StarTech.com 5m LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable – 16.4ft, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

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

The StarTech.com SPSMLCLCOS25M is a high-performance fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding 40G and 100G network environments. This 16.4-foot (5-meter) simplex OS2 single mode fiber optic cable features LC to LC (UPC) connectors, providing reliable, high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss. Engineered for both legacy and modern networks, it is backward compatible with OS1 systems, ensuring versatile deployment across various infrastructure setups. The cable's core is built with bend-insensitive fiber technology, allowing tight bends without compromising signal integrity, which is critical in space-constrained installations or complex routing scenarios. The ceramic ferrules ensure precise fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB and improved return loss over older polishing techniques, maintaining optimal performance over long distances. The cable's low attenuation characteristics, exceeding industry standards, support high data transfer rates up to 100Gbps, making it an ideal choice for high-bandwidth applications. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, suitable for enclosed environments like data centers, transportation, or residential installations. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing for insertion loss, and a detailed test report is included to guarantee compatibility and reliability. This passive, fiber optic patch cord is designed for seamless integration with network devices such as SFP transceivers, patch panels, and fiber NICs, supporting bi-directional transmission over a single fiber. Its high micro-bend resistance and rugged Aramid-reinforced jacket ensure durability and performance in demanding conditions, making it a dependable choice for mission-critical network infrastructure. Whether for point-to-point connections or complex fiber deployments, the StarTech.com OS2 simplex fiber optic cable offers a combination of safety, performance, and flexibility in a compact, lightweight package.
