Belden Inc. FPSLALA00M5 OS2 Fiber Patch Cable Lc Lc 0.5m

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FPSLALA00M5 is an OS2 single-mode fiber optic patch cable with LC to LC duplex connectors and a 0.5-meter length. OS2 single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance, low-loss optical transmission, making this cable a reliable interconnect for structured cabling systems, data centers, and telecom enclosures. The LC duplex configuration provides a compact, high-density connector footprint suited for high-port-count patch panels and active equipment. Licensed installers and low-voltage cabling technicians typically specify this cable for backbone and horizontal runs where signal integrity over distance is a priority.

This patch cable is suited for data center interconnects, server room fiber runs, and telecom room cross-connects where OS2 single-mode infrastructure is in place. The LC to LC duplex format aligns with standard SFP and SFP+ transceiver ports found on switches, routers, and fiber media converters. It is sold as an individual cable unit and is appropriate wherever a short 0.5-meter jumper is needed to connect adjacent equipment or patch panel ports.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction for low-loss, long-distance optical transmission
• LC to LC duplex connector configuration for high-density patching environments
• 0.5-meter length suited for short equipment-to-panel or port-to-port jumps
• Compact LC connector footprint compatible with standard SFP and SFP+ transceivers
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OS2 single-mode LC duplex patch cable for use with fiber patch panels, switches, routers, and transceivers that accept LC duplex single-mode connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of fiber optic patch cables should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 standards. Inspect connector end-faces for contamination before mating and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if needed. Never bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and avoid sharp kinks or pinch points during routing. Power down optical transceivers or use appropriate attenuators when working near active fiber ports to protect eyes from laser emission.
