StarTech.com 2m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable, 40G/100G, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech 2m (6.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 40G/100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SPSMLCLC-OS2-2M fiber optic patch cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity for demanding 40G and 100G network environments. This 2-meter (6.6-foot) simplex OS2 single mode fiber cable is designed for optimal performance in long-distance data transmission, supporting Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) over an extended wavelength range of 1260-1625nm. It ensures superior channel isolation and minimal signal loss, making it ideal for enterprise data centers, telecommunications, and high-bandwidth applications. The cable's construction includes precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that guarantee accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss of less than 0.3dB. The ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC to LC connectors significantly improve return loss characteristics compared to older PC-polished connectors, enhancing signal integrity. The bend-insensitive fiber core, enclosed within a low-refractive index cladding, reduces micro-bending losses and allows for tight bends, facilitating flexible and space-efficient installations. These features collectively ensure the cable meets or exceeds industry standards such as ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1, providing low attenuation and high performance. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire, making it suitable for use in confined or sensitive environments like industrial facilities, aircraft, trains, or residential buildings where safety compliance is critical. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance and includes a detailed test report to guarantee reliability and compatibility. Designed for bi-directional transmission, this simplex fiber cable supports point-to-point links, single-fiber NICs, and SFP transceivers, making it a versatile and future-proof choice for high-speed network deployments. The cable's high micro-bend resistance and robust construction ensure durability and performance even in complex or space-constrained installations. Backward compatibility with OS1 networks provides added flexibility, extending the cable's usability across various legacy systems. With a lifetime warranty, StarTech.com's fiber optic patch cable offers peace of mind in critical network infrastructure applications, combining safety, performance, and reliability in a single, easy-to-install solution.
