StarTech.com 2m LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable, 40G/100G, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 2m (6.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 40G/100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SPSMLCLCOS22M is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding 40G and 100G network applications. This 6.56-foot (2-meter) simplex OS2 single-mode fiber cable features LC to LC (UPC) connectors, providing reliable, high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss. Engineered for precision, it incorporates ceramic ferrules that ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB, which exceeds industry industry standards. The Bend Insensitive fiber core housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket allows for tight bends with a minimum radius of 10mm, facilitating flexible installation in space-constrained environments. The cable's construction supports bi-directional (BiDi) transmission over a single fiber, making it ideal for modern, high-density data centers and enterprise networks.

Designed with safety and environmental considerations, the cable is housed in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket that emits low toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire. This feature makes it suitable for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as industrial facilities, transportation, or residential areas where building code compliance is critical. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss and performance, with test reports included to guarantee reliability and compatibility. The connector ends feature ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing, which enhances return loss and signal integrity over traditional PC-polished connectors, ensuring optimal performance over extended distances.

The StarTech.com fiber optic cable supports a broad wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, compatible with CWDM technology, which improves channel isolation for clearer signals. Its backward compatibility with OS1 networks provides versatility for legacy systems, while the high micro-bend resistance facilitates complex routing and installation in tight spaces. The cable's construction and performance make it suitable for connecting storage devices, network switches, patch panels, and fiber NICs, supporting data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps. With a lifetime warranty, this fiber optic patch cord combines durability, safety, and top-tier network performance, making it a reliable choice for critical network infrastructure.
