Glasvezel-patchkabel EQUIP E2000/APC naar LC/APC 20 m SM duplex OS2 geel

Fibre optic patch cable EQUIP E2000/APC to LC/APC 20 m SM Duplex OS2 Yellow is a single‑mode duplex cable engineered for low‑loss, low‑reflection optical connections in telecommunication and data communication environments. The cable features an E2000/APC connector on one end and an LC/APC connector on the other, with OS2 graded single‑mode fibre and a yellow outer jacket for standard identification. Its APC angled polish reduces back reflection, making it suitable for long‑distance links, precise patch panel work and rack installations where signal integrity matters.

Advantages

The angled physical contact (APC) terminations minimize return loss and help maintain stable signal quality across long runs. Duplex construction provides separate transmit and receive paths for bidirectional communication while preserving compact routing in racks and cable trays. The use of OS2 single‑mode fibre ensures low attenuation over extended distances, and the combination of E2000 and LC connectors supports compatibility with a wide range of equipment and patch panels. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in mixed cable environments.

Suitable for

• Long‑distance single‑mode links in telecom and carrier networks
• Data center patch panels and top‑of‑rack connectivity
• High‑precision optical test setups and laboratory connections
• FTTx distribution where APC terminations are required
• Interconnection between equipment using E2000/APC and LC/APC ports

How to use

Connect the E2000/APC end to the corresponding E2000/APC port and the LC/APC end to the LC/APC port on your equipment or patch panel, ensuring proper orientation and firm seating without excessive force. For duplex operation, align transmit and receive channels according to the system labeling. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and secure it with appropriate cable management to prevent strain at connector interfaces. Inspect connector endfaces for contamination before connection and clean with suitable fibre‑optic cleaning tools if necessary.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust‑free environment; when not in use, protect connector endfaces with dust caps. Use APC‑specific adapters or ports to retain the low back‑reflection performance. For installations in racks or conduits, maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius and provide strain relief to extend service life.
