StarTech.com 3m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable - 100Gbps CWDM Support, Low Loss, LSZH Jacket

StarTech 3m (9.8ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC3M fiber optic patch cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity for demanding data center and network applications. Designed with OS2 single mode fiber, this 3-meter (9.8-foot) duplex cable supports 100Gbps data transmission and is optimized for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across a wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, ensuring superior channel isolation over long distances. Its compatibility with legacy OS1 networks guarantees versatile deployment in mixed environments, making it an essential component for upgrading existing infrastructure.
This cable features precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC connectors provide improved return loss characteristics over older PC polish methods, which contributes to maintaining signal integrity during extended use. The bend-insensitive fiber core, encased in an Aramid-reinforced jacket, allows for tight bends with a minimum radius of 0.4 inches, facilitating flexible installations in confined spaces. The construction adheres to industry standards such as ITU-T G652.D and IEC60703-2-50, ensuring optimal performance with low attenuation levels typically under 0.35dB/km.
Housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket, this fiber cable minimizes toxic fumes and smoke emissions during a fire, making it suitable for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated environments such as data centers, trains, or aircraft. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance, with a comprehensive report included to guarantee compatibility and reliability. The color-coded connectors help ensure correct polarity during installation, while the high micro-bend resistance supports complex routing needs without performance degradation.
Engineered for safety, durability, and high-speed data transfer, the StarTech.com fiber optic cable is an ideal choice for connecting servers, switches, and other data center equipment requiring robust, long-distance optical links. Its environmentally friendly design complies with EU RoHS and WEEE directives, making it an environmentally responsible solution for modern network infrastructure.
