StarTech.com 5m (16.4ft) LC to SC OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable – 40G/100G, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech.com 5m (16.4ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 40G/100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Jumper Cord

Enhance your high-speed network connectivity with the StarTech.com SPSMLCSC-OS2-5M, a 16.4-foot (5-meter) single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding data environments. This cable features a durable yellow LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, making it suitable for installations in confined or hazardous environments such as industrial facilities, transportation, and residential areas where fire safety standards are critical. The LSZH material emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, ensuring safer operation and compliance with safety regulations. Built with precision-engineered components, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps, making it ideal for modern storage solutions, high-performance computing, and data center applications.

The cable’s fiber core measures 9/125 micrometers, with a bend-insensitive design that maintains signal integrity even when routed through tight spaces. The fiber features Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) support across a broad wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, allowing multiple channels over a single fiber for efficient bandwidth utilization. The connectors are made with ceramic ferrules for precise fiber alignment, resulting in insertion loss below 0.3dB and improved return loss thanks to Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing. These features ensure minimal signal degradation over long distances, exceeding industry standards such as ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1. The simplex design with a male LC connector on one end and a male SC connector on the other facilitates easy integration with network devices like patch panels, SFP transceivers, and fiber NICs.

Each fiber optic cable is individually tested for insertion loss performance and comes with a detailed test report, guaranteeing compatibility and reliable performance. The passive, high-quality design ensures consistent, low-maintenance operation, supporting network device compatibility and high data transfer rates. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying new fiber networks, this StarTech.com fiber patch cable provides the durability, performance, and safety needed for critical data transmission and network reliability.
