StarTech.com SPSMLCLCOS210M LC/LC Single Mode OS2 Fiber Optic Patch Cable – 10 Feet, Yellow, for 40G/100G Networks

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

The StarTech.com SPSMLCLCOS210M is a high-performance LC to LC single mode fiber optic patch cable designed for demanding data center and enterprise network environments. Engineered with precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules, this cable ensures accurate fiber alignment, resulting in an insertion loss below 0.3dB, which preserves signal integrity over long distances. Its ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC connectors provide improved return loss characteristics, reducing signal reflection and enhancing overall network reliability. The bend-insensitive core, surrounded by a low refractive index layer, allows for tight bending radii of just 0.39 inches (10mm), making it ideal for space-constrained installations without compromising performance. This cable supports bi-directional transmission over a single fiber, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as 40G and 100G networks and is backward compatible with OS1 systems, ensuring versatility across legacy and modern infrastructures. The OS2 fiber core is housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket, providing enhanced durability and resistance to micro-bends, which helps maintain low attenuation levels even in complex routing scenarios. The cable's yellow LSZH jacket emits low smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, including industrial, transportation, and residential environments. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance, with a detailed test report included to guarantee reliability and compatibility. This 10-foot fiber optic patch cord is an essential component for high-speed data networks, offering low attenuation, high performance, and safe installation features, making it an excellent choice for connecting single-fiber networking devices such as SFP modules, NICs, and patch panels.
