Fiber Optic Patch Cable StarTech 1m SC to SC OM1 62.5/125 10G LSZH Full Duplex

The StarTech 1m SC to SC OM1 62.5/125 Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a 1‑meter multimode duplex cable with SC male connectors on both ends. It uses OM1 multimode fiber (62.5/125 µm) and supports short‑reach 1/10 Gbps networks. The cable jacket is LSZH (Low‑Smoke, Zero‑Halogen) to reduce smoke and toxic fumes in the event of fire, making it suitable for installations where safety and compliance with building codes are important.

Advantages

This SC‑to‑SC fiber patch cord is immune to electromagnetic interference and provides reliable full‑duplex two‑fiber transmission for networking and telecom links. The SC connectors with UPC endfaces and molded strain reliefs improve signal integrity and mechanical durability. Each cable is individually tested for optical insertion loss to ensure compatibility and dependable performance, and the product is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunications equipment and patch panels
• Short‑reach 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps multimode network links
• Industrial sites, central offices and schools where LSZH is required
• Residential installations that must meet low‑smoke safety requirements

When it may not be suitable

This OM1 (62.5/125 µm) multimode cable is intended for short‑reach applications; it is not designed for long‑haul single‑mode links or environments requiring higher modal bandwidth for extended 10 Gbps distances. If you need longer reach or higher bandwidth performance, consider multimode OM3/OM4 or single‑mode fiber alternatives.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m (3.3 ft)
• Connector type: SC male to SC male (duplex)
• Fiber type: Multimode OM1
• Core/cladding diameter: 62.5/125 µm
• Supported network speed: 1/10 Gbps (short‑reach)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low‑Smoke, Zero‑Halogen)
• Cable outer diameter: 2.9 mm
• Color: Orange

How to use

Connect each SC connector to the corresponding SC port on the network devices or patch panels, observing TX/RX polarity to ensure correct transmit and receive alignment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the molded strain reliefs help protect the connector ends. Verify link integrity with appropriate test equipment after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required reach and whether OM1 bandwidth meets your 10 Gbps distance requirements
• Compatibility of SC connectors with your existing equipment or panels
• Whether LSZH jacket is required by site safety or building codes
• Number of strands/duplex requirement for your application

Usage recommendations

For best performance, maintain gentle bend radii, keep connectors clean and test insertion loss after installation. Choose OM3/OM4 or single‑mode fiber if your network requires longer 10 Gbps reach or higher modal bandwidth.
