StarTech.com 30m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable, 9/125 Fiber, 100Gbps Support, LSZH Jacket

StarTech 30m (98.4ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC30M is a high-performance fiber optic duplex patch cable designed for demanding 100Gbps network environments. This 30-foot LC to LC cable features single-mode OS2 fiber optimized for long-distance data transmission, supporting Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across a broad wavelength range of 1260-1625nm. Its design enhances channel isolation and minimizes signal degradation, making it suitable for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-speed server connections. The cable’s construction ensures low attenuation and reliable performance, with precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that provide accurate fiber alignment and an insertion loss below 0.3dB. The ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC connectors improve return loss characteristics, reducing signal reflection and enhancing overall transmission quality, which is critical in high-bandwidth applications. The bend-insensitive fiber core, reinforced with an Aramid jacket, allows for tight bends with a minimum bend radius of just 10mm, simplifying complex installations and reducing the risk of signal loss. This fiber optic cable is housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket, ensuring safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to high heat or fire, making it suitable for environments with strict safety and ventilation requirements. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss and performance, with test reports included, guaranteeing compatibility and dependable operation in mission-critical setups. The LC to LC connectors are color-coded and numbered for polarity and ease of installation, with the cable supporting backward compatibility with OS1 networks. Its robust construction and high micro-bend resistance make it ideal for connecting servers, switches, and other networking equipment in data centers or enterprise environments where long-distance, high-speed data transfer is essential. Whether deploying in industrial, residential, or transport settings, this cable offers a reliable, safe, and efficient solution for high-capacity fiber optic networks.
