Fiber optic patch cable helos LWL 9/125µm OS2 LC Duplex 0.5 m

helos LWL 9/125µm OS2 LC Duplex 0.5 m is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for short duplex connections in telecommunications and data center environments. The cable uses 9/125µm single-mode fiber with OS2 specification and LC duplex connectors to provide low attenuation and stable optical performance over short link distances. Its 0.5 m length makes it suitable for patch panels, switch ports and direct interconnections between active equipment where compact, reliable fiber links are needed.

Advantages

The helos single-mode patch cable delivers consistent low-loss transmission with OS2-grade fiber and precision LC duplex connectors for repeatable mating performance. Its short 0.5 m length minimises excess slack in dense rack environments and reduces insertion loss compared with longer patch leads. The cable is built to industry norms for connector ferrule size and cable geometry to ensure compatibility with standard optical equipment and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centers
• Direct connections between switches, routers and transceivers
• Short duplex links in telecom racks and server cabinets
• Test setups and temporary connections during maintenance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode 9/125µm
• OS specification: OS2 (optimized for single-mode, long-wavelength transmission)
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Polish type: industry standard (ceramic ferrule, UPC/APC depends on specific product variant)
• Cable construction: duplex jacketed fiber suitable for patching in racks

How to use

Align the LC duplex connector with the mating adapter or transceiver port and insert until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Handle connectors by the body and avoid touching the ferrule endface; clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to minimise insertion loss. Route the cable without sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For disconnection, press the release latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the connector.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m helos LC duplex patch cable where short, direct single-mode connections are required. Store and transport connectors in dust caps when not in use, perform endface inspection and cleaning prior to installation, and keep cable routing tidy to prevent microbending losses in dense rack environments.
