StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC25M LC to LC Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 25 ft for 100G Networks

StarTech.com 25m (82ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125µm, 10G, LSZH Fiber Patch Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC25M fiber optic patch cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity for data centers and enterprise networks. Designed with OS2 single mode fiber, this 25-foot cable supports 100Gbps bandwidth and extended wavelength operation from 1260 to 1625 nanometers, making it ideal for long-distance links and applications utilizing Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM). Its compatibility with legacy OS1 networks ensures seamless integration into existing infrastructures. The cable features precision-engineered ceramic ferrules and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing on LC connectors, resulting in low insertion loss and superior return loss characteristics, which are essential for maintaining signal integrity over extended distances. The bend-insensitive fiber core reinforced with Aramid fibers allows for a minimum bend radius of just 0.4 inches (10mm), facilitating tight bends in complex installations without compromising performance. The cable’s LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes during a fire, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated environments such as data centers, industrial facilities, and transportation systems. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss, and a test report is included to guarantee performance and compatibility. This durable, yellow polypropylene jacket is environmentally friendly and features color-coded, numbered connectors to easily identify polarity and simplify installation. The design also ensures high micro-bend resistance, supporting robust connections even in tight spaces. Whether connecting servers, switches, or other network equipment, this fiber optic patch cord offers a reliable, high-quality solution for demanding network environments.
