Fiber Optic Cable StarTech.com SMFIBLCLC4 4m LC/LC

The StarTech.com SMFIBLCLC4 is a 4 m LC-to-LC single-mode duplex fiber optic cable with a 9/125 µm (OS1) core. Designed for high-speed, high-bandwidth data transmission over Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel networks, this LC/LC patch cable delivers reliable duplex single-mode connectivity while using an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for reduced smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire.

Advantages

This 4 m LC/LC single-mode fiber cable provides low insertion loss and consistent performance suitable for long-distance, high-bandwidth links. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke, toxicity and corrosive by-products in the event of a fire, making the cable appropriate for industrial, commercial and residential installations where safety standards or building codes require low-halogen materials. Each cable is individually tested to meet optical insertion loss limits and is covered by the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet backbone and fiber uplinks
• Fiber Channel storage networks
• Data centers and telecom central offices
• Industrial sites, schools and residential buildings requiring LSZH cabling

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before installation. Align the LC connectors with the device or patch panel ports and push gently until the latch clicks into place. Use proper cable routing and strain relief to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber. For removal, depress the LC latch and pull the connector straight out. Store the cable coiled loosely when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best optical performance, keep connectors capped until ready for use and clean fiber endfaces with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools. Avoid tight bends, crushing or exposure to high temperatures. Use LSZH cable where building codes or safety requirements specify low-smoke, zero-halogen materials.
