StarTech.com SPSMLCLC-OS2-5M LC/LC Single Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 5 Meters

StarTech.com 5m (16.4ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Cable, 9/125, 40G/100G, Low Insertion Loss, LSZH Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com SPSMLCLC-OS2-5M fiber optic patch cable offers high-performance connectivity for demanding 40G and 100G network environments. Engineered with precision manufacturing, this LC to LC simplex cable features ceramic ferrules that ensure accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polishing on the fiber ends significantly improves return loss, enhancing signal integrity over long distances. The bend-insensitive OS2 single-mode fiber core is protected by an Aramid-reinforced jacket, allowing for a loaded bend radius of just 0.39 inches, making it ideal for space-constrained installations and complex fiber runs. The cable's low attenuation value of under 0.35dB per kilometer surpasses industry standards, providing reliable, high-quality signal transmission in critical network setups.

The cable's LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safer installations in environments with limited ventilation, such as industrial settings, trains, aircraft, and residential buildings. It emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire, complying with strict safety regulations. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance, and a detailed test report is included, guaranteeing compatibility and performance. Designed for bi-directional (BiDi) transmission over a single fiber, this simplex cable supports 40G/100G data rates, making it suitable for high-speed backbone connections, point-to-point links, and fiber NICs or SFP transceivers.

With a length of 16.4 feet, this yellow fiber optic patch cable is constructed from environmentally friendly materials and is compliant with the EU RoHS and WEEE directives. Its high-quality LC/LC-UPC connectors ensure minimal signal loss and excellent return loss, maximizing network efficiency and reliability. Whether used in data centers, industrial facilities, or enterprise networks, the SPSMLCLC-OS2-5M cable provides a durable, safe, and efficient solution for high-bandwidth fiber optic connections.
