StarTech.com SMLCSCOS21M OS2 Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable with LC to SC Connectors, 1 Meter

StarTech.com 1m (3.3ft) LC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SMLCSCOS21M is a high-performance duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for critical network applications supporting 100 Gbps data transmission. This OS2 single-mode fiber cable features LC and SC-UPC connectors, ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal integrity over long distances. Its design incorporates precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that align fibers accurately, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB and exceeding industry standards for low attenuation. The bend-insensitive fiber core, reinforced with Aramid layers, facilitates tight bends with a minimum bend radius of just 0.4 inches, making it suitable for complex installations where space is limited. Supporting Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across the 1260-1625nm wavelength range, this cable provides enhanced channel isolation, ideal for extending network reach while maintaining signal clarity in data centers, server rooms, or enterprise networks. The UPC-polished connectors ensure improved return loss characteristics compared to older PC polishing techniques, further enhancing connection reliability. Housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket, the cable meets strict safety standards by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire, suitable for enclosed or poorly ventilated environments such as industrial facilities, transportation, or residential buildings. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee performance, with test reports included to verify compliance. This 1-meter fiber optic patch cable is backward compatible with OS1 networks, making it versatile for mixed legacy and modern fiber infrastructures. Its environmentally friendly construction aligns with EU RoHS and WEEE directives, emphasizing sustainability and safety. Whether connecting servers, switches, or data center equipment, this cable offers reliable, high-speed data transmission with durable, safety-certified construction that ensures long-term performance and peace of mind.
