Patch cord duplex SM OEM PCLCLC9D0.5-2L 0.5 m, 2 mm jacket

Duplex single-mode patch cord OEM PCLCLC9D0.5-2L is a 0.5 m fiber-optic jumper with LC connectors on both ends and a 2 mm outer jacket. It provides a compact duplex link for single-mode applications where two fibres are required for bidirectional data transmission. The short length and slim jacket make this cable suitable for in-rack patching, direct connections between transceivers or equipment, and situations that demand a low-profile single-mode duplex cable.

Advantages

This patch cord combines duplex LC terminations with a 2 mm jacket in a compact 0.5 m length to minimize slack and reduce cable congestion in dense installations. Its single-mode design supports long-distance optical signalling standards when used within an appropriate SM system, while the OEM construction provides a simple, cost-effective interconnect option for short patch runs. The duplex arrangement ensures correct polarity and orderly pairing for bidirectional links.

Suitable for

• Short in-rack or cabinet patching between patch panels
• Direct connection of transceivers or SFP modules
• Low-profile duplex links where space is limited
• Test setups and lab environments requiring short SM jumpers

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (duplex)
• Connector type: LC on both ends (duplex)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Outer jacket diameter: 2 mm
• Configuration: duplex two-fiber jumper

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean if necessary using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Route the 0.5 m patch cord between the two equipment ports, transceivers or patch-panel adapters ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Avoid sharp bends and strain on the cable by maintaining manufacturer-recommended bend radii and securing the cable gently to prevent stress at the connector junctions. For short patch runs, the 2 mm jacket allows close stacking and neat cable management in dense racks.

Usage recommendations

Use this duplex single-mode patch cord for short, low-profile links inside racks or enclosures. Keep connectors capped when not in use, perform routine cleaning of endfaces, and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii to maintain optical performance and reduce insertion loss over time.
