Glasvezelkabel Helos 2m OS2 LC/LC

The Helos 2m OS2 LC/LC fibre optic cable is a single-mode duplex patch cable engineered for high-speed, long-distance data transmission. With a 2 metre length and a 9 µm core diameter, the cable uses OS2-grade single-mode fibre to reduce attenuation and maintain signal integrity across connections. Terminated with LC connectors on both ends, the Helos cable provides compact, reliable interfacing for switches, transceivers and optical patch panels in professional networking environments.

Advantages

The cable offers low insertion loss and low back reflection consistent with OS2 single-mode standards, supporting stable full-duplex communication. LC/LC terminations ensure a small form-factor connection suitable for high-density racks and modules. Constructed for consistent optical performance, the cable minimizes signal degradation over the 2 m span while simplifying installation and cable management.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting optical transceivers in data centre racks
• Patch panel to switch or router optical links
• Short-span single-mode connections in enterprise networks
• Optical testing setups and lab equipment connections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Length: 2 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Polish: UPC (typical for low return loss in single-mode LC)
• Mode: Full duplex

How to use

Route the Helos 2m OS2 LC/LC cable between two compatible optical ports, ensuring both ends are matched to LC connectors and the transceivers or patch panel ports are designed for single-mode operation. Before connecting, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Insert each LC connector into the port until the latch engages; confirm link status on the connected devices. Avoid tight bends and tension on the cable to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable following standard fibre optic care: keep connectors capped when not in use, use a fibre-friendly cable radius (avoid bends tighter than manufacturer guidance), and perform endface cleaning before mating to reduce insertion loss and prevent damage to transceiver ports.
