Patchbox fibre optic cable LC‑LC 1.8 m OS2 OFC full duplex, core 9 µm, yellow

PATCHBOX® Cassettes are modular cassette units designed for use with PATCHBOX® frames (Plus+ or 365). Each cassette contains a patented internal mechanism that organises and protects fibre connections inside network cabinets. This specific cassette uses a 1.8 m OS2 single‑mode optical fibre patch lead with LC connectors on both ends, a 9 µm core diameter and a yellow jacket, suitable for single‑mode backbone and interconnect links in data centres and server racks.

Advantages

The cassette integrates a space‑saving, patented cable management mechanism that reduces strain on connections and keeps fibres routed and accessible. It is equipped with RoHS‑conform optical fibre using Corning® fibres that offer high bend insensitivity, and is available with LC‑LC full‑duplex termination for straightforward connection to single‑mode equipment. The modular design allows placement in PATCHBOX® Frames for a clean, serviceable cabinet layout.

Suitable for

• Data centre single‑mode backbone and patching
• Server rack interconnects and cabinet fibre management
• High‑speed InfiniBand and fibre channel links requiring single‑mode OS2 performance

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single‑mode
• Connector type: LC‑LC full duplex
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Jacket colour: yellow
• Compliance: RoHS‑conform optical fibre

How to use

Install the PATCHBOX® Cassette into a compatible PATCHBOX® Frame (Plus+ or 365) according to the frame instructions. Route the LC‑terminated patch lead from the cassette to the equipment ports, connect the LC connectors to the corresponding single‑mode ports, and secure any excess cable within the cassette mechanism to prevent strain. Verify optical continuity and link performance after installation.

Recommendations

Use in controlled cabinet environments and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by the fibre manufacturer; perform testing after installation to confirm low loss and correct polarity for full‑duplex single‑mode links.
