Hama 00200742 single-mode OS2 glasvezelkabel, LC/APC naar LC/UPC, 3 m, wit

In modern data centers and telecommunication networks, reliable high-speed optical transmission is non-negotiable. Signal degradation from poor connector polish or mismatched interfaces can lead to costly downtime. The Hama 00200742 fiber optic cable solves this by combining an LC/APC connector on one end and an LC/UPC connector on the other, ensuring minimal reflection and insertion loss for stable, long-distance single-mode links.

Who is it for

Network engineers, data center technicians, and telecom installers who need a dependable simplex OS2 patch cable for interconnecting equipment with different polish types, such as between an OLT and a patch panel, or where angled and ultra physical contact terminations must coexist.

Main features

• Connector 1: LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) – return loss > 60 dB for minimal back reflection.
• Connector 2: LC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) – return loss > 50 dB for low insertion loss.
• Single-mode OS2 fiber, 9/125 µm core/cladding, optimized for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.
• Simplex cable structure with durable PVC jacket, white color for easy identification.
• 3-meter length, ideal for patching in racks or between adjacent equipment.
• Insertion loss typically < 0.3 dB per connection, ensuring signal integrity.
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 70°C, suitable for controlled environments.

Tips

Always inspect and clean connector end faces before mating to avoid contamination-induced attenuation. Use dust caps when the cable is not connected. For best performance, avoid tight bends; maintain a bend radius of at least 10 times the cable diameter.
