S-Conn LWL Duplex Patch Cable LC to SC OS2 yellow 2.0 m

S-Conn LWL Duplex Patch Cable LC to SC OS2 yellow 2.0 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for point-to-point optical connections. The cable features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, standard OS2 single-mode fiber and a 2.0 metre jacket. The yellow outer sheath indicates single-mode usage and helps with quick identification in racks and cabling trays. This cable is intended for use in data centres, telecom rooms and LAN installations where duplex LC-to-SC connectivity is required.

Advantages

The cable combines common connector types (LC and SC) to bridge equipment with different port interfaces while maintaining single-mode performance with OS2 fiber. Its duplex design supports bidirectional links and simplified cable management in patch panels and fiber extenders. The 2.0 m length provides a balance between reach and tidy routing in cabinets and racks. The yellow jacket improves visual identification of single-mode runs and reduces the risk of connecting wrong fiber types.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting optical transceivers and patch panels with LC and SC ports
• Short-run single-mode links inside data centres and telecom rooms
• Links between network equipment and fiber extenders or media converters
• LAN backbone connections where duplex single-mode cables are required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is single-mode OS2 and therefore not suitable for multimode applications or systems that require OM-series multimode fiber. It may not be appropriate if different connector types (for example LC to LC or SC to SC) are required, or if longer distances beyond the cable's 2.0 m length are needed. Environments requiring armoured or outdoor-rated cables, enhanced bend-insensitive constructions, or special low-smoke zero-halogen jackets should consider other cable types.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Configuration: duplex
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Length: 2.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)

How to use

Route the patch cable between the LC port and the SC port, taking care to follow existing cable management and bend-radius guidelines. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle until it clicks, and push the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until it locks. Ensure the connectors and adapters are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Avoid tight bends, crushing, or tensioning the cable and secure excess length in a patch panel or cable tray to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that connected devices support single-mode OS2 fiber
• Verify that LC-to-SC connector combination matches your equipment ports
• Check that 2.0 m length is sufficient for your rack or patching layout
• Assess whether you need special jacket properties (armour, outdoor, LSZH)

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connectors and adapters clean, avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber, and secure the cable to prevent strain. Use this LC to SC OS2 duplex patch cable for short internal links where single-mode, low-loss connectivity is required.
