Helos LC multimode patch cable 0.5 m — duplex fibre optic cable, LC plug

Helos Patch Cable LC multi-mode 0.5 m is a duplex multimode fiber patch lead with LC connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance optical connections in structured cabling. With a 0.5 meter length it is intended for neat, reliable links between patch panels, switches and transceiver modules in racks and data center environments, providing low insertion loss and minimized bend-sensitive signal degradation in multimode applications.

Advantages

This LC multimode duplex cable offers compact LC connector interfaces that save panel space and simplify cable management. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack and helps maintain organized patching in dense racks. The cable is optimized for multimode fiber transmission, delivering consistent optical performance for short-range links and compatible with standard LC duplex ports on network equipment.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels in data centers
• Interfacing transceiver modules and network equipment with LC duplex ports
• Short-distance multimode links inside telecom racks and server cabinets
• High-density patch fields where minimal cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Fiber type: multimode
• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable configuration: duplex (two fibers)
• Typical application: short-range optical patching

How to use

Insert the LC connectors into matching LC duplex ports on the equipment to be connected, ensuring correct transmit-to-receive orientation. Use the cable to link patch panel ports to switch or transceiver ports, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension on the fiber. For best results, route the cable through horizontal managers or cable guides within the rack to maintain bend radius and prevent stress on connector ferrules.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before insertion; clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if contamination is present. Maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber, avoid twisting or crushing the cable, and label both ends when used in dense patching environments to simplify identification and future maintenance.
