Product description: OS2 single-mode LC/APC to LC/APC duplex patch lead
This premium OS2 single-mode LC/APC to LC/APC duplex patch lead is engineered for superior performance in high-speed, long-distance fibre optic networks.

Ideal for demanding environments like data centres, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise networks.

This cable ensures a pristine signal with ultra-low reflection and minimal signal loss.

The duplex design allows for efficient, bidirectional data transmission, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for your fibre cabling needs.

Key features and benefits

OS2 single-mode fibre: The 9/125µm fibre core is optimised for high-speed, long-distance data transmission, supporting Ethernet speeds from 1G to 100G and beyond.

LC/APC connectors: Featuring two Lucent Connector (LC) plugs with Angled Physical Contact (APC) end-faces. The 8° angle on the polished ferrule minimises back-reflection, ensuring a high-quality, stable signal crucial for high-speed applications.

High-density and secure: The compact, push-pull design of the LC connectors allows for high-density patching in constrained spaces, while the secure latching mechanism prevents accidental disconnections.

Duplex design: The two-strand configuration supports simultaneous two-way data flow, making it perfect for connecting transceivers, switches, and other networking equipment.

Low insertion and high return loss: Each cable is individually tested to ensure it meets stringent performance standards, with typical insertion loss below 0.2dB and return loss over 65dB, guaranteeing superior signal integrity.

Robust and compliant jacket: Constructed with a durable Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, this patch lead is flame-retardant and reduces the emission of toxic smoke in case of a fire, making it safe for use in public and indoor areas.

Factory-certified quality: Every patch lead is supplied with an individual test report, verifying its performance and quality assurance.

Applications

Data centres: For patching high-density racks and server connections.

Telecommunications: In optical switch networks, FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home), and FTTX installations.

Enterprise networks: For high-speed connections between switches, routers, and patch panels.

CATV and network distribution: Suitable for CATV applications and shared RF overlay systems.
