ROLINE InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m OS2 E-2000 (LSH) to LC, 9 µm, full duplex

ROLINE InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m OS2 E-2000 (LSH) to LC, 9 µm, full duplex is a single-mode patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed optical links. The cable uses OS2 single-mode fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and provides full duplex transmission between devices. One end is fitted with an E-2000 (LSH) connector featuring a high-protection latch and secure coupling, while the opposite end uses an LC connector. Both connectors are APC polished to minimise back-reflection and support low-loss signal transfer in demanding network environments such as data centres and telecom racks.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines single-mode OS2 performance with APC-polished connectors to reduce return loss and maintain signal integrity over longer distances. The E-2000 (LSH) connector offers enhanced protection and a secured latch mechanism that reduces the risk of accidental disconnection and contamination. The LC connector provides a compact footprint suitable for high-density patch panels and network modules. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and optical modules in data centres
• Telecom rack connections and patch panels requiring single-mode fibre
• InfiniBand and high-speed networking links that require APC-polished connectors
• Long-reach point-to-point links within buildings or campus networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 5 m
• Connector A: E-2000 (LSH), APC polished
• Connector B: LC, APC polished
• Transmission: full duplex
• Jacket: suitable for indoor data centre and rack use (standard patch cable construction)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination before installation and clean with a suitable fibre optic cleaning tool if necessary. Insert the E-2000 (LSH) connector into the matching E-2000 adapter until the latch secures the connection, then plug the LC connector into the corresponding LC port or adapter. Ensure proper cable routing to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fibre. Verify link status and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment, cap unused connectors, and perform end-to-end testing after installation. Use APC-compatible transceivers and adapters to preserve low return loss and avoid mixing APC and UPC terminations in the same optical link.
