Wentronic Goobay 59587 OS2 Single-mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable LC/APC to LC/APC, 5 m, White

In FTTH installations, technicians and network engineers often need a reliable, low-loss connection between the optical network terminal and the wall outlet. This 5-meter OS2 single-mode patch cable with LC/APC connectors on both ends delivers exactly that. The angled polished connectors reduce back reflections, ensuring stable signal quality for high-speed internet, IPTV, and VoIP services. The white LSZH jacket blends discreetly into residential environments and meets strict fire safety standards.

Key specifications

Why choose it

The LC/APC connectors with angled polish minimize back reflection, which is critical for high-power and sensitive optical systems. The OS2 fiber supports wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, making it future-proof for current and next-generation PON networks. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no toxic halogens in case of fire, enhancing safety in homes and offices. Its simplex construction is lightweight and easy to route through tight spaces.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) to a fiber wall outlet in FTTH deployments
• Patching between fiber distribution panels and active equipment in data centers
• Testing and troubleshooting fiber links with optical power meters or OTDRs
• Extending existing LC/APC connections in residential or commercial buildings

Good to know

The cable is compliant with RoHS and CE directives, ensuring environmental and safety standards. It comes in a 5-meter length, ideal for most indoor installations where a bit of slack is needed. The white color helps it blend with walls and baseboards, maintaining a clean look. Always inspect connectors for cleanliness before use to maintain optimal performance.
