5 m OS2 Duplex Fibre Cable

This five-metre single-mode duplex cable carries two fibres terminated with LC/UPC connectors. It is built for long-haul data links and telecom infrastructure where OS2 glass is required.

Suited for campus backbones and metro spans

Installers running extended single-mode links between buildings or equipment rooms will use this cable. It is not for short-reach multimode patches or for any connection that needs an angled-polish APC ferrule.

OS2 single-mode glass type

The cable uses OS2 specification fibre, which determines the reach and attenuation budget for single-mode transceivers. Match the glass type to the optics you are deploying.

Questions about this item

What connectors does the 5m OS2 duplex cable use?

It uses LC/UPC connectors on both ends for single-mode duplex connections.

How do you install the LC duplex cable without damaging the ferrules?

Remove the dust caps, align the keyed LC connectors with the transceiver ports, and push until they click; avoid twisting the ferrules.

When should the OS2 duplex patch cord be replaced?

Replace it if the LC ferrules are scratched, contaminated, or if insertion loss exceeds your link budget.
