Glasvezelkabel Helos 5m OS2 LC/ST

The Helos 5m OS2 LC/ST fibre optic cable provides a 5-meter single-mode connection designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. With a 9 µm core diameter and full duplex capability, this cable links devices using LC and ST connectors and is intended for long-distance, low-loss signal transport in structured networks, telecommunications racks, and point-to-point links.

Advantages

This single-mode OS2 cable minimizes attenuation and preserves signal integrity over longer runs compared with multimode alternatives. The LC connector on one end offers compact, high-density termination while the ST connector on the other end provides a bayonet-style coupling commonly used in legacy and industrial equipment. Full duplex support enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels for bi-directional communication. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability in data cabinets and office installations.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point connections between network switches, routers, or media converters
• Connections in telecommunications cabinets and patch panels
• Interfacing equipment with LC and ST optical ports in enterprise or industrial setups
• Fiber backbone links where single-mode OS2 performance is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 5 m
• Connector types: LC to ST
• Transmission mode: full duplex
• Typical application: long-distance, low-attenuation optical links

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered down or configured for hot-plugging according to manufacturer guidelines. Remove protective dust caps from both connectors and inspect endfaces for contamination; clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if needed. Align the LC connector with the corresponding receptacle and insert until it clicks; insert the ST connector by pushing and twisting the bayonet coupling until it seats. Verify link status through device LEDs or network management tools and monitor signal levels where available.

Recommendations

Handle the cable without sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the fibre manufacturer. Store and route the cable to avoid excessive tension, twisting, or exposure to moisture and mechanical stress. Use dust caps when ports are unused and periodically inspect connector endfaces to preserve optimal signal quality.
