LSH APC to LSH APC Simplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

Network installers should begin with the actual mating interfaces and site fiber records before assigning this product to a link. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LSH APC interface on one end and a LSH APC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a full product. The single-fiber structure suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any channel that carries traffic over one strand.

Product Highlights

• G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius
• Precision Zirconia Ferrule Connectors Ensure Low Loss
• Flame-Retardant Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Ensures Safety in Indoor Environments
• Color-Coded Cable Jacket for Easy Identification
• Ideal for Unidirectional Data Transmission

The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Because mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and can damage the ferrules, the patch side must match the adapter panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the optical connector housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Leads pathway through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in this cable assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; therefore, a hurried routing decision during a night upkeep window will not turn into a measurable penalty on the channel.

Regular lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), with project-specific length obtainable beyond the list. Specifying the measured pathway length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the optical connectors.

Every assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The optical cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result obtainable on ask for.

Refer to this arrangement by connector pair, fiber mode and length when asking for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, marking or project packaging, send the specification with the request and the factory will check the build before manufacturing. Project support is available to reconcile the ordered configuration with the intended installation.
