Optični kabel Helos 10m OS2 SC/SC

The Helos 10m OS2 SC/SC fibre optic cable is a single-mode patch cable designed for reliable long-distance data transmission. With a 10-metre length and SC male connectors on both ends, this cable uses an OS2 optical fibre with a 9 µm core diameter to support full-duplex links between networking equipment. The yellow jacket and standard SC terminations make it suitable for organised rack and cabinet installations in data centres and telecom environments.

Advantages

This Helos fibre optic cable provides low attenuation and stable signal quality over extended runs thanks to the OS2 single-mode fibre construction. The SC/SC connectors offer a push-pull coupling that ensures consistent mating and ease of handling during installation. The 10 m length reduces the need for additional patching hardware while maintaining flexibility for routing inside racks or across technical rooms.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and optical transceivers in data centres
• Long-distance single-mode links in telecom or campus networks
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames requiring SC terminations
• Full-duplex optical connections for network equipment

When it may not be suitable

This cable is single-mode (OS2) and therefore not optimal for short-distance multimode environments that use OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 fibres or for systems expecting LC, ST, or MPO connector types. It is not intended as a direct replacement for copper Ethernet or Power over Ethernet applications.

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Fibre type: Single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector A: SC male
• Connector B: SC male
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the cable through cable management channels or raceways to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert the SC connectors into the corresponding SC ports on transceivers, patch panels or network devices until the connector clicks into place. Verify link status and perform optical power or continuity tests to confirm correct installation. For best performance, maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the installer or standards and keep connector endfaces clean before mating.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment supports single-mode OS2 fibre and SC connector interfaces
• Ensure 10 m length matches routing and cable management requirements
• Check required optical loss budget for your link and any additional patching

Recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, perform endface cleaning with appropriate fibre cleaning tools, and document link tests after installation. For fibre network changes, plan for splice or patch panel locations to minimise additional losses.
