Black Box 6.5ft OS2 LC-LC Singlemode Fiber Optic Patch Cable (Yellow)

Overview

The Black Box EFN310-002M-LCLC is a 6.5-foot singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed to deliver reliable high-speed data transmission over longer distances than typical multimode cables. Featuring OS2 9/125 micron glass fiber, it maintains a low insertion loss of approximately 0.2 dB, ensuring clean signal integrity at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. This cable is well suited for backbone connections, storage networks, and carrier-class equipment interconnects where stable and efficient optical links are essential.

Key features

• OS2 singlemode fiber supports extended distance runs beyond multimode capabilities, making it ideal for backbone and long-haul connections.
• LC connectors on both ends provide a compact form factor that fits densely populated patch panels and desktop adapters, saving valuable rack space.
• The PVC jacket with an OFNR fire rating allows safe installation in vertical riser spaces, meeting building safety codes.
• The yellow outer sheath clearly identifies the cable as singlemode, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
• Low insertion loss of about 0.2 dB helps preserve signal strength and reduces the chance of data errors.
• Optimized for use at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, supporting common telecom and data center applications.
• Wide operating temperature range from -4 to 158 °F ensures reliable performance in typical wiring closets, data center aisles, and office environments.
