StarTech.com 3m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 100Gbps, Low Loss

StarTech.com 3m (9.8ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC3M is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding 100Gbps network environments. This 9.8-foot (3-meter) duplex cable features LC/UPC connectors on both ends, ensuring reliable and efficient connections between servers, switches, and data center equipment. Engineered with bend-insensitive OS2 fiber, it offers superior performance in tight spaces and complex installations while maintaining low attenuation for long-distance transmission. Its compatibility with CWDM wavelengths spanning 1260-1625nm makes it ideal for extended channel isolation across extensive network setups.

Constructed with precision ceramic ferrules, this cable guarantees accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss of less than 0.3dB. The LC/UPC end faces are polished to UPC standards, providing improved return loss and minimized signal reflection, which enhances overall network stability. The fiber core is reinforced with Aramid to withstand micro-bending and stress, and housed within a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for environments where fire safety and low toxic fumes are priorities. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance and includes a detailed test report, ensuring guaranteed performance and compatibility.

Designed with safety and reliability in mind, this fiber optic patch cable supports high-speed data transfer with a rate of up to 100Gbps. Its robust construction offers a loaded bend radius of just 10mm, facilitating installation in confined spaces without compromising integrity. The yellow color coding indicates its single-mode OS2 classification, and the cable's lightweight polypropylene material adds to its durability. Whether for data centers, enterprise networks, or industrial environments, this cable provides a dependable solution for high-bandwidth, long-distance fiber optic connectivity.
