Optický patch kabel EQUIP E2000/APC na LC/APC 3,00 m singlemode duplex OS2

Fibre optic patch cable EQUIP E2000/APC to LC/APC 3.00 m singlemode duplex OS2 is a factory-terminated duplex singlemode jumper designed for low-loss optical connections in telecom and data centre environments. One end of the cable features an E2000/APC connector while the opposite end uses an LC/APC connector, providing compatibility between devices and patch panels that require angled physical contact (APC) terminations. The OS2 fibre type ensures optimized performance for long-distance singlemode links and reduced attenuation across standard wavelength ranges.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable combines two APC-terminated connector types in a single, ready-to-use lead, enabling direct connection between equipment with mixed interface standards without additional adapters. The use of OS2 singlemode fibre minimises insertion loss and back reflection, supporting stable signal transmission across longer distances. The 3.00 m length is suitable for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel patching while maintaining manageable cable routing and bend behaviour typical for singlemode simplex/duplex assemblies.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and optical line modules that require APC terminations
• Patching between E2000/APC ports and LC/APC ports in patch panels and distribution frames
• Singlemode backbone links and rack cabling in telecom and data centre installations
• Testing and temporary links where a 3.00 m duplex lead is needed

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 singlemode (duplex)
• Connector A: E2000/APC (angled physical contact)
• Connector B: LC/APC (angled physical contact)
• Length: 3.00 m
• Polish type: APC for both connectors to reduce back reflection
• Cable configuration: duplex, jacketed for standard indoor use
• Typical application: low-loss singlemode optical patching

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces and protective caps before installation; remove caps only at the moment of connection to avoid contamination. Route the duplex cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Insert the E2000/APC connector into the corresponding E2000/APC port and the LC/APC connector into the LC/APC port until secure. Verify link integrity and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after making the connection.

Recommendations

Use fibre cleaning tools or lint-free wipes with approved cleaning fluid on connector endfaces before connection. Store the cable with protective caps fitted when not in use. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius and do not subject the lead to crushing or repeated tight flexing to maintain optical performance.
