Ekivalan OS2 Duplex Patch Cable LC APC to LC, 9/125 µm, Yellow, 15 m COZ008LALC2SJ0150A

With a return loss of ≥60 dB on the LC APC connector, this OS2 single-mode duplex patch cable delivers exceptionally clean optical signals for high-speed backbone links. The 15-metre yellow LSZH jacket houses two 9/125 µm fibres, terminated with LC APC on one end and LC PC on the other, making it ideal for FTTx, CATV and data centre interconnects.

Overview

The Ekivalan COZ008LALC2SJ0150A is a duplex OS2 single-mode fibre patch cable. It features a 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding, meeting ITU-T G.652D standards. The cable is 15 metres long with a 3.0 mm diameter and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) yellow jacket for safety in enclosed spaces. Connectors are LC APC (angled physical contact) on one end and LC PC (physical contact) on the other, with a crossed A-B polarity for proper duplex transmission.

What stands out

• LC APC connector ensures return loss ≥60 dB, minimising back reflections.
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in fire conditions.
• Duplex configuration with crossed polarity supports bidirectional communication.
• OS2 fibre is optimised for wavelengths from 1310 nm to 1550 nm.
