Glasvezel-patchkabel helos 9/125µm OS2 LC naar SC duplex 0,5 m

Single-mode fiber optic patch cable helos 9/125µm OS2 LC to SC duplex 0.5 m is a short‑reach interconnect cable designed for precise, low‑loss connections in telecom and data centre environments. The cable uses a 9/125µm single‑mode glass core with OS2 attenuation characteristics and terminates in an LC connector on one end and an SC duplex connector on the other. With a 0.5 m length it is intended for patching, panel-to-equipment links and test setups where compact, reliable fibre connections are required.

Advantages

The helos single‑mode OS2 cable provides low insertion loss and stable optical performance across standard telecom wavelengths. Its LC and SC duplex connectors offer a compact LC termination for equipment with limited port spacing and a robust SC duplex plug for rack and panel interfaces. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess fibre slack in dense cabling environments and supports neat routing in patch cabinets and network racks.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single‑mode 9/125 µm
• Optical class: OS2
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC duplex (other end)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Polish type: typically UPC or APC depending on build (verify product label)
• Typical use wavelengths: 1310 nm, 1550 nm

How to use

Unpack the cable and inspect connector end‑faces for cleanliness before installation. Clean connectors with an appropriate fibre cleaning tool if contamination is present. Plug the LC connector into the LC port on the transceiver or equipment module and insert the SC duplex connector into the corresponding SC duplex adapter or panel port, ensuring correct alignment and firm seating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends (maintain minimum bend radius) and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. For testing, connect patch leads to the measurement device and follow standard optical loss and continuity procedures.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid contaminating or scratching connector end‑faces. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s specified minimum bend radius, and avoid excessive tensile force. For links requiring the lowest possible back reflection, confirm connector polish type and mating pair requirements before deployment.
