Ekivalan OS2 Duplex Patch Cable, LC APC to LC PC, 9/125 µm, LSZH, Yellow, 3 m COZ008LALC2SJ0030A

With a return loss exceeding 60 dB on the APC end, this OS2 single-mode duplex patch cable delivers exceptionally clean optical signals for demanding network links. The 3-meter length and LC APC to LC PC connectors make it a direct fit for FTTH, data center, and enterprise backbone connections where low back-reflection matters.

Overview

Built around a 9/125 µm OS2 single-mode fiber with a bend-insensitive G.657.A1/A2 construction, the cable maintains signal integrity even when routed through tight spaces. The yellow LSZH jacket provides flame-retardant safety and easy identification, while ceramic ferrules ensure precise alignment for consistent performance.

What stands out

• APC polish on one connector minimizes back-reflection for high-power or sensitive systems.
• LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, suitable for enclosed or public areas.
• Duplex A-B polarity supports standard transceiver-to-transceiver links without crossover adapters.
• Bend-insensitive fiber allows a minimum bend radius of 10 mm without significant loss.
