Fibre optic cable Helos 20m OS2 LC/ST

The Helos 20m OS2 LC/ST fibre optic cable provides a single-mode optical connection for high-speed data transmission over long distances. With a 9 µm core diameter and OS2 fiber type, this 20-metre cable is engineered for full duplex communication between LC and ST connectors, making it suitable for backbone links, equipment interconnects and installations where low attenuation and stable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines single-mode OS2 performance with LC and ST terminations to deliver low signal loss and consistent bandwidth. The 20 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or room-to-room runs. Its 9 µm core supports precise light coupling for long-distance links, and the robust connector interfaces ensure reliable mating in professional network environments.

Suitable for

• Backbone connections in data centres and server rooms
• Interlinking network equipment such as switches and media converters
• Long-distance point-to-point optical links within buildings or across campus networks
• Testing and temporary setups requiring LC to ST connectivity

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector types: LC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Cable length: 20 metres
• Transmission: full duplex
• Typical applications: long-distance data links, backbone cabling

How to use

Route the Helos fibre optic cable along the planned pathway avoiding sharp bends and areas of mechanical stress. When connecting, align and insert the LC and ST connectors into the corresponding ports on your equipment until they click or seat securely. Ensure both ends are clean before mating; use a fibre cleaning tool if necessary. After installation, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties, maintaining the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces for contaminants before each connection, avoid excessive pulling force on the cable, and maintain bend radii above the recommended minimum to minimize attenuation and preserve long-term signal reliability.
