Fibre optic cable Helos 7.5m OS2 LC/LC

The Helos 7.5m OS2 LC/LC fibre optic cable provides single-mode optical transmission with a 9 µm core diameter, designed for full duplex communication. With LC connectors on both ends, this 7.5-metre cable supports high-speed data transfer while keeping attenuation low, making it suitable for longer link distances within data centres, server rooms and enterprise network infrastructures.

Advantages

The single-mode OS2 construction minimises modal dispersion and enables low insertion loss across long distances. LC/LC terminations ensure compact connector size and wide compatibility with transceivers and patch panels. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections without excess slack. The cable is engineered to meet typical industry requirements for optical performance and stable full duplex operation.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• Enterprise backbone links and telecom rooms
• Server rack-to-patch-panel or cross-connect applications
• High-speed network equipment requiring LC connectors and single-mode fibre

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Transmission mode: full duplex
• Typical use: long-distance, low-attenuation optical links

How to use

Route the cable between LC-compatible ports, ensuring connectors are free from dust before insertion. Align and push the LC connectors into the corresponding transceiver or patch panel ports until they click into place. Maintain gentle bends and avoid tight radii to prevent microbending losses. For removal, press the LC latch and withdraw the connector straight out. Store unused connectors with protective dust caps to preserve endface cleanliness.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre-cleaning tools before each connection. Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect it from sharp edges and mechanical strain. Use labelled patching and route management in racks and trays to reduce stress and maintain optical performance.
