Glasvezelkabel Helos 3m OS2 LC/LC

The Helos 3m OS2 LC/LC fibre optic cable is a single-mode duplex patch cable with a 3‑metre length and 9 µm core diameter designed for high-speed, long-distance data transmission. Fitted with LC connectors on both ends, it provides reliable point-to-point connectivity in networking and telecommunications environments where minimal loss and stable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This OS2 LC/LC fibre cable offers low attenuation and high bandwidth capacity suitable for single-mode links. The LC duplex connectors ensure compact, secure connections that are compatible with a wide range of switches, transceivers and patch panels. The 3 m length provides flexibility for rack and cabinet installations while maintaining neat cable management and reduced clutter.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and patch panels
• Telecommunications links and backbone cabling
• Connections between network switches and optical transceivers
• Server room rack-mounted equipment
• FTTx and long-reach single-mode applications

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Length: 3 m
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Polish: Typically UPC (standard for single-mode LC assemblies)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical insertion loss: Low (designed for minimal signal attenuation)
• Jacket: Flexible outer jacket suitable for patching in racks and cabinets

How to use

Route the Helos 3m OS2 LC/LC cable between the two optical ports ensuring the cable bend radius is not exceeded. Remove protective caps from the LC connectors before insertion and align each LC connector with the corresponding receptacle until it clicks into place. For duplex connections, maintain correct polarity by matching labeled A/B or using standard duplex orientation on both ends. When removing, depress the LC latch and gently withdraw to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of connector end-faces. Clean connectors with approved fiber cleaning tools if performance issues are detected. Avoid tight bending, excessive tension, or crushing; follow industry-standard bend radius guidelines. Use appropriate strain relief and cable management in racks and patch panels to preserve long-term performance.
