Fibre optic cable ROLINE 21.15.9517 OS2 9 µm E-2000 (LSH) to LC duplex 10 m

High-quality fibre optic cable ROLINE 21.15.9517, 10 m long, designed for single-mode OS2 networks. The cable is duplex with a 9 µm core and combines an E-2000 (LSH) connector with APC polish on one end and an LC connector with UPC polish on the other end. The yellow jacket and LSOH material make it suitable for indoor installations where a standard single-mode fibre link is required.

Advantages

The cable pairs a secured, high-protection E-2000 (LSH) APC connector with a compact LC UPC connector, providing low back reflection and reliable signal transmission. Its OS2 single-mode fibre and 9 µm core ensure low attenuation over long distances, while the duplex configuration supports full-duplex data transfer. The LSOH jacket offers reduced smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, appropriate for many indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fibre backbone links in data centres and server rooms
• Telecommunications and ISP distribution networks
• Point-to-point connections requiring APC on one end and UPC on the other
• Indoor cabling where LSOH-rated sheath is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is optimized for single-mode OS2 applications and is not suitable for multimode systems or short-reach multimode equipment. It may also be unnecessary for installations that require identical connector types on both ends or environments demanding outdoor-rated or armored cables.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Fibre type: OS2 (single-mode)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Configuration: Duplex, full duplex support
• Connector A: E-2000 (LSH) with APC polish
• Connector B: LC with UPC polish
• Sheath: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Connect the E-2000 (LSH) APC end to the device or patch panel that accepts E-2000 connectors, ensuring the protective cap is removed and the connector is clean. Plug the LC UPC end into the corresponding LC port, observing correct polarity for duplex operation. Handle the fibre with care to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius and keep connectors protected when not in use. Use appropriate cleaning tools for APC and UPC interfaces to maintain low insertion loss and return loss.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your equipment accepts E-2000 (LSH) APC and LC UPC connectors or that adapters are available
• Confirm single-mode OS2 fibre is appropriate for your link distance and application
• Check indoor LSOH jacket suitability versus any outdoor or armored cable requirements
• Verify polarity and duplex requirements for your network setup

Usage recommendations

For best performance, clean connector endfaces before connection, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and store with dust caps when not connected. Use this cable where a combination of E-2000 APC and LC UPC termination is required in single-mode installations.
