InLine Fibre Optic Duplex Cable, LC/SC, 9/125µm, OS2, 5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 9/125µm OS2 5m is a duplex multimode assembly designed for single-mode OS2 networks. With two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other, the cable provides full-duplex transmission over a 5 meter length. The 9/125µm core/cladding diameter supports long-distance, low-loss single-mode links commonly used in telecom and data center environments.

Advantages

This fiber optic duplex cable offers stable, low-attenuation signal transmission consistent with OS2 single-mode fiber characteristics. The LC and SC connector combination enables compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and patch panels. The duplex construction ensures simultaneous bidirectional data flow, while the 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers, and optical transceivers in data centers
• Telecommunications backbone and access networks requiring OS2 single-mode links
• Patch panel to equipment connections where LC and SC interfaces must be bridged
• Laboratory and testing environments needing short, controlled-length fiber links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode OS2
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Connector A (one end): 2 × LC (duplex)
• Connector B (other end): 2 × SC (duplex)
• Length: 5 m
• Duplex configuration for bidirectional transmission
• Typical application: indoor patching and equipment interconnects

How to use

Route the InLine fiber duplex cable between devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding tight radius turns to prevent attenuation increases. Insert the LC connectors into matching LC ports and the SC connectors into SC ports until they click or seat securely. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use and verify polarity and duplex orientation to match transmit and receive ports on connected equipment. After installation, test the optical link using suitable fiber test equipment to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or housing and avoid touching the ferrule end-face. Clean connector end-faces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the cable manufacturer and store excess cable to prevent kinking. For critical links, perform insertion loss and return loss measurements after installation to ensure compliance with network requirements.
