Wentronic Goobay 59656 OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable SC/APC to LC/UPC, 30 m, LSZH, Yellow

For FTTH deployments where stable, low-loss connections are non-negotiable, the Wentronic Goobay 59656 delivers a 30-metre OS2 single-mode link with SC/APC on one end and LC/UPC on the other. The angled APC polish on the SC side minimises back reflections, while the UPC polish on the LC side keeps insertion loss predictable. A yellow LSZH jacket makes the cable easy to identify in structured cabling and meets low-smoke, halogen-free safety requirements.

Highlights

• OS2 single-mode fibre, 9/125 µm core/cladding, G.657.A1/A2 compatible
• SC/APC to LC/UPC connectors with ceramic ferrules
• 30 m length, simplex construction, yellow LSZH jacket
• Typical insertion loss ≤ 0.3 dB; return loss ≥ 60 dB (APC) / ≥ 50 dB (UPC)
• Minimum bend radius 10 mm; operating temperature -20 °C to +70 °C
• RoHS and CE compliant

In daily use

This patch cable suits FTTH drops, fibre distribution hubs, and equipment cross-connects in data centres or campus networks. The LSZH jacket keeps smoke and toxic fumes low in the event of fire, which matters in public buildings and confined spaces. The yellow colour follows the conventional OS2 single-mode identification, so technicians can quickly distinguish it from multimode or copper cabling. The 30-metre length covers most floor-to-floor or rack-to-terminal runs without needing a splice.
