Fibre optic cable Helos 2m OS2 LC/ST

The Helos 2m OS2 LC/ST fibre optic cable is a 2-metre single-mode patch cable designed for full duplex data transmission. It uses OS2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and terminated with LC and ST connectors to support a variety of networking equipment. The cable is intended for high-speed, low-loss optical connections in structured cabling, telecom and data centre links where single-mode performance is required.

Advantages

The single-mode OS2 fibre ensures low attenuation over long distances and stable signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. The 9 µm core diameter provides standard single-mode performance compatible with common optical transceivers. LC and ST connector types offer flexibility for connecting to different devices and patch panels. The 2 m length is suitable for inter-equipment connections where a short-to-medium reach optical link is needed.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centres
• Patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Telecom and campus backbone links requiring single-mode fibre
• Point-to-point full duplex optical connections between devices

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 2 m
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: ST
• Transmission mode: Full duplex (duplex cable)
• Typical applications: Structured cabling, data centre, telecom links

How to use

Connect the LC end to the appropriate LC port on the transceiver or patch panel and the ST end to the corresponding ST receptacle on the receiving device or distribution frame, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating of connectors. Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid bending the fibre beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage. For installation, route the cable through cable management trays or conduits and secure it with appropriate fasteners, keeping it separate from electrical power cabling where possible.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before use and clean with suitable fibre cleaning tools if contamination is present. Use strain relief and maintain bend radius guidelines during installation and operation. For long-term reliability, verify link performance with an optical power meter or OTDR after installation and perform periodic inspections in high-traffic or harsh environments.
