Product identity

This is a 16 ft OS2 single-mode fibre optic cable with duplex LC/LC connectors and a 9/125 micron core/cladding. The yellow PVC jacket is OFNR riser rated for vertical runs between floors. Insertion loss is under 0.3 dB and return loss exceeds 50 dB. UPC polish on both ends ensures low back-reflection for reliable links.

Suitable users and mismatches

Network installers needing a riser-rated duplex patch cord for long-distance single-mode links will find the length and connector format appropriate. The 2.0 mm jacket suits high-density patch panels where space is limited. Builders who require multi-mode fibre, armoured cable, or a different connector type such as SC or MTP should look at other products. Anyone needing a plenum-rated jacket must choose an alternative.

Capacity and headroom

The cable supports fast Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet over distances well beyond typical copper limits. Duplex construction provides separate transmit and receive strands for full-duplex operation. Low insertion loss preserves signal budget across the 16 ft span. For runs exceeding the available length or for higher strand counts, additional cables or a different assembly will be required.

Questions about this item

Do I need equipment with LC ports to use this duplex LC-to-LC cable?

Yes. The cable has two LC connectors, so both connected devices must provide LC receptacles.

Will this 9/125 µm single-mode cable work with my existing 50/125 µm multi-mode patch cords?

No. The 9/125 µm single-mode core differs from 50/125 µm multi-mode, so mixing them creates excessive loss.

How can I confirm the link is performing to the rated <0.3 dB insertion loss after installation?

Use a single-mode light source and power meter; a measured loss at or below 0.3 dB confirms the link meets spec.
