StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC5M OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable for 100Gbps Networks

StarTech.com 5m (16.4ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC5M is a high-performance fiber optic duplex patch cable designed for critical data center and enterprise networking applications. This 5-meter (16.4-foot) cable features LC to LC connectors with ultra physical contact (UPC) polish, providing improved return loss and signal integrity. Engineered with bend-insensitive OS2 single-mode fiber, it supports long-distance transmissions with minimal attenuation, making it suitable for high-speed, high-bandwidth environments that demand reliable connectivity. The cable's design includes a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, ensuring safer installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas such as data centers, industrial settings, or transportation systems. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing for insertion loss performance, and a detailed test report is included for quality assurance, guaranteeing compatibility and durability in demanding network infrastructures. Supporting Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) over an extended wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, this cable ensures enhanced channel isolation for optimized signal quality across long distances. Its construction includes numbered, color-coded connectors for polarity identification and a reinforced Aramid jacket that withstands tight bends with a minimum bend radius of just 0.4 inches. Certified under the EU RoHS and WEEE directives, this environmentally friendly cable combines performance with sustainability, making it an ideal choice for modern data networking. Whether connecting servers, switches, or other data center equipment, the StarTech.com fiber optic patch cable delivers low attenuation (under 0.35dB/km), high micro-bend resistance, and backward compatibility with OS1 networks, ensuring seamless integration into existing setups. Its robust design and industry-leading standards compliance make it a reliable solution for high-speed data transmission in various professional environments.
