OS2 Duplex 5-Metre Link

This is a single-mode OS2 duplex patch cable with LC/APC connectors on each end, built on genuine Corning 9/125 µm fiber. It is intended for network engineers and data-center installers who need a reliable 5-metre (16 ft) jumper for switch-to-switch, server-to-switch or backbone links in enterprise and SAN environments.

Distance and Standard Limits

The cable supports 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G single-mode Ethernet links such as 10GBASE-LR and 100GBASE-LR4 over long distances. The OS2 specification and yellow LSZH jacket confirm suitability for in-building and data-center runs, but maximum reach is defined by the transceiver standards, not by the cable itself.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that both ends of your link use LC/APC ports with the same single-mode polish, because mixing APC with UPC increases return loss. Confirm the transceivers are rated for single-mode operation at the desired speed and that the 5-metre length fits your rack or cabinet layout without excess slack.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for a 5-metre run between rack-mounted switches?

The cable is supplied at 5 m (16 ft), matching a 5-metre rack-to-rack link exactly.

What throughput can I expect when this cable connects two 100GBASE-LR4 transceivers?

It supports 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G single-mode links, so a 100GBASE-LR4 connection will run at its full line rate over this length.

How does the LC/APC duplex interface limit the link distance in practice?

The LC/APC duplex connectors on 9/125 µm OS2 fiber are rated for long-reach standards such as 10GBASE-LR and 100GBASE-LR4, so distance is governed by the transceiver specification rather than the patch cord itself.
