StarTech.com 2m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable – 100Gbps, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 2m (6.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC2M is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding data center and network applications. This 6.56-foot (2-meter) duplex cable features LC/UPC connectors on both ends, ensuring secure and reliable connections for 100Gbps networks. Its single mode OS2 fiber core supports extended wavelength ranges from 1260nm to 1625nm, enabling high channel isolation through Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM). This makes it ideal for long-distance links between servers, switches, and storage devices where minimal signal attenuation is critical. Crafted with precision, the cable incorporates ceramic ferrules that facilitate accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss of less than 0.3dB. The UPC-polished LC connectors significantly enhance return loss performance compared to older PC polishing techniques, ensuring cleaner signals and reduced reflection. The fiber's bend-insensitive design, reinforced by an Aramid jacket, allows for tight bends with a minimum radius of just 0.39 inches, simplifying installation in confined spaces without compromising performance. The LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jacket ensures safer operation, emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated environments such as data centers, industrial settings, and transportation applications. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss to guarantee consistent performance and reliability, with test reports provided for verification. Designed to meet industry standards, this cable exceeds industry performance benchmarks, offering low attenuation and high durability. Its color-coded connectors facilitate easy polarity identification, and the cable's bendable construction provides flexibility during complex installations. Compatible with legacy OS1 networks, this fiber optic cable offers broad versatility, supporting high-speed data transfer rates up to 100Gbps. Whether connecting high-performance computing equipment or supporting critical network infrastructure, the StarTech.com fiber optic duplex patch cable delivers exceptional quality, safety, and reliability in a compact, environmentally friendly package.
