Fiberkabel Helos 2 m OS2 SC/SC

The Helos 2m OS2 SC/SC fibre optic cable is a singlemode patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission over a 2-metre distance. It uses SC connectors on both ends and a 9 µm core diameter optical fibre compliant with OS2 singlemode characteristics. The cable supports full duplex communication and is intended for use in structured cabling, network racks, patch panels and device interconnections where singlemode performance and low attenuation are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers low attenuation and stable singlemode transmission characteristics over the 2 m length, enabling consistent signal integrity for long-reach network links when used within larger singlemode systems. The SC/SC connector pair provides a push-pull coupling with reliable mechanical retention and repeatable mating, while the 9 µm core ensures compatibility with OS2 singlemode equipment. The cable’s form factor and connector type make it straightforward to install in rack-mounted environments and patch panels without additional adapters when SC interfaces are used.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between network switches, servers and patch panels in data centres
• Singlemode links in telecommunication and enterprise network infrastructure
• Full duplex fibre connections for high-bandwidth applications
• Structured cabling runs where a 2 m pre-terminated cable is convenient

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 singlemode
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: SC on both ends (SC/SC)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Mode: Singlemode, suitable for full duplex links
• Cable jacket: suitable for indoor patching (standard patch cable jacket)

How to use

Ensure both transceivers or ports are powered down or set to the appropriate link state before making connections when possible. Align the SC connectors with the corresponding ports and insert until the connector latches. For full duplex operation use one fibre for transmit and the other for receive according to the port labelling; verify correct polarity if the link does not come up. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and strain on the connectors; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for singlemode fibre to prevent increased attenuation or damage. After connection, check link status indicators and run any required diagnostics or optical power checks to confirm correct signal levels.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of connector endfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, perform visual inspection and cleaning of ferrules with appropriate fibre cleaning tools, and avoid sharp bends or crushing forces during installation to maintain optimal singlemode performance.
