InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 7.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 9/125µm OS2 7.5m is a singlemode duplex patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed optical connections. With a 9 µm core diameter and OS2 specification, the cable supports low-attenuation transmission for long-distance links. Both ends are terminated with LC connectors in a duplex configuration, enabling full-duplex communication between networking equipment, transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This fiber cable offers singlemode performance with a small 9/125 µm core-cladding structure to minimize signal loss and dispersion over long runs. The LC/LC duplex termination provides compact, secure connections suitable for dense patching environments. The OS2 rating indicates the cable is optimized for long-distance and outdoor-influenced installations where low attenuation and stable singlemode behavior are required. The 7.5 m length provides flexibility for many rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment links without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting singlemode transceivers and SFP/SFP+ modules in data centers and telecom racks
• Patch panel to network switch or router links in structured cabling
• Long-distance indoor runs where OS2 singlemode performance is needed
• Server-to-switch full-duplex optical connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode
• Core/cladding diameter: 9/125 µm
• Specification: OS2 (singlemode, optimized for long distance)
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Polishing type: typically UPC or equivalent low-reflection polish (industry standard for OS2 singlemode)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Mode: duplex (two fibers for full-duplex communication)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation to ensure they are clean and undamaged. Route the cable following standard cable management practices, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain a bend radius recommended for singlemode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on network devices, transceivers or patch panels until they click into place. Verify link status using the devices' indicators and, if necessary, test optical performance with a power meter or OTDR to confirm expected loss and continuity.

Recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating, and secure the cable to prevent tension or crushing. For critical or long-distance links, verify loss budgets and perform end-to-end testing to ensure compliance with network requirements.
