StarTech.com SMDOS2SCSC10M fiber optic duplex patch cable for 40G/100G networks

StarTech.com 10m (32.8ft) SC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 40G/100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMDOS2SCSC10M fiber optic duplex patch cable is designed for high-performance data center and enterprise networking applications. With its OS2 single mode fiber core, this cable supports extended wavelengths from 1260 to 1625nm, enabling efficient Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) for long-distance communications. Its compatibility with 10/40/100G networks makes it ideal for connecting switches, servers, and other critical infrastructure components. The cable’s design ensures minimal signal loss, with precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules providing an insertion loss below 0.3dB, and ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing on the SC connectors enhances return loss characteristics, ensuring reliable performance over time. The bend insensitivity of the fiber core, housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket, allows for tight bends with a minimum radius of 0.4 inches, facilitating flexible installation in complex environments. Housed in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable is suitable for environments requiring fire safety compliance and reduced toxic fumes in case of fire, including industrial spaces, aircraft, and residential buildings. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss and performance, and a detailed test report is included to guarantee quality and compatibility. Designed for durability and safety, this patch cable features a bright yellow color for easy identification and is constructed with environmentally friendly materials in accordance with EU RoHS standards. The 10-meter length provides ample reach for various deployment scenarios, and the high micro-bend resistance ensures signal integrity even in tight spaces. Backward compatible with OS1 networks, the StarTech.com fiber optic cable offers a reliable, high-quality solution for demanding network environments requiring low attenuation, exceptional performance, and enhanced safety features.
