StarTech.com 15m LC to SC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable with Low Insertion Loss

StarTech.com 15m (49.2ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMLCSCOS215M fiber optic patch cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity for data centers, server rooms, and network installations. Designed with 9/125-micron OS2 single mode fiber, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding applications such as 100G networks and long-distance communication. Its Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) capability across a wavelength range of 1260-1625nm enhances channel isolation and signal quality over extended distances, ensuring optimal performance even in complex network environments. The cable's construction includes precision-engineered ceramic ferrules for accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC and SC connectors improve return loss characteristics compared to older PC-polished connectors, providing clearer signals and reduced signal degradation. The bend-insensitive fiber core, reinforced with an Aramid layer, allows for tight bends with a minimum radius of 10mm, facilitating flexible routing in confined spaces. Additionally, the cable is housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to heat or fire, making it suitable for enclosed or industrial environments where safety is paramount. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss and performance, with test reports included for guaranteed reliability and compatibility. Whether you're connecting servers, switches, or storage devices, this fiber optic patch cable ensures secure, high-speed data transmission with industry-leading standards and safety features. Its durable design and compliance with environmental directives make it an ideal choice for modern network infrastructures requiring longevity and safety.
