Ortronics 205KNF3SA-09 Lc Upc OS2 Fiber Connector 3mm

Product Description

The ORTRONICS 205KNF3SA-09 is an LC-style fiber optic connector designed for OS2 single-mode cable with a 3mm jacket diameter. It features a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish, which produces a low back-reflection termination suited for long-haul and high-bandwidth fiber runs. This connector is supplied as a discrete component for field or shop termination work and is handled by low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers. The white housing follows standard color-coding conventions for single-mode UPC fiber connectors, making polarity and fiber-type identification straightforward during installation and troubleshooting.

This connector is used in commercial and enterprise fiber infrastructure where OS2 single-mode cable is deployed. Typical applications include backbone cabling runs, data center interconnects, and telecommunications rooms where low insertion loss and minimal back-reflection are required. It is compatible with standard LC duplex panels, patch panels, and fiber adapter sleeves. The 3mm jacket compatibility makes it appropriate for standard single-mode distribution cables commonly found in structured cabling installations.

Key Features

• LC connector form factor with UPC polish for low back-reflection performance
• OS2 single-mode fiber compatibility for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications
• Accepts 3mm jacket diameter cable
• White housing follows TIA color-coding standard for single-mode UPC connectors
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering for field termination projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style termination component for OS2 single-mode fiber cable with a 3mm jacket, for use with standard LC duplex adapters and panels in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic technician familiar with field termination procedures. Proper fiber preparation, cleaving, and epoxy or crimp termination practices per TIA-568 standards should be followed. End-face polishing and inspection with a fiber optic scope are recommended before insertion to verify UPC finish quality. Do not exceed minimum bend radius for OS2 single-mode cable during routing and termination.
