Optický patch kabel helos 216666 OS2 9/125µm SC-SC Duplex 0,5 m

Fiber Optic Patch Cable helos 216666 OS2 9/125µm SC-SC Duplex 0.5 m is a short-distance single-mode duplex patch cord designed for stable, low-loss fiber links. The cable uses OS2 9/125µm single-mode fiber optimized for long-wavelength transmission and low attenuation. Both ends are terminated with compact SC duplex connectors to provide reliable mating with standard SC ports in patch panels, network switches or optical transceivers. The 0.5 m length makes this patch cable suitable for close-proximity connections in server racks and equipment cabinets where neat cabling and minimal signal loss are required.

Advantages

This helos duplex patch cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss typical of OS2 single-mode fiber, ensuring consistent signal quality for high-speed optical links. The SC-SC duplex connectors provide secure push-pull mating and easy plug-and-play installation. A short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack, simplifies rack management and minimizes potential bend-related attenuation in tight spaces. The cable construction supports stable physical connections and is intended for repeated mating cycles in patch panel environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting equipment within server racks and cabinets
• Connecting patch panels to optical transceivers or switches
• Short-distance single-mode fiber links in data centers and telecom closets
• Laboratory and test setups requiring standardized SC duplex connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OS2 single-mode, 9/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector types: SC duplex on both ends
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Mode: Single-mode duplex
• Typical use: Short patching between devices and panels

How to use

Ensure fiber ports are clean before mating by inspecting and, if necessary, cleaning connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Align and insert the SC duplex connectors into the corresponding SC adapters or ports until the push-pull latch engages. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain bend radius recommendations for single-mode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Recommendations

Store the patch cable in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Avoid twisting or tightly coiling the cable; use gentle loops and secure with cable ties that do not compress the jacket. Regularly inspect connector endfaces and clean before reconnecting to maintain low insertion and return loss.
