Description

StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-50M Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-50M is a 50-meter (164 ft) OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic patch cable designed to reliably connect network devices over extended distances. Its low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety is a critical concern. This cable supports high-speed data transfer rates up to 100Gbps, making it ideal for backbone connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance surveillance systems.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to connect devices featuring LC duplex connectors to devices with SC duplex connectors. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, routers, servers, and fiber optic transceivers that utilize these specific connector types. The OS2 single-mode fiber classification ensures optimal performance for 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps Ethernet standards, including 1000BASE-LX, 10GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and 100GBASE-LR4 applications.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 2mm outer diameter (OD) jacket, providing a balance between flexibility and durability. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C, and it is designed to function in 40% - 70% humidity. Maintain a minimum bend radius of approximately 25mm (1 inch) to prevent damage to the fiber core. Insertion loss is rated at 0.3dB, and return loss at 55dB, ensuring signal integrity.
