Fibre optic cable ROLINE 21.15.9480 OS2 0.5 m E-2000 (LSH) to LC, 9 µm, full duplex, yellow

ROLINE 21.15.9480 is a 0.5 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for reliable full duplex transmission. The cable features an E-2000 (LSH) connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, both with APC polished endfaces. With a 9 µm core and OS2 specification, this fibre cable is intended for high-speed optical links in telecom, data centre and network patching environments where short single-mode interconnects are required. The yellow outer jacket identifies the cable as single-mode and supports organised installation in patch panels and racks.

Advantages

The cable combines the high mechanical protection and dust shutter of the E-2000 (LSH) connector with the compact footprint of the LC connector, enabling ease of use in dense installations. APC polishing on both connectors reduces back-reflection for improved signal integrity. The OS2 single-mode construction with a 9 µm core provides low attenuation for long-distance and high-bandwidth links, while the 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in short interconnect scenarios.

Suitable for

• Short-range single-mode patching in data centres and telecom closets
• Equipment interconnects between optical transceivers and patch panels
• FTTx distribution and backbone links where OS2 performance is required
• High-density installations requiring a compact LC connector on one end

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector A: E-2000 (LSH), APC polished
• Connector B: LC, APC polished
• Transmission: full duplex
• Jacket colour: yellow (single-mode identification)

How to use

Connect the E-2000 (LSH) end to the corresponding E-2000 receptacle and the LC end to the LC port of your optical transceiver or patch panel. Ensure protective caps are removed immediately before insertion and replace caps when the cable is not in use to protect APC polished endfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius and secure the cable in cable management fixtures to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Handle APC polished connectors with care to maintain low back-reflection: keep endface caps on until connection, inspect endfaces for contamination with appropriate fibre inspection tools, and clean with approved fibre-cleaning products if needed. Use the 0.5 m length for short interconnects to reduce clutter and maintain signal performance in high-density racks.
