StarTech.com 3m LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable - 40G/100G Network Compatibility

StarTech 3m (9.8ft) 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-OS2-3M fiber optic patch cable is engineered for high-performance single mode connectivity in demanding network environments. Designed with precision LC/LC-UPC connectors, this 3-meter (approximately 9.8 feet) simplex cable supports data transmission speeds of up to 100Gbps, making it ideal for modern 40G and 100G network deployments. Its OS2 fiber core ensures minimal signal attenuation over long distances, providing reliable performance for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-bandwidth applications. The cable supports bi-directional (BiDi) transmission and is backward compatible with OS1 networks, offering flexibility in diverse legacy and future-proof setups. The bend-insensitive fiber core combined with Aramid reinforcement allows for tight bends as small as 10mm, facilitating complex installations in space-constrained environments. The ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in insertion loss below 0.3dB and enhanced return loss performance, especially with UPC polishing. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides added safety by emitting low smoke and toxic fumes during a fire, suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as data centers, trains, or aircraft. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss and performance, with comprehensive test reports provided to ensure reliability and industry compliance. This fiber patch cable is constructed with environmentally friendly materials, meeting standards such as EU RoHS and WEEE, and features a bright yellow jacket for easy identification. Its high micro-bend resistance and low attenuation (under 0.35dB/km) make it a robust choice for demanding network environments, supporting point-to-point connections or integration with fiber optic NICs and SFP transceivers. Whether used for high-speed data transfer or complex fiber deployments, this StarTech.com fiber optic cable offers durability, safety, and exceptional performance to meet your networking needs.
