Glasvezelkabel BlueOptics Duplex LWL-patchkabel LC-APC/SC-UPC OS2 10m blauw/groen

The BlueOptics Duplex LWL Patch Cable LC-APC/SC-UPC OS2 10m Blue/Green is a singlemode fiber patch cable designed for reliable optical connections in network infrastructures. It uses LC-APC and SC-UPC connectors on opposite ends, supports OS2 singlemode fiber (E9/125µm, G.657.A1) and comes in a 10 meter length. The cable is manufactured with brand fiber, a 2.0 mm tube and a ceramic ferrule, and is supplied with a measurement protocol to document insertion loss performance. The outer jacket is LSZH and the cable color coding is blue/green for easy identification in racks and conduits.

Advantages

The cable delivers low input attenuation of under 0.2 dB, ensuring minimal signal loss across the 10 m span. The use of a ceramic ferrule offers precise connector alignment and long-term stability while the G.657.A1 fiber type provides improved bend performance compared with older singlemode types. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, and included measurement documentation supports quality control and traceability.

Suitable for

• Singlemode fiber patching between network equipment such as switches, routers and SFP transceivers
• Data center fibre trunking and horizontal cabling where low loss and color-coded connections are required
• Telecommunication cabinets and fiber management panels using LC-APC to SC-UPC terminations
• Sites requiring LSZH outer jackets for safety compliance in confined or public spaces

• Connector B: SC-UPC (ultra polish connector)
• Length: 10 meters
• Insertion loss: < 0.2 dB (per provided measurement protocol)
• Ferrule material: Ceramic
• Buffer tube diameter: 2.0 mm
• Outer jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color coding: Blue/Green

How to use

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces and verify the measurement protocol to confirm insertion loss. Route the 10 m cable along designated cable trays or conduits, avoiding sharp bends and compressive loads; the G.657.A1 fiber tolerates tighter bends but standard handling practices should be followed. Insert the LC-APC and SC-UPC connectors into the corresponding ports ensuring proper orientation for the keyed housings. After mating, re-check optical power or link status to confirm correct connection and expected attenuation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use dust caps on connectors when not in use and perform endface cleaning with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Maintain bend radius recommendations from the manufacturer, secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain, and keep the measurement protocol with installation records for future verification and maintenance.
