InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 0.5m is a short-length duplex fiber patch cable designed for single-mode optical connections. Built with a 9 µm core and OS2 fiber type, the cable supports full duplex communication and low attenuation for reliable high-speed data transmission in environments such as data centers, server rooms and telecommunication racks. LC connectors on both ends provide a compact, industry-standard interface compatible with many transceivers, switches and optical patch panels.

Advantages

This 0.5 m LC/LC duplex cable delivers low insertion loss and stable signal integrity over short distances. Its LC connectors offer space-saving density and a secure snap-fit for consistent mating. The OS2 single-mode construction reduces modal dispersion and is suitable for long-reach optical networks when used in appropriate link budgets. The short length minimizes excess fiber slack in crowded racks and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnecting transceivers and switches in data centers and server rooms
• Patching between optical distribution frames and patch panels
• Connecting fiber-optic network equipment in telecommunications racks
• Short-reach single-mode links requiring duplex LC termination

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Mode field diameter suitable for 9/125 µm fiber systems
• Polarity: Duplex (full duplex communication)

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors for cleanliness before insertion; use a fiber inspection tool or lint-free wipes with approved cleaning fluid if necessary. Align each LC connector with the adapter or transceiver port and push until the latch clicks, ensuring a secure physical connection. Observe proper polarity when connecting transmit and receive ports to maintain duplex communication. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fiber. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent excess strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep insertion loss and return loss within the guidelines of your network equipment. Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum specification, store connectors with dust caps when not in use, and perform regular inspection and cleaning in accordance with standard fiber optic maintenance procedures.
