StarTech.com SMLCSCOS25M LC/SC Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable

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

The StarTech.com SMLCSCOS25M LC to SC single mode duplex fiber optic patch cable is engineered for high-performance network connections over long distances. Designed with precision, this cable supports Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across an extended wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, ensuring optimal channel separation and signal integrity. Its compatibility with 100G networks makes it an ideal choice for connecting servers, switches, and data center equipment in demanding environments. The cable is backward compatible with OS1 networks, providing flexibility for legacy fiber systems. Crafted with laser-optimized 9/125 micrometer single mode fiber, it offers low attenuation and high reliability, exceeding industry standards such as ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 B1.3/B6.a1. The ceramic ferrules guarantee precise fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB, while the Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing enhances return loss characteristics. The Bend Insensitive fiber core is surrounded by a low refractive index layer that reduces light escape, maintaining signal strength over extended distances. Housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket, this cable emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes during exposure to heat or fire, making it suitable for industrial, residential, and transportation environments where safety and compliance are critical. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing for insertion loss performance and includes a detailed test report, ensuring dependable compatibility and performance. Whether for data centers, enterprise networks, or critical infrastructure, this fiber optic patch cable provides a reliable, safe, and efficient solution for high-speed data transmission.
