Product Features
Technical Overview
This OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic cable is engineered for 100 Gbps data transfer rates and supports Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across 1260–1625 nm wavelengths. The 9/125 µm fiber construction delivers extended channel isolation over long distances, with an insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB and a return loss of ≥55 dB.
The cable's bend-insensitive design allows a loaded bend radius of 10 mm, facilitating tight installations without compromising performance. Each connector is numbered and color-coded for easy polarity identification, and the cable is individually tested with a performance report included.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This fiber optic patch cable combines advanced optical performance with robust physical construction to meet the needs of high-speed network infrastructure.
Superior Signal Integrity
UPC polished LC connectors minimize back reflection and insertion loss, ensuring reliable data transmission for 100G networks and backward compatibility with OS1 standards.
Enhanced Safety and Durability
The LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes if combusted, making it safe for use in enclosed spaces. The aramid-reinforced jacket and bend-insensitive fiber core provide excellent micro-bend resistance.
Easy Installation and Identification
Numbered and color-coded connectors simplify polarity management, while the flexible design supports complex routing in racks and cabinets without performance degradation.
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to LC OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic cable is ideal for high-density data center environments, enterprise network backbones, and telecommunications infrastructure. Its 100G capability and low attenuation make it suitable for long-distance connections between network switches, servers, and storage arrays.
Common applications include patching in fiber distribution panels, connecting transceivers in network equipment, and supporting CWDM systems. The cable's EMI immunity and flame-retardant properties also make it a reliable choice for industrial and secure facility installations.
Data Center Patching
Connect switches, routers, and servers in high-speed data centers with minimal signal loss and easy polarity management.
Network Backbone Links
Establish reliable long-distance connections between network segments using OS2 single-mode fiber for optimal performance over extended runs.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this fiber optic cable?
This StarTech.com fiber optic cable is 8 meters long, which is equivalent to 26.2 feet. This length is suitable for patching between equipment in data centers, server rooms, or network cabinets without excessive slack or tension.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature LC/UPC connectors, with two male connectors on each end in a duplex configuration. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal integrity in high-speed networks.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This OS2 single-mode fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps. It is optimized for high-speed network applications, including 100G Ethernet, and is backward compatible with lower-speed standards like 10G or 40G.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes the cable safer for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, such as data centers or industrial environments, by reducing health hazards during combustion.
Is this cable bend-insensitive?
Yes, this cable features bend-insensitive fiber technology, allowing a loaded bend radius of 10 mm without significant signal loss. This design facilitates tight bends in complex installations, such as around corners or in crowded racks, while maintaining performance.
What is the difference between OS1 and OS2 fiber?
OS2 single-mode fiber, used in this cable, has lower attenuation and supports longer distances compared to OS1. It is optimized for high-speed networks like 100G and is laser-optimized for wavelengths from 1260 to 1625 nm, making it ideal for data center and long-haul applications.
