StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC8M LC/LC Single Mode Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cable, 8 Meters

StarTech.com 8m (26.2ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2LCLC8M is a high-performance LC to LC duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for critical data center and enterprise network connections. Crafted with precision-engineered components, this 8-meter (26.2-foot) cable supports high-speed 100Gbps network environments and is optimized for long-distance data transmission using OS2 single mode fiber. It features Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology across an extended wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, enabling greater channel isolation and reducing crosstalk for reliable performance over extensive distances. This makes it an excellent choice for connecting switches, servers, and other data center equipment where signal integrity and minimal interference are paramount. The cable's design includes fiber with a bend insensitivity feature, housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket, allowing for a minimum bend radius of just 10mm, which simplifies complex installations without compromising performance. The LC/LC-UPC connectors are precision-polished for superior return loss, ensuring a cleaner signal and lower attenuation, with values guaranteed below industry standards.

Safety and durability are central to this product’s design. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures emissions of low toxic fumes, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as data centers, transportation, and industrial environments. Each fiber optic cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss, and a detailed test report confirms its performance, offering peace of mind and guaranteed compatibility. The cable's construction emphasizes quality, with numbered and color-coded connectors to facilitate easy polarity identification, and the fiber core is optimized for low attenuation, with a value below 0.35dB/km. This ensures minimal signal loss over long distances, supporting robust network performance. The StarTech.com fiber optic patch cable is also backward compatible with OS1 networks, providing flexibility for existing infrastructure. Its environmentally friendly design complies with EU RoHS and WEEE standards, emphasizing sustainability. This reliable, high-quality fiber cable is ideal for high-bandwidth applications, data center interconnects, and complex network architectures, supporting seamless, long-distance, high-speed data transfer with enhanced performance and safety features.

Whether upgrading an existing network or deploying a new infrastructure, the SMDOS2LCLC8M offers a dependable solution for demanding enterprise and industrial environments, ensuring optimal signal integrity and compliance with industry standards.
