Fibre optic cable ROLINE 21.15.9481 OS2 9 µm 1 m E-2000 (LSH) to LC yellow

Single-mode fibre optic patch cable ROLINE 21.15.9481, 1 m length, OS2 fibre with 9 µm core diameter. This full-duplex cable features an E-2000 (LSH) connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, both with APC polish for low back reflection. The yellow jacket identifies it as single-mode, and the construction is intended for telecom, datacentre and high-speed data link applications that require low insertion loss and stable single-mode performance.

Advantages

The cable combines a secured LSH-style E-2000 connector with a compact LC connector, offering reliable mating and minimal optical loss. APC-polished endfaces reduce return loss, improving signal integrity in single-mode links. Its 9 µm core OS2 fibre is optimized for long-distance transmissions and dense network environments. The 1 m length provides a tidy, low-latency connection for patching between equipment or within racks.

Suitable for

• Telecom and carrier single-mode backbone links
• Datacentre patching and equipment interconnects
• High-speed optical transceivers and SFP/GBIC connections
• Optical test setups and laboratory measurements

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 1 m
• Configuration: Full duplex (simplex cable with two connectors for a single channel)
• Connector A: E-2000 (LSH), APC polished
• Connector B: LC, APC polished
• Jacket colour: Yellow (single-mode identification)
• Connector polish: APC for low back reflection

How to use

Connect the E-2000 (LSH) end to the corresponding female E-2000 port and the LC end to the LC adapter or transceiver. Ensure that protective caps are removed before insertion and that connectors are clean to avoid contamination. Align connectors carefully and insert until a positive latch or click is felt on the mating adapter. For disconnection, depress the latch on the connector and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Recommendations

Keep connector end faces covered with protective caps when not in use, and clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. Avoid excessive bending of the cable; follow the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre to maintain attenuation performance. Use APC-to-APC connections where low return loss is required.
