Fiber optic duplex patch cable ShiverPeaks 77804 LC/LC 9/125 µm OS1/OS2 5.0 m

Duplex fiber optic patch cable ShiverPeaks 77804 LC/LC 9/125 µm OS1/OS2 5.0 m is a single-mode fiber link designed for two-fiber duplex transmission. The cable features LC connectors on both ends and a 9/125 µm core/cladding geometry that conforms to OS1/OS2 single-mode specifications. With a 5.0 m length and yellow jacket, this patch cable is intended to provide reliable, low-loss connections between optical devices in telecom racks, data centers, and other structured cabling environments where single-mode performance is required.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable provides stable single-mode transmission with low attenuation and predictable modal performance thanks to the 9/125 µm fiber construction and OS1/OS2 specification. The LC connectors ensure compact connection density and compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The 5.0 m length is suitable for horizontal and equipment-to-equipment links inside racks or enclosures, and the yellow outer jacket signals single-mode fiber for easy identification during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnecting optical transceivers and switches in data centers
• Patch panel to equipment links in telecommunications closets
• Short to medium single-mode runs inside server racks and network cabinets
• Laboratory and test setups that require LC/LC single-mode connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Standard: OS1/OS2 single-mode
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (single-mode identification)
• Configuration: duplex, two fibers

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before connecting; clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if contamination is present. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC receptacle until the latch clicks; ensure duplex orientation matches transmit/receive pairs on connected devices. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the cable manufacturer to prevent added attenuation. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and pull straight out; handle connectors by the boot or connector body rather than pulling on the cable jacket.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Use dust caps on unused connectors to protect endfaces. For best performance in critical links, test insertion loss and return loss after installation and keep spare LC cleaners available for maintenance.
