LogiLink OS2 Simplex Single-mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable SC/APC to LC/APC 0.5m Yellow G.657.A2

The LogiLink OS2 Simplex Single-mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a reliable network connectivity solution designed for high-speed telecommunications, enterprise networks, and data centers. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this fiber optic patch cable features an SC/APC connector on one end and an LC/APC connector on the other. Built with OS2 G.657.A2 single-mode fiber, a 9/125 micrometer core, and a halogen-free yellow jacket, it ensures low signal loss and safe installation in various indoor environments. The bend-insensitive fiber construction makes it particularly suitable for routing in confined spaces and demanding fiber optic cabling setups such as FTTH, FTTB, FTTD, and FTTO.

Advantages

This single-mode fiber optic cable utilizes bend-insensitive G.657.A2 fiber, allowing for tight routing without significant signal degradation, which is essential for installations in restricted spaces. The inclusion of low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket material ensures increased safety by preventing toxic fumes in the event of a fire. Furthermore, the precise APC polishing on both the SC and LC connectors minimizes back reflection and attenuation, delivering stable and efficient high-speed data transmission for professional networking environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment in data centers and enterprise fiber optic networks
• FTTx installations including FTTH, FTTB, FTTD, and FTTO
• High-speed telecommunication applications requiring low signal loss
• Routing in confined spaces due to bend-insensitive fiber characteristics

When it may not be suitable

This product may not be suitable for multi-mode fiber networks, as it is specifically designed for single-mode applications. Additionally, the 0.5-meter length limits its use to short-distance connections between adjacent patch panels or network devices, making it inappropriate for long-run cable routing.

How to use

Carefully remove the protective dust caps from the SC/APC and LC/APC connectors before installation. Align the connector keyway with the corresponding port on your network device, patch panel, or transceiver, and push gently until it clicks into place. Avoid excessive pulling, sharp bending beyond the specified radius, or exposing the fiber ends to dust and moisture to maintain optimal signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware requires SC/APC and LC/APC single-mode connections
• Confirm that a 0.5-meter cable length is sufficient for the distance between your connected devices
• Check whether your installation environment mandates halogen-free LSZH cable materials

Usage recommendations: Inspect and clean the fiber optic connector end faces using appropriate cleaning tools before every connection to prevent signal degradation and protect optical ports from contamination.
