Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-LC/SC-OS2-05 LC/SC SM 9/125µm 0.5m

The LYNX LX-DPX-LC/SC-OS2-05 duplex patch cable is a 0.5 m single-mode fiber cable with LC and SC connectors, constructed for reliable high-speed optical data transmission. Using 9/125 µm single-mode fiber, the cable provides low attenuation and stable signal quality for point-to-point links in data centers, telecom racks, and network equipment with limited space. Its duplex design supports bi-directional or paired channel connections while the compact LC connector enables dense port arrangements.

Advantages

The cable delivers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across standard single-mode wavelengths. Its LC/SC connector combination offers compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in crowded cabinets and simplifies cable management. The 9/125 µm fiber geometry ensures long-distance capability where single-mode optics are required.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between transceivers and switches in data centers
• Interconnects in telecom and central office equipment
• Cabling in confined rack spaces and network cabinets
• Laboratory and testbench fiber links for single-mode modules

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode optical fiber, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector types: LC (one end) to SC (other end), duplex
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Configuration: duplex patch cable for paired channels
• Typical performance: low insertion loss suitable for single-mode applications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean if necessary using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Align and insert the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports until they click or seat firmly, taking care not to exceed minimum bend radius during routing. Use cable management accessories or Velcro ties to secure the 0.5 m patch cable and avoid tight bends. For removal, gently depress the connector latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the ferrule.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable in a dust-free environment when possible; avoid unnecessary mating cycles and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when disconnected. Verify link performance after installation using appropriate optical test equipment to ensure low insertion loss and correct polarity.
