StarTech.com 25m LC to SC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH

StarTech.com 25m (82ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMLCSCOS225M fiber optic patch cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity for data centers, server rooms, and network installations. Designed with a length of approximately 82 feet, this duplex fiber cable supports 100Gbps data transfer rates, making it suitable for demanding applications such as high-bandwidth network links and storage device connections. Its OS2 single mode fiber core is engineered for low attenuation and superior performance over long distances, ensuring your network maintains integrity and speed across extended spans. The cable's Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) capability across 1260-1625nm enhances channel isolation, reducing crosstalk and improving overall signal quality in complex network environments.

Constructed with precision-engineered components, this cable features ceramic ferrules that ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC and SC connector ends improve return loss characteristics compared to traditional PC polishing techniques. Its bend-insensitive fiber core, reinforced with an Aramid jacket, allows for tight bends with a minimum radius of only 10mm, facilitating flexible installation in confined spaces. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides increased safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire, making it suitable for installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas such as industrial settings or aircraft.

This fiber optic cable is individually tested for performance, with each unit supplied along with a detailed test report. Its compatibility with OS1 networks ensures backward compatibility, and the high micro-bend resistance supports complex routing and tight bends without signal degradation. The connectors are clearly numbered to indicate polarity, simplifying installation and maintenance. The cable's yellow color signifies its single mode fiber type, and its polypropylene jacket enhances durability and environmental compliance. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this patch cable ensures long-term reliability for critical network infrastructure and high-performance applications.
