Belden Inc. FPSLDLD003ML OS2 Lc Lc Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FPSLDLD003ML is a single-mode OS2 fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It provides a low-loss optical link between active equipment ports in structured cabling, data center, and telecommunications applications. The cable ships as a single assembly at 3 meters in length, making it suited for rack-to-rack or patch panel-to-switch connections where short, managed runs are required. Licensed electricians, low-voltage cabling technicians, and data center infrastructure teams are the primary installers.

This patch cable is used in single-mode fiber infrastructure deployments, including enterprise data centers, telecom rooms, and campus backbone interconnects. The OS2 single-mode designation indicates it is designed for long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission using a narrow-core fiber optimized for laser light sources. The LC duplex connector format is widely adopted in SFP and SFP+ transceiver ports found in switches, routers, and fiber channel storage equipment. At 3 meters, this assembly fits comfortably within standard equipment rack bay spacing.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction for long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for direct connection to SFP and SFP+ ports
• 3-meter assembly length suited for short intra-rack or inter-rack runs
• Factory-terminated and tested assembly eliminates field polishing and cleaving
• Sold as a single cable unit for precise quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cable for OS2 single-mode fiber infrastructure utilizing LC duplex port interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed electrician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Before connecting, inspect both LC ferrules and clean with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool to prevent insertion loss from contamination. Do not bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, and avoid pinching or kinking the jacket during routing. Fiber optic cabling in commercial installations is typically governed by ANSI/TIA-568 standards; verify compliance requirements before deployment.
