Cables Direct FB2S-LCLC-020YD 2m OS2 LC Cable

Slow network speeds can cripple your office workflow, especially when you need reliable, high-capacity links between switches or servers. The Cables Direct FB2S-LCLC-020YD 2m OS2 LC Cable is a single-mode fibre optic cable that delivers fast, interference-free data transmission over a 2 m run, perfect for connecting equipment in tight spaces.

Usages of a 2 m LC Cable

Ideal for patching between rack-mounted devices, linking fibre-to-ethernet media converters, or extending connections in data centres where space is limited, this short LC cable fits neatly into standard equipment bays and provides a clean, high-speed link.

Benefits of Cables Direct LC Cable

• High bandwidth: Transmits large amounts of data quickly, keeping your applications responsive.
• Low loss: 0.30 dB insertion loss ensures signal strength stays strong over the whole length.
• Safety: LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke, protecting staff in case of fire.
• Compatibility: LC/UPC connectors match most modern networking hardware for easy installation.
• Durability: Halogen-free construction resists harsh environments and lasts longer.

Cables Direct LC Cable Choice

Choosing this fibre optic cable means you get a professional-grade solution without the complexity of larger runs. The OS2 single-mode design supports wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, giving you flexibility for current and future network upgrades. Its 9 µm core and 125 µm cladding deliver consistent performance, while the yellow LSZH jacket makes it easy to identify and safe to use in confined spaces.

Unlike generic copper cables, this fibre link offers superior speed and immunity to electromagnetic interference, meaning you can trust it for critical data transfers. The male-to-male LC connectors provide a secure, low-profile connection that simplifies cable management and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection.
