Fiber patch cable LOGILINK FPSLC30 — 2× LC-Simplex, OS2 G.657.A2 singlemode, 30 m, yellow

LOGILINK FPSLC30 is a 30-meter singlemode fiber patch cable with two LC-Simplex connectors and OS2 specification using G.657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber. The yellow 30 m cable is intended for optical interconnects between patch panels, distribution frames and active equipment where low-loss singlemode transmission and improved bending performance are required. The LC-Simplex to LC-Simplex connector pair provides compact duplex-ready terminations suitable for modern fibre installations.

Advantages

The cable combines OS2 singlemode performance with G.657.A2 fiber that tolerates tighter bend radii compared to standard singlemode fibres, reducing signal loss in confined routing environments. With LC-Simplex connectors on both ends, the design supports reliable mechanical mating and compatibility with LC ports on switches, transceivers and patch panels. The yellow jacket offers industry-standard colour coding for singlemode links, which simplifies identification in multi-fibre bundles and racks.

Suitable for

• Patch panel to patch panel connections in telecommunications rooms
• Linking optical transceivers and switches to distribution frames
• Data centre horizontal and equipment interconnects where singlemode transmission is required
• Installations with limited cable bend space thanks to bend-insensitive G.657.A2 fibre

When it may not be suitable

This singlemode OS2 cable is not suitable for multimode networks that require OM3/OM4 fibres and different connector performance. It is not intended as an outdoor trunk cable or for direct burial without additional protective armouring or conduit. For applications requiring custom connector types, alternative connector endfaces or pre-terminated multi-fibre assemblies, this fixed LC‑Simplex to LC‑Simplex patch lead may be inappropriate.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: singlemode, bend-insensitive G.657.A2
• Specification: OS2 singlemode
• Connector type: 2 × LC-Simplex (LC to LC)
• Length: 30 m
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Typical use: indoor patching and equipment links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before connection and clean if necessary with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool to ensure low insertion loss. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and maintain a bend radius consistent with G.657.A2 recommendations; secure the cable with cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors. Plug the LC connectors into matching LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or equipment until they latch; ensure correct polarity when connecting duplex links. Test the link with appropriate optical test equipment after installation to verify loss and continuity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that singlemode OS2 fibre and LC connectors match the equipment and transceivers in your network
• Ensure 30 m length is appropriate for routing paths and does not exceed planned cable runs
• Verify indoor installation requirements; consider protected or armoured cabling for outdoor use
• Check polarity and connector type compatibility for duplex or crossover patching needs

Usage recommendations

Use gentle bends and proper cable management to take advantage of the G.657.A2 bend-insensitive properties; perform end-to-end loss testing after installation and store the cable coiled without tight loops to maintain connector and fibre integrity.
