StarTech SMDOS2SCSC5M 5M SC-SC Duplex OS2 Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable
Overview
This 5-meter StarTech SMDOS2SCSC5M duplex fiber optic cable provides a reliable link for high-speed data transmission. It features OS2 single-mode fiber, ideal for extending network connections over longer distances or between network closets and server rooms. The cable is constructed with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern, such as in commercial buildings or data centers. The SMDOS2SCSC5M supports data rates up to 100Gbps, ensuring it meets the demands of modern network infrastructure.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with network equipment featuring SC duplex connectors. It is compatible with StarTech's own line of network switches, media converters, and transceivers, as well as third-party devices requiring OS2 single-mode fiber connectivity. The 9/125µm fiber size is standard for single-mode applications, and the LSZH jacket makes it suitable for plenum spaces where applicable.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). Maintain a bend radius of at least 2mm during installation to prevent damage and signal degradation. The insertion loss is rated at 0.3dB, and return loss at 55dB, ensuring signal integrity for critical network links.
