Description

StarTech SMDOS2LCLC8M OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The StarTech SMDOS2LCLC8M is an 8-meter (26.2 ft) OS2 single-mode duplex fiber optic cable designed for high-bandwidth network connections. It utilizes 9/125 micron fiber and features UPC duplex LC connectors on both ends, ensuring reliable data transmission for demanding applications like surveillance systems, data centers, and high-speed networking. The low insertion loss of 0.3dB and return loss of 55dB minimize signal degradation, critical for maintaining data integrity over distance.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard duplex LC connectors for OS2 single-mode fiber. This includes a wide range of network switches, routers, transceivers (like SFP, SFP+, QSFP+), and media converters from various manufacturers. It is suitable for use with 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and up to 100Gbps Ethernet connections, making it a versatile choice for upgrading or expanding existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 2mm outer diameter jacket made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent. The minimum bend radius is 10mm, allowing for installation in tight spaces without compromising signal performance. It operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
