Description

StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-8M OS2 Single Mode Fiber Cable

Overview

The StarTech SMLCSC-OS2-8M is an 8-meter OS2 single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in surveillance, networking, and telecommunications environments. It features duplex LC connectors on one end and duplex SC connectors on the other, facilitating connections between different types of fiber optic equipment. This cable is ideal for extending network connections where higher bandwidth and longer distances are required, supporting up to 100Gbps data rates over its 9/125 micron fiber core.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network devices, switches, NVRs, or servers equipped with duplex LC and duplex SC fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with equipment requiring OS2 single-mode fiber, commonly found in enterprise networking, data centers, and high-bandwidth surveillance systems that utilize fiber optic uplinks for camera connectivity or NVR backhaul.

Installation Notes

The cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, suitable for installations where fire safety regulations require reduced smoke and toxic fume emissions. The minimum bend radius is 10mm, loaded or unloaded, requiring careful routing to avoid kinks or excessive stress. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C, and humidity should be maintained between 40% and 70%.
