Fiber Patch Cable LOGILINK FPSLS30 — OS2 singlemode, G657.A2 fiber, SC simplex to LC simplex, 30 m

LOGILINK FPSLS30 is a 30 m singlemode fiber patch cable designed for OS2 networks. It uses G657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber to maintain signal integrity in installations with tight routing and reduced bend radius. One end is terminated with an SC simplex connector and the other with an LC simplex connector, enabling a single-fiber link between devices with SC and LC interfaces. The cable is intended for telecom, data center and FTTH links where singlemode performance and space-efficient routing are required.

Advantages

The cable combines OS2 singlemode performance with G657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber, providing low attenuation and greater tolerance to tight bends. The SC simplex to LC simplex termination offers compatibility between standard SC ports and compact LC ports without the need for additional adapters. A 30 m length covers medium to long runs within buildings or between rooms while keeping a single-fiber footprint for point-to-point connections.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop lines and residential singlemode links
• Data centre interconnections where different connector types are used
• Telecom backbone links and equipment patching
• Environments with constrained cable routing or sharp bends

When it may not be suitable

This singlemode OS2 patch cable is not suitable for multimode networks or legacy systems that require multimode fibre types and connectors. It is also not intended for runs that require duplex connectivity; for duplex links, a pair of patch cables or a duplex cable should be used. The fixed 30 m length may be excessive for very short patching needs or insufficient for runs beyond 30 m.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode, OS2
• Core construction: bend-insensitive G657.A2
• Length: 30 m
• Connector A: SC simplex
• Connector B: LC simplex
• Polishing/termination: factory-terminated connectors for single-fiber links
• Typical applications: telecom, data centre, FTTH

How to use

Route the patch cable between the equipment ports ensuring the SC simplex connector mates with the device SC port and the LC simplex connector mates with the LC port. Avoid sharp kinks and maintain bending radii in line with G657.A2 recommendations to preserve low attenuation. Secure the cable with appropriate cable management clips or trays to prevent strain on the connectors. For testing, use an optical power meter or visual fault locator to confirm continuity and acceptable insertion loss.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment uses singlemode ports and requires OS2 performance
• Check that one device has an SC port and the other an LC port to match the SC-to-LC termination
• Decide whether a simplex cable meets your needs or if duplex connectivity is required
• Verify that a 30 m length fits your planned routing and installation constraints

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or ferrule housing, keep protective caps in place until installation, and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii even though the G657.A2 fiber is bend-insensitive. For critical links, perform insertion loss testing after installation and label both ends with location information and length for future maintenance.
