StarTech.com 50m LC to SC Duplex OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 100G Support, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 50m (164ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMLCSCOS250M is a 50-meter (164 feet) duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-performance network environments. Featuring LC to SC (UPC) connectors, this OS2 single-mode fiber cable is optimized for 100Gbps data transfer rates and long-distance transmissions. Its Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) capability supports an extended wavelength range from 1260nm to 1625nm, enabling greater channel isolation and improved signal integrity over extended distances. This makes it ideal for connecting servers, switches, and data center equipment in demanding network infrastructures.

Constructed with quality materials, the cable boasts precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in a low insertion loss below 0.3dB. The bend-insensitive fiber core is housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket, allowing for a minimum bend radius of just 10mm without signal degradation. The UPC polishing on the LC and SC connectors enhances return loss characteristics compared to older PC polish methods, ensuring cleaner signal transmission. The cable's low attenuation value of less than 0.35dB/km exceeds industry standards, providing reliable performance in complex installation environments.

Safety and environmental compliance are prioritized with a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket that emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire. This feature makes it suitable for use in enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces such as data centers, industrial settings, or transport environments like trains and aircraft. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance and includes a detailed test report, guaranteeing compatibility and dependable operation. The cable's design supports high micro-bend resistance, allowing for tight bends necessary in space-constrained installations, while its backward compatibility with OS1 fiber networks ensures versatility across legacy systems. The 50-meter length provides ample flexibility for various deployment scenarios, from data centers to enterprise networks.

Manufactured by StarTech.com, this fiber optic patch cable combines durability, safety, and high-speed data transfer capabilities. Its yellow color and color-coded connectors facilitate easy identification and proper polarity management. The cable's environmentally friendly construction aligns with WEEE directives, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices. With a lifetime warranty, the SMLCSCOS250M guarantees long-term reliability for mission-critical network applications.
