StarTech.com 30m LC to SC Duplex OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 100 Gbps, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 30m (98.4ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com 30-meter LC to SC duplex fiber optic patch cable is engineered for high-performance network connections in data centers, enterprise environments, and critical infrastructure. Designed with OS2 single-mode fiber, it provides reliable, high-speed data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding applications such as 100G Ethernet and CWDM systems. This cable’s construction ensures minimal signal loss and exceptional durability for long-distance runs, supporting wavelengths from 1260nm to 1625nm to maximize channel separation and network efficiency.

Featuring precision-engineered ceramic ferrules and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished ends, this fiber patch cable guarantees low insertion loss below 0.3dB and improved return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques. The bend-insensitive fiber core is reinforced with an Aramid layer, allowing for a loaded bend radius of just 0.4 inches (10mm), which facilitates tight bends without compromising signal integrity. Its rugged, polypropylene jacket is Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) compliant, ensuring safety in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire. Each cable is individually tested for insertion loss performance, and a detailed test report confirms its guaranteed compatibility and reliability.

This fiber optic patch cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices, supporting backward compatibility with OS1 networks. Its high micro-bend resistance makes it well-suited for complex installations where tight bends are unavoidable. The cable terminates with LC connectors on one end and SC/UPC connectors on the other, both polished for superior return loss. The numbered connectors help maintain proper polarity during installation, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. Its environmentally friendly LSZH jacket makes it suitable for applications where safety and regulatory compliance are priorities, including industrial, residential, and transportation environments.

Whether connecting servers, switches, or storage devices in data centers or bridging critical links in enterprise networks, this fiber optic patch cable delivers robust performance, low attenuation, and a lifetime warranty. Its high-quality construction and rigorous testing process mean you can rely on its performance over the long term, even in harsh conditions. With a cable length of approximately 98 feet, it provides ample reach for most rack-to-rack or device-to-device connections, ensuring flexible deployment options without sacrificing signal integrity.
