helos glasvezel OS2-patchkabel Uniboot LC/LC duplex 9/125 µm, LSZH, 2,0 mm, geel, 5 m (373367)

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 9/125µm OS2 5.0m Black is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for point-to-point connections in structured cabling environments. With a 9/125µm core/cladding ratio and OS2 rating, the cable is intended to support low-loss transmission over extended distances. Its duplex LC/LC uniboot connector configuration reduces connector bulk, while the 5.0 m length provides room for typical rack, cabinet, and equipment placements.

Advantages

This uniboot fiber patch cable offers reduced cable density through combined duplex housings and supports single-mode transmission characteristics defined by 9/125µm fiber geometry and OS2 performance. The black outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for data center or office installations. The LC/LC connector pair ensures reliable mating with compatible transceivers and patch panels and helps maintain optical integrity with appropriately rated connectors.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber backbone links in telecommunication rooms and data centers
• Patch panel-to-transceiver connections in switches and routers
• High-density fiber installations where reduced connector footprint is required
• Laboratory setups and test benches requiring standard LC interfacing

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, 9/125 µm
• OS rating: OS2 (single-mode, optimized for long-distance)
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex, uniboot configuration
• Cable length: 5.0 meters
• Jacket color: black

How to use

Route the cable through cable management paths and secure it to avoid sharp bends that could increase attenuation; maintain bend radii according to single-mode fiber handling practices. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on patch panels, transceivers, or fiber optic modules until the latch clicks. Verify correct polarity for duplex links and, after installation, test optical loss and continuity with appropriate optical test equipment to ensure the link meets required performance levels.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing and avoid touching the fiber endfaces; use fiber cleaning tools before mating. Store and route the 5.0 m cable to prevent tight bends and mechanical strain. Use the uniboot configuration to simplify cable management in high-density panels and maintain documented polarity for duplex runs.
