Fibre optic duplex cable ROLINE 21158635 OS2 10 m 2x LC–2x LC white

ROLINE 21158635 OS2 duplex fibre optic cable, 10 m length, provides a single-mode connection with a 9 µm core diameter and LC to LC terminations. The cable’s white outer jacket and duplex construction support full-duplex transmission for point-to-point links, backbone runs, and connections between networking equipment in racks and server rooms. The OS2 single-mode fibre is intended for long-distance links with low attenuation and stable signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and predictable single-mode performance across typical telecom and data centre wavelengths. LC duplex connectors provide a compact footprint compatible with patch panels, transceivers and network devices that accept LC terminations. The white jacket allows for clear visual identification and tidy routing in structured cabling environments. Its 10 m length is convenient for connecting equipment within racks or between adjacent cabinets without additional splicing.

Suitable for

• Server room patching and inter-rack connections
• Data centre backbone and horizontal links
• Long-distance single-mode links and campus networks
• Connections to SFP/SFP+ transceivers with LC interfaces

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Configuration: duplex (two fibres)
• Connector type: 2x LC to 2x LC (duplex LC on both ends)
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket colour: white
• Suitable wavelengths: typical single-mode telecom wavelengths (e.g., 1310 nm, 1550 nm)

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the source and destination ports, ensuring the correct orientation of transmit and receive pairs when connecting devices. Insert LC connectors straight into compatible LC ports or patch panels until they click into place; avoid excessive bending near the connector and along the cable run to maintain minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. Secure the cable along trays or within racks to prevent strain on the connector ends and to preserve optical performance.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors for dust and clean with an appropriate fibre cleaning tool before making connections. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid tight loops and protect terminations with dust caps when not in use. Use this OS2 duplex cable for long-reach single-mode links and in environments where stable low-loss connections are required.
