Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable meets OS2 standards for single-mode fiber, offering superior performance with an attenuation value under 0.35dB/km and insertion loss of ≤0.3dB. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish on the LC connectors provides improved return loss of ≥55dB compared to PC polish, reducing signal reflection and ensuring stable network connections.
The cable features a 2mm outer diameter with a loaded bend radius of 10mm (0.39 inches), thanks to its bend-insensitive fiber core housed in an Aramid-reinforced jacket. This construction provides high micro-bend resistance, making it suitable for complex installations where cables must navigate tight spaces without compromising signal integrity.
Key Product Advantages
This fiber optic cable combines advanced technical specifications with robust construction to deliver reliable performance in high-speed network environments. The individually tested design guarantees performance, with a test report included for verification, ensuring compliance with industry standards and reducing installation risks.
EMI Immunity and Safety
The single-mode OS2 fiber is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The LSZH jacket enhances safety by emitting low toxic fumes if combusted, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and data centers with strict fire safety requirements.
Enhanced Connectivity
Numbered and color-coded LC connectors indicate polarity for easy installation and maintenance, reducing configuration errors. The cable is backward compatible with OS1 standards, providing flexibility for network upgrades and integration with existing infrastructure.
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to LC fiber optic patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in data centers, enterprise server rooms, and telecommunications installations. Its 100Gbps capability supports high-bandwidth applications such as data storage, cloud computing, and video streaming, where reliable, low-latency connections are critical.
The bend-insensitive design and 10mm loaded bend radius make it suitable for high-density patching areas, cable management systems, and installations with limited space. Common use cases include linking switches to servers, connecting storage area network (SAN) devices, and establishing backbone links between network distribution frames.
Data Center Patching
Use this cable for patching between network switches, routers, and servers in data center environments. The LC connectors and duplex design support bidirectional data transmission, optimizing rack space and simplifying cable management.
Long-Distance Links
Deploy this OS2 single-mode cable for long-distance network links exceeding 10 kilometers. The laser-optimized fiber and low attenuation ensure signal integrity over extended distances, making it suitable for campus networks and metropolitan area connections.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this fiber optic cable?
This StarTech.com fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications including data centers, cloud computing, and enterprise storage systems. The OS2 single-mode fiber and laser-optimized design ensure reliable performance at this speed over distances up to 25 meters (82 feet).
What types of connectors are on each end of this cable?
Both ends of this cable feature LC connectors with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish. Each end has 2 x LC Network - Male connectors in a duplex configuration, providing bidirectional data transmission. The UPC polish offers improved return loss of ≥55dB compared to standard PC polish, reducing signal reflection for more stable connections.
Is this cable suitable for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces?
Yes, this cable is designed with an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket that emits low toxic fumes if combusted, making it safe for use in enclosed spaces, data centers, and poorly ventilated areas. This safety feature complies with fire safety regulations and reduces health risks in case of fire.
What does bend-insensitive fiber mean for installation?
Bend-insensitive fiber refers to the cable's ability to maintain performance when bent tightly during installation. This cable has a loaded bend radius of 10mm (0.39 inches), allowing it to navigate tight spaces in cable management systems without signal degradation. The Aramid-reinforced jacket protects the fiber core, enabling complex installations in high-density patching areas.
Can this cable be used with existing OS1 fiber infrastructure?
Yes, this OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable is backward compatible with OS1 standards, allowing seamless integration with existing network infrastructure.
