Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 9/125µm OS2 1.0m Yellow

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 9/125µm OS2 1.0m Yellow is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable built for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. The duplex LC/LC Uniboot design reduces connector bulk by combining two fibers into a single compact boot, while the 9/125µm core/cladding dimensions and OS2 specification make the cable suitable for long-distance, low-attenuation links. At 1.0 m length and a distinct yellow jacket, the cable is intended for organized rack and cabinet connections where identification and space efficiency matter.

Advantages

The cable offers compact duplex connectivity with LC/LC connectors in a uniboot configuration, minimizing space at patch panels and transceivers while maintaining separate transmit and receive channels. The 9/125µm single-mode fiber with OS2 rating ensures low insertion loss and high return loss performance appropriate for long-reach optical links. The yellow outer jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable environments, and the use of quality materials supports stability and durability under normal installation conditions.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between network switches, routers, and optical transceivers within data centers
• Patch panel to active equipment connections in telecom and enterprise networks
• Structured cabling runs requiring compact duplex LC terminations and easy identification

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC/LC duplex, Uniboot configuration
• Fiber type: single-mode, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Optical class: OS2 (single-mode, optimized for long distance)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Jacket color: yellow (standard for single-mode fiber identification)

How to use

Route the cable along defined cable management paths and avoid tight bends that exceed the fiber’s minimum bend radius. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on the patch panel or transceiver until it clicks; the uniboot design keeps the two fibers together while keeping transmit and receive channels distinct. Verify proper connection by checking link status and measuring optical loss with appropriate test equipment if required. For removal, depress the LC latch and gently withdraw the connector to avoid stress on the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in dry, dust-free environments and keep connector end faces protected with dust caps until final connection. When deploying in dense racks, use appropriate cable organizers to prevent excessive bend and mechanical strain. For critical or long-distance links, perform optical loss testing to confirm compliance with site requirements.
