StarTech.com 20m LC to SC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100Gbps, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 20m (65.6ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMLCSC-OS2-20M fiber optic patch cable offers reliable high-speed connectivity for data centers, enterprise networks, and critical server interconnections. Designed with industry-leading standards, this 20-foot duplex cable supports 100Gbps data transfer rates and is optimized for long-distance transmission using Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) over an extended wavelength range of 1260-1625nm. Its single-mode OS2 fiber core ensures minimal signal attenuation over long runs, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications requiring consistent, low-loss performance.

Engineered with precision, this cable features ceramic ferrules that guarantee precise fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB. The ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing of LC and SC connectors enhances return loss characteristics, ensuring superior signal integrity. The bend-insensitive fiber core, housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket, provides high flexibility and resistance to micro-bending, enabling tight bends with a minimum radius of 0.4 inches without compromising performance. Additionally, the cable's low refractive index cladding reflects light efficiently back into the fiber, reducing signal loss and supporting industry standards such as ITU-T G652.D and IEC60703-2-50.

Safety and environmental considerations are addressed with the LSZH jacket, which emits low smoke and toxic fumes in the event of exposure to heat or fire. This feature makes the cable suitable for installation in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, including industrial environments, transportation systems, and residential settings where fire safety compliance is critical. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss and performance, with a detailed test report included to guarantee compatibility and reliability. The numbered connectors indicate polarity, simplifying installation and maintenance tasks. This fiber optic patch cord supports backward compatibility with OS1 networks, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure, and is constructed from high-quality polypropylene for durability and environmental friendliness.
