Helos 9/125µm OS2 LC optical patch cable 1.5m

Single‑mode optical patch cable helos LWL 9/125µm OS2 LC 1.5m is a precision-terminated fiber cable for use in telecom, data center and network patching applications. The cable features a 9/125µm core/cladding single-mode fiber with OS2 classification and LC duplex connectors on both ends. With a 1.5 m length it is suitable for short interconnects between equipment, patch panels and fiber distribution frames where low attenuation and stable signal transmission are required.

Advantages

The helos LWL single-mode cable delivers low insertion loss and consistent return loss characteristics appropriate for single-mode optical links. LC duplex connectors provide compact, reliable plugs that are compatible with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The 9/125µm fiber and OS2 specification ensure good performance for long wavelength transmission and indoor backbone cabling, while the 1.5 m length reduces excess slack and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and transceivers in data centers and telecom racks
• Patching between fiber distribution panels and equipment
• Short backbone and horizontal fiber runs within server rooms and wiring closets
• Laboratory and testbench fiber links requiring LC terminations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode 9/125µm
• Optical classification: OS2
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Application environment: indoor/network/data center
• Typical characteristics: low attenuation and stable optical performance for single-mode links

How to use

Install the patch cable by inserting the LC connectors into the appropriate LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or equipment. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination-related loss; use a fiber-cleaning tool or lint-free swabs and isopropyl alcohol if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends below the specified bend radius, secure it with cable management accessories, and avoid tension or crushing that could damage the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use, and perform connector cleaning and inspection during installation and maintenance to maintain optimal optical performance.
