StarTech.com SMLCSCOS215M LC/SC Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable 15 ft for 100G Networks

StarTech.com 15m (49.2ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMLCSCOS215M is a high-performance duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for critical networking applications. With its LC to SC connectors and OS2 single mode fiber core, this cable supports ultra-fast data transmission rates up to 100Gbps, making it ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-bandwidth backbones.

Engineered with precision, this cable features ceramic ferrules that ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss of less than 0.3dB. The UPC-polished LC and SC connectors provide superior return loss characteristics, reducing signal degradation over long distances. The bend-insensitive fiber core is surrounded by an Aramid-reinforced jacket, allowing for a minimum bend radius of just 0.39 inches without compromising performance. This rugged design enables tight routing in complex installations while maintaining low attenuation and high reliability.

Safety and environmental considerations are integral to the StarTech.com fiber optic cable. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke emission in the event of a fire, making it suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated environments such as data centers, trains, and aircraft. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing for insertion loss performance, and a detailed test report is included to guarantee compatibility and consistent performance. With a length of 15 feet, this cable offers flexible deployment options while supporting CWDM wavelengths from 1260nm to 1625nm, providing extended channel isolation for long-distance applications.

Designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission, this fiber optic patch cable is backward compatible with OS1 networks, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Its high micro-bend resistance facilitates complex routing and tight bends without signal loss, optimizing network efficiency. The yellow color coding helps in easy identification and organization in multi-cable setups, and the numbered connectors assist in maintaining proper polarity during installation. This cable is environmentally friendly, compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives, and comes with a lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind for mission-critical applications.
