StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-5M OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable
Overview
The StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-5M is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. It features LC duplex connectors on one end and SC duplex connectors on the other, facilitating connections between network devices like switches, servers, and transceivers. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material ensures safety in plenum spaces and areas with strict fire codes, making it suitable for installations where cable flammability is a concern. This cable is engineered to support data rates up to 100Gbps, ensuring future-proof performance for demanding network applications.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with network equipment utilizing LC and SC duplex fiber optic ports. It is suitable for connecting devices such as SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers, as well as switches, routers, and servers that require OS2 single-mode fiber connectivity. Specific compatible product families include network switches from major vendors requiring LC or SC duplex connections, and servers equipped with fiber optic network interface cards (NICs).
Installation Notes
The cable has an outer diameter of 2 mm and operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The LSZH jacket is designed for reduced smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to maintain optimal signal integrity. The maximum insertion loss is rated at 0.3dB, and return loss is 55dB, critical metrics for maintaining signal quality over distance.
