Description

Black Box FOSM-005M-SCLC OS2 Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The Black Box FOSM-005M-SCLC is a 9/125 micron OS2 singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable, high-bandwidth data transmission over extended distances. This cable features LC connectors on both ends, making it suitable for connecting network devices like IP cameras, NVRs, and switches in environments where standard copper cabling falls short. Its singlemode construction minimizes signal loss and dispersion, crucial for maintaining data integrity in demanding surveillance deployments.

Compatibility

This FOSM-005M-SCLC cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of IP cameras, network switches, media converters, and NVRs from various manufacturers that utilize singlemode fiber connectivity for backbone or long-haul runs. It is particularly useful for extending network reach beyond the 100-meter limit of Ethernet cables in large facilities, campuses, or between buildings.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure the LC connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends (minimum bend radius is typically 20mm for OS2 singlemode) to prevent fiber damage and signal loss. The cable is designed for indoor use and should be protected from excessive moisture, temperature fluctuations, and physical stress.
