StarTech.com 3m SC to SC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 40G/100G, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 3m (9.8ft) SC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 40G/100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2SCSC3M is a high-performance 3-meter (9.8 feet) duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding network environments. Engineered with SC to SC (UPC) connectors and supporting OS2 single-mode fiber, this cable is optimized for high-speed 40G and 100G data transfer rates, making it ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and storage solutions. Its design ensures minimal signal attenuation and excellent performance over long distances, thanks to precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules and bend insensitive fiber core technology. These features collectively provide a low insertion loss of less than 0.3dB, ensuring reliable and high-quality data transmission.

This fiber optic patch cable is equipped with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire. This safety feature makes it suitable for installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, including industrial settings, transportation environments, and residential buildings that require compliance with strict safety standards. The cable's construction incorporates Aramid reinforcement, enabling it to withstand tight bends with a minimum bend radius of only 10mm, facilitating flexible and complex routing in tight spaces.

Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss to guarantee consistent performance and reliability. The connectors are polished with Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) technology, offering improved return loss characteristics compared to traditional PC-polished connectors. Number-labeled connectors help maintain proper polarity during installation. Whether used for connecting servers, switches, or other data center equipment, this patch cable ensures high compatibility and durability. Backward compatible with OS1 networks, it supports a broad range of legacy and modern optical fiber systems. With a lifetime warranty, the StarTech.com fiber optic patch cable provides peace of mind along with exceptional performance for critical networking applications.
