Fiber patch cable LOGILINK FPSLC40 — 2× LC‑Simplex, OS2 (G657.A2), 40 m, yellow

LOGILINK FPSLC40 is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable with two LC‑Simplex connectors and OS2 fiber type G657.A2 in a 40 m length. The cable features a yellow outer jacket indicating single-mode usage and is intended for high-speed optical links in telecommunications, data centres and building backbone installations. It supports long-distance signal transmission, low attenuation and straightforward fiber patching between equipment with LC‑Simplex ports.

Advantages

The LOGILINK FPSLC40 provides stable single-mode performance with low insertion loss and bend-insensitive G657.A2 fiber, which reduces signal degradation in routed installations. The 40 m length offers flexibility for connecting racks, patch panels and active devices across floors or within data hall aisles. LC‑Simplex connectors ensure compact port density and compatibility with standard LC adapters and SFP transceivers that accept LC terminations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting patch panels and fiber switches in data centres
• Building backbone and riser fiber links where single-mode is required
• Telecom equipment connections and long‑reach optical links
• Fiber patching between transceivers, media converters and optical distribution frames

When it may not be suitable

This cable is single-mode OS2 (G657.A2) and is not suitable for multimode applications or equipment that requires multimode connectors (e.g. OM3/OM4). It is also not intended to replace installed permanent indoor/outdoor trunk cabling that requires specific armoring, UV resistance or certified flame-retardant jackets for plenum spaces unless those properties are explicitly confirmed.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2, bend-insensitive G657.A2
• Connector type: 2 × LC‑Simplex
• Length: 40 m
• Jacket colour: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Typical use: patching and interconnect for long-distance optical links

How to use

Verify that both ends and the equipment ports are clean and free from dust before connection; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if available. Align each LC‑Simplex connector with the corresponding LC adapter or port and insert until it clicks. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for G657.A2 fiber to minimise attenuation. When removing, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight to avoid damaging the ferrule or adapter.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your devices accept LC‑Simplex single-mode connectors
• Ensure single-mode (OS2) fibre is suitable for your link distance and transceiver types
• Check environmental and routing requirements (indoor, plenum, outdoor exposure) against the cable jacket properties

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, keep connectors capped when not in use, route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure with appropriate cable management. Use compatible single-mode transceivers and test links with an optical power meter or light source/OTDR to verify loss levels after installation.
