Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 9/125µm OS2 2.0m

The Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 9/125µm OS2 2.0m is a single-mode duplex fiber patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. Its 9/125µm core and OS2 classification provide low attenuation over longer distances compared with multimode alternatives. The LC/LC connectors in a uniboot housing support a compact duplex connection that simplifies routing and saves space in crowded patch panels and fiber trays.

Advantages

The uniboot LC/LC duplex design reduces cable bulk by combining two fibers into a single jacket with a split near the connectors, which simplifies cable management in racks and panels. The 9/125µm single-mode fiber with OS2 specification offers reduced signal loss for long-reach links and is compatible with standard single-mode networking equipment. The 2.0 m length is suitable for common intra-rack and short inter-rack connections while maintaining consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Office backbone connections and structured cabling systems
• Telecommunications closets and equipment racks
• Fiber optic test setups and short-distance links requiring single-mode performance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode, 9/125µm
• OS classification: OS2
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex (uniboot)
• Cable length: 2.0 m
• Design: duplex patch cable with uniboot jacket for compact routing

How to use

Route the Helos uniboot patch cable between LC ports on network devices such as switches, transceivers and patch panels, ensuring connector orientation matches the required transmit/receive configuration. Insert LC connectors until they click into the adapter or port. Avoid bending the cable below its specified minimum bend radius and secure the cable in trays or management clips to prevent strain on connectors. For installation in populated panels, use the compact uniboot housing to maintain neat, space-efficient routing.

Recommendations

Handle connectors by the body and keep end faces clean; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Maintain gentle curves and avoid tight bends to preserve optical performance. Verify link performance with suitable test equipment after installation.
