StarTech.com 5m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable - 100Gbps, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

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

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC5M is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding data center and network applications. With a length of 16.4 feet, this duplex OS2 single-mode cable is optimized for long-distance, high-speed data transmission at speeds up to 100 Gbps. Its Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) capability supports an extended wavelength range from 1260 to 1625nm, providing greater channel isolation and enhanced performance over extended distances. This makes it an ideal choice for connecting servers, switches, and storage devices in complex network environments. The cable's construction features precision-engineered ceramic ferrules and LC/UPC connectors, ensuring low insertion loss below 0.3dB and significantly improved return loss compared to older PC-polished connectors. The bend-insensitive fiber core, reinforced with an Aramid jacket, allows for tight bends down to a 10mm radius without signal degradation, facilitating flexible installations in confined spaces. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or fire, making it suitable for environments with ventilation concerns such as industrial facilities, aircraft, and residential buildings. Each cable undergoes individual testing to guarantee performance reliability, with comprehensive test reports included to ensure compatibility and compliance with industry standards. The cable's design emphasizes safety, durability, and high performance, making it an essential component for modern fiber optic networks that require robust, reliable connections over long distances. Its compatibility with OS1 networks ensures backward compatibility, while its high micro-bend resistance and color-coded connectors simplify complex installations. This fiber optic patch cord supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps, making it suitable for data centers, high-speed storage solutions, and enterprise networks seeking maximum throughput and minimal signal loss.
