Belden Inc. FPSLALA005MR1XY OS2 Fiber Patch Cable Lc Lc

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FPSLALA005MR1XY is an OS2 single-mode fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It is designed for low-loss fiber optic interconnections in structured cabling systems, data centers, and telecommunications closets. At 5 meters in length, it bridges patch panels, fiber switches, and active equipment within equipment racks or across short runs. Licensed electricians, low-voltage contractors, and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers. The OS2 single-mode designation means this cable supports long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission with minimal attenuation, making it suitable for backbone and high-density fiber environments.

This patch cable is suited for commercial and enterprise environments where single-mode fiber infrastructure is already in place. Typical applications include connecting fiber transceivers in switches or routers to patch panels, cross-connecting fiber distribution frames, and linking optical network equipment in server rooms and data centers. The LC duplex format is common in modern high-density fiber installations where space at the connector panel is limited. It ships as a single assembly ready for immediate installation.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction for low-attenuation, long-distance signal paths
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for high-density panel compatibility
• 5-meter cable length suitable for within-rack and short cross-connect runs
• Ready-to-install factory-terminated assembly
• Single unit per package for straightforward procurement of exact quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with LC duplex fiber ports in single-mode OS2 fiber optic networks and structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed electricians with fiber optic cabling experience. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables, power down or disable active optical transceivers where possible to avoid eye-safety hazards from live laser sources. Clean LC ferrules with an approved fiber optic cleaning tool before mating connectors to avoid insertion-loss penalties. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for fiber infrastructure work.
