Corning LC/APC to LC/APC Single-mode OS2 Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, 2.0 mm, White, 20 m F222201J1Z20020M

Data center technicians and network engineers rely on this Corning fiber patch cable for clean, low-loss single-mode connections between LC/APC ports. The 20-meter white simplex cable with 2.0 mm diameter is ideal for structured cabling in telecommunication rooms, FTTH distribution points, and high-density fiber panels where angled polish and bend-insensitive OS2 fiber are required.

Key specifications

• Fiber mode: Single-mode OS2 (ITU-T G.657.A1/A2 compatible)
• Cable length: 20 m
• Cable diameter: 2.0 mm
• Cable colour: White
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Insertion loss: ≤ 0.2 dB
• Return loss: ≥ 60 dB
• Ferrule material: Zirconia ceramic
• Minimum bend radius: 10 mm
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C
• Durability: 500 mating cycles

Why choose it

Angled physical contact (APC) connectors reduce back reflections, making this cable suitable for high-speed digital and analog video links. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen in case of fire, meeting strict indoor safety requirements. The 2.0 mm simplex design balances flexibility with robustness for easy routing in tight spaces.

Ideal use cases

• Data center interconnects between switches and patch panels
• FTTH drop cable extensions and ONT connections
• Telecom central office and headend patching
• Test and measurement setups requiring stable APC terminations

Good to know

This cable is part of Corning's plug-and-play fiber patch cord family, designed for repeatable performance over hundreds of mating cycles. The white jacket aids in color-coding or visibility in dark enclosures.
