Belden Inc. FPSLDLD008M OS2 Lc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable 8M

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FPSLDLD008M is an OS2 singlemode fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It provides a low-loss optical interconnect for structured cabling systems, data centers, and telecommunications closets. The OS2 singlemode fiber designation indicates compatibility with long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission over a tight-buffered or loose-tube plant. At 8 meters in length, this cable is suited for within-rack or cross-connect runs. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades handling this assembly.

This patch cable is used in singlemode fiber distribution frames, patch panels, and active equipment ports that accept LC duplex connectors. Typical applications include inter-rack connections in data centers, fiber-to-the-desk horizontal runs, and campus backbone patch points. The 8-meter length covers longer intra-room runs where standard short-length assemblies fall short. It is appropriate for both commercial and enterprise network environments where OS2 singlemode infrastructure is in place.

Key Features

• OS2 singlemode fiber construction for long-distance, high-bandwidth optical transmission
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for tool-free, push-pull engagement
• 8-meter cable length suits extended intra-room and inter-rack runs
• Pre-terminated factory assembly eliminates field termination and associated insertion-loss variability
• Sold as a single unit (EA), ready for immediate installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install assembly for OS2 singlemode fiber optic patch panels, switches, and media converters equipped with LC duplex ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure installers familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Always inspect connector end-faces with a fiber inspection scope before mating, and clean connectors with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool prior to insertion. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to prevent attenuation or physical damage. Reference TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling installation standards.
