StarTech.com 30m LC to SC Duplex OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable – 100Gbps CWDM Support

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

The StarTech.com SMLCSC-OS2-30M fiber optic patch cable is engineered for high-speed, reliable network connectivity in data centers and enterprise environments. Measuring approximately 98.4 feet, this duplex cable features LC and SC connectors with UPC polish to ensure low return loss and minimal signal degradation. Its OS2 single-mode fiber core is optimized for 100Gbps networks, supporting Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across a broad wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, which enhances channel isolation over long-distance connections.

This cable is designed with precision in mind, employing ceramic ferrules that guarantee accurate fiber alignment and an attenuation rate that exceeds industry standards at less than 0.35dB/km. The Bend Insensitive fiber core, reinforced with an Aramid jacket, allows for a minimum bend radius of just 0.39 inches (10mm), facilitating tight bends in complex installation scenarios without compromising signal integrity. The cable's construction also includes numbered connectors for easy polarity identification, making it suitable for intricate network setups.

Built with safety and environmental consciousness in mind, the LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke emissions in the event of a fire, making it ideal for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as trains, aircraft, or industrial environments. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance, with a comprehensive test report included to ensure reliability. Its compatibility with legacy OS1 networks ensures versatility across various fiber optic infrastructures, supporting seamless upgrades to higher network speeds while maintaining backward compatibility.

Designed for demanding applications, this fiber patch cord offers high micro-bend resistance and excellent performance consistency, making it perfect for connecting servers, switches, and data center equipment. The bright yellow color simplifies identification in complex cabling systems, and its environmentally friendly construction aligns with EU RoHS and WEEE standards. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this StarTech fiber optic cable guarantees durability and performance, making it a dependable choice for critical network deployments.
