This Lindy 5m LC-LC OS2 fibre optic patch cable is designed for telecommunications and high-speed data connections, offering superior bandwidth for modern network demands. Its key benefit lies in the reliable, low-signal-loss ceramic connectors compatible with standard equipment. A minor caveat is its specific OS2 single-mode type, which requires matching transceivers for optimal performance. This cable features a 9/125µm core/cladding diameter, LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) construction, and a 10-year warranty.

OS2 is a standard for single-mode optical fiber designed for long-wavelength transmission (typically 1310nm and 1550nm). It uses a smaller core diameter (9µm) compared to multimode fiber, allowing light to travel in a single path, which results in lower signal dispersion and higher bandwidth over much longer distances.
No, this is an OS2 single-mode cable and is not compatible with multimode fiber optic equipment. Using them together will result in no signal or very poor performance.
LS0H stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means the cable jacket is made from materials that emit very little smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to fire, making it safer for indoor installations, especially in public areas or data centers.
While the physical length is 5 meters, OS2 single-mode fiber is designed for long-haul transmission. Depending on the specific wavelength and data rate, it can support distances from several kilometers up to 100 km or more. The 5m length is simply the provided cable length.
This Lindy fiber optic patch cable comes with a 10-year warranty.
It is crucial to keep the end faces of fiber optic connectors clean. Use a dedicated one-click fiber optic cleaner or a lint-free wipe specifically designed for fiber optics, dampened with a suitable solvent like 99% isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the connector is dry before re-inserting.
The insertion loss for this cable is rated at a maximum of 0.3 dB, indicating minimal signal attenuation through the cable and connectors.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to compatible LC ports. Check the cleanliness of the connector end faces and clean if necessary. Verify that the connected equipment and transceivers are OS2 single-mode compatible.
Inspect the cable for visible damage or excessive bends. Confirm that the insertion loss is within acceptable limits by testing with appropriate equipment if available. Ensure the cable is not routed near strong sources of electromagnetic interference, although fiber is generally immune.
Check for any debris or damage on the LC connector housing or the equipment's SFP/transceiver port. Ensure you are using the correct LC connector type and that it is aligned properly before pushing it in.
Setup: Simply connect the LC male connectors to the corresponding LC ports on your networking equipment (e.g., switches, routers, transceivers). Ensure a firm, secure connection.
Compatibility: This is an OS2 single-mode fibre optic cable. It must be used with OS2 single-mode transceivers and equipment. It is not compatible with multimode fiber optic equipment.
