Cable de fibra óptica Helos 5 m OS2 LC/LC

The Helos 5m OS2 LC/LC fibre optic cable provides a 5-meter singlemode connection with a 9 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends for full duplex transmission. Designed for long-distance, low-loss optical links, this cable supports stable high-speed data transfers in structured cabling, telecom and data centre environments where singlemode OS2 performance is required.

Advantages

This OS2 fibre cable delivers low attenuation and high return loss for minimal signal degradation over longer distances compared with multimode alternatives. The LC/LC connector pair offers compact, industry-standard terminations that are compatible with a wide range of networking equipment. The 5 m length balances reach and cable management, reducing the need for additional patching while enabling tidy installation in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network equipment in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panel connections in office and telecom closets
• Long-distance singlemode links within buildings or between close campus sites
• Optical transceiver to switch or router connections requiring LC interfaces

Key specifications

• Fibre type: singlemode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector types: LC to LC (duplex)
• Length: 5 m
• Polishing: UPC/APC dependent on connector endface (confirm before installation)
• Cable structure: duplex patch cable suitable for rack and panel use

How to use

Connect each LC connector firmly into the corresponding LC port on network devices or patch panels, ensuring proper orientation and click engagement. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage to the fibre. For installation, route the cable through appropriate cable management channels or trays, secure with Velcro straps or cable ties in locations that do not compress the cable, and keep connectors clean by using protective dust caps until final mating.

Recommendations

Before deployment, verify the connector polish type and perform an inspection with a fibre microscope if high-performance links are required. Use fibre cleaning tools to remove contaminants from connector endfaces. For permanent installations, document link endpoints and test optical loss to confirm the link meets system requirements.
