StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-20M OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cable
Overview
The StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-20M is a 20-meter (65.6 ft) OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed to bridge network equipment. It features LC duplex connectors on one end and SC duplex connectors on the other, facilitating connections between devices like network switches, NVRs, or servers that utilize different fiber optic port types. The OS2 classification ensures performance for longer distances and higher bandwidth applications, making it suitable for connecting surveillance recorders to network infrastructure or extending network reach within a facility. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material provides enhanced safety in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety is critical.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for general-purpose fiber optic networking. It is compatible with any network equipment featuring LC Duplex and SC Duplex single-mode fiber ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, fiber media converters, Network Video Recorders (NVRs), and servers from various manufacturers. Specifically, it's suited for connecting devices that require high-speed data transmission up to 100Gbps, such as enterprise-grade switches or high-density surveillance systems.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) and has a low insertion loss of 0.3dB, ensuring signal integrity. The 9/125 micron fiber core is protected by a 2mm diameter LSZH jacket. Handle with care to avoid kinking or damaging the fiber strands, especially when routing through tight spaces. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain optimal performance and prevent premature wear.
