Optický patch kábel EQUIP E2000/APC na E2000/APC 0,50 m Singlemode OS2

Fibre optic patch cable EQUIP E2000/APC to E2000/APC 0.50 m Singlemode OS2 is a short singlemode jumper with E2000/APC connectors on both ends, designed for OS2 optical fibre. The 0.50 m length is suitable for close-range interconnects in telecom racks, data centre patch panels and laboratory setups. The angle-polished APC terminations minimise back-reflection and support stable low-loss point-to-point links where singlemode performance is required.

Advantages

This fibre optic patch cable provides low insertion loss and excellent return loss thanks to the APC polished E2000 connectors and OS2 singlemode fibre. The compact 0.50 m length reduces excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy cabling in dense installations. Both connector housings are keyed for correct orientation and provide repeatable mating performance for frequent patching and testing operations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short interconnects between optical equipment in rack-mounted systems
• Patch panel connections in data centres and central offices
• Laboratory measurements and test setups requiring stable singlemode links
• Optical transceiver to bulkhead or adapter mating where APC polish is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: E2000 with APC angle polish on both ends
• Fibre type: Singlemode OS2
• Length: 0.50 m
• Typical performance: low insertion loss and high return loss characteristic of APC terminations
• Cable jacket: flexible jacket suitable for patching and short-distance routing
• Operation: designed for indoor telecom and data centre environments

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the E2000/APC connector key with the adapter or equipment port and gently insert until the connector latches. Avoid sharp bends; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for singlemode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. For temporary test connections, handle connectors by the housing to avoid contaminating the ferrule endface. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating to ensure optimal optical performance.

Recommendations

Store unused patch cords in protective bags or reels and keep end caps in place when not connected. Use a fibre inspection microscope and industry-standard cleaning procedures before each connection to maintain low loss and low back-reflection associated with APC-polished connectors.
