spaces.
