Optical duplex patch cable LC‑LC 9/125 µm SM OS2, 30 m

Duplex optical patch cable LC‑LC 9/125 µm SM OS2, 30 m is a singlemode fiber patch cord with LC connectors on both ends, designed for long‑distance, low‑loss optical links. The cable contains two 9/125 µm singlemode fibers meeting OS2 specifications, providing bidirectional transmission in a compact duplex format. With a 30 metre length, this LC‑LC patch cable is suited for telecom, data centre and campus backbone connections that require stable optical performance and minimal attenuation.

Advantages

The duplex LC‑LC configuration delivers two independent fibers in one jacket for simultaneous Tx/Rx transmission while keeping connector density low. Singlemode 9/125 µm fiber and OS2 compliance ensure low attenuation and good performance over long distances. LC connectors provide a small form factor and reliable mechanical connection for patch panels and transceiver ports. The 30 m length gives flexibility for mid‑range horizontal or inter‑room links without splicing.

Suitable for

• Telecommunication backbone links and long‑reach point‑to‑point connections
• Data centre interconnects between racks or equipment rooms
• Campus network links between buildings and distribution points
• Fiber patching in telecom racks, patch panels and optical distribution frames

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Fiber type: singlemode 9/125 µm
• Standard: OS2 (singlemode, low water peak)
• Cable length: 30 m
• Number of fibers: 2 (duplex)
• Typical use: long‑distance singlemode links, patching and interconnects

How to use

Install the LC‑LC duplex patch cable by inserting each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on equipment, patch panels or transceivers, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for singlemode fiber. For best optical performance, keep connectors clean and inspect endfaces before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools and inspection equipment.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid pulling on the fiber itself and use cable management accessories to prevent excessive bending. When deploying in active systems, verify link performance with an optical power meter or OTDR if available and replace connectors or re‑clean endfaces if measured loss exceeds expected values.
