User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber is used in this patch cable?
This cable uses OS2-grade single mode fiber with 9/125µm core/cladding dimensions. OS2 fiber is specifically optimized for laser-optimized applications and supports extended wavelength ranges from 1260-1625nm, making it suitable for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) systems and high-speed 10G, 40G, and 100G network deployments.
What connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
Both ends feature SC connectors with Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish. Each end has two male SC connectors in a duplex configuration, providing separate transmit and receive paths. The UPC polish delivers improved return loss performance compared to standard Physical Contact (PC) connectors, minimizing signal reflection for cleaner optical transmission.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This OS2 single mode fiber patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for current high-speed network standards including 100G Ethernet. The cable is backward compatible with lower-speed applications such as 10G and 40G networks, providing flexibility for mixed-speed environments and future upgrades.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke if combusted. This safety feature makes the cable suitable for enclosed spaces, poorly ventilated areas, and data centers where fire safety is a priority. The LSZH construction meets multiple environmental standards including RoHS 2, REACH, and WEEE directives.
What is the bend radius of this fiber optic cable?
The cable features a loaded bend radius of 10mm (0.39 inches) thanks to its bend-insensitive fiber technology and aramid-reinforced construction. This tight bend capability allows for flexible routing in crowded racks and cabinets without compromising optical performance or cable integrity, making installation in confined spaces more manageable.
What devices is this patch cable compatible with?
This SC to SC fiber optic patch cable is compatible with network devices, servers, switches, and storage equipment that support single mode fiber connections with SC interfaces. It's ideal for data center interconnects, SAN/NAS storage connections, telecommunications equipment, and any application requiring reliable single mode fiber connectivity between optical transceivers or network ports.
