ACT 2 meter Singlemode 9/125 OS2 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT Singlemode Fiber Cable 2m OS2 Polarity Twist with LC Connectors is a 2-meter singlemode optical patch cable designed for long-distance, low-loss fiber links. It uses a 9/125 µm singlemode core and OS2 attenuation-grade fiber, terminated with LC connectors on both ends. The polarity twist design arranges fiber orientation to maintain correct transmit/receive alignment in duplex LC connections, supporting high-speed data transmission and reliable signal integrity in telecommunication and data center environments.

Advantages

This singlemode OS2 cable provides low attenuation and stable performance over extended distances, supporting high-bandwidth applications with minimal signal degradation. The LC connectors offer a compact duplex interface suitable for dense patch panels and transceivers. The polarity twist reduces the need for additional crossover adapters by ensuring correct channel mapping in duplex links, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Long-reach telecom links and metropolitan area networks
• Data center trunking and server-to-switch connections
• Fiber-to-the-desk or point-to-point optical links requiring polarity control
• High-speed optical transceiver connections (LC interface)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Singlemode 9/125 µm
• OS standard: OS2 (low attenuation, optimized for long distance)
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Polarity: Polarity twist for duplex alignment
• Typical use: Patch cable for optical networks and transceivers

How to use

Connect each LC connector to the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or network equipment, observing the polarity labels or markings on ports to ensure correct transmit/receive mapping. Route the cable along cable management guides or within fiber trays to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain a bend radius recommended by equipment vendors to preserve optical performance. For installation in racks or patch fields, secure the cable with appropriate ties or clips without compressing the jacket or connectors.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before insertion and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if contamination is present. Use the polarity twist cable where duplex orientation must be preserved to avoid additional crossover patching. Avoid repeated flexing near connector ends and adhere to handling guidelines for singlemode fiber to maintain low insertion loss and long-term reliability.
