e-link 50m 12-core LC/LC outdoor armored single-mode fibre optic cable

SKU CH-6HMK-52ZNY

A 50-metre outdoor armoured single-mode fibre cable with 12 LC/UPC cores, LSZH low-friction jacket and 0.3 dB insertion loss

  • 12-core single-mode cable fits dense patch panels
  • 25 mm ceramic ferrules give 0.3 dB insertion loss
  • LSZH low-friction jacket eases long conduit pulls
  • Armored construction withstands 225 N short-term tension
  • Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C outdoor use

50-metre 12-core single-mode fibre

This 50-metre outdoor armoured cable carries twelve single-mode fibres terminated with LC/UPC connectors. It suits campus links, building-to-building runs and dense patch panels where a single jacket must serve multiple circuits. The LSZH sheath meets low-smoke requirements for indoor transitions.

Sustained-load behaviour

Insertion loss is specified at 0.3 dB and return loss at 50 dB across the 1310 nm and 1550 nm windows. The G.657.A2 fibre, compatible with G.652.D, is bend-insensitive so loss remains stable when the cable is routed through tight trays or pushed through congested conduits. Ceramic ferrules rated for more than 1000 mating cycles keep performance consistent after repeated patching.

Thermals noise and power

The cable operates from -40 °C to 85 °C without active cooling, so it generates no noise and draws no power. Long-term tensile load is rated at 120 N and short-term at 225 N, while the 6.0 mm inner diameter and 7.0 mm outer diameter allow installation by pushing or pulling without exceeding mechanical limits.

Questions about this item

Does the 6.0 mm armored jacket add noticeable heat or power draw when the cable runs continuously?

No — it is a passive fibre cable with no electrical components, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of how long it operates.

What equipment must I already have to terminate the 12 LC/UPC connectors on this 50 m OS2 cable?

You need patch panels, switches or media converters fitted with 12 LC/UPC ports and single-mode optics that accept 9/125 µm fibre.

Will the G.657.A2 fibre in this cable splice cleanly to the older G.652.D plant I already have in the duct?

Yes — the cable uses G.657.A2 fibre that is fully backward-compatible with G.652.D, so fusion splicing or connector mating works without extra loss.
