StarTech.com 1m LC to SC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable 9/125µm 100G

StarTech.com 1m LC to SC OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable (9/125µm) provides reliable connectivity for 100G networks. Designed for OS2 single mode fiber, this 1 metre duplex patch cable supports CWDM across the extended wavelength range of 1260–1625 nm and is backward compatible with OS1 networks. The cable uses bend-insensitive fiber and an LSZH jacket for safer installations in confined or poorly ventilated environments.

Advantages

This LC to SC OS2 single mode duplex cable delivers low attenuation and consistent performance that meets ITU-T G.652.D/G.657.A1 and IEC 60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1 requirements. UPC-polished connectors and precision ceramic ferrules provide accurate alignment and insertion loss below 0.3 dB, while the bend-insensitive core reduces signal loss in tight routing. Each cable is factory-tested for insertion loss and supplied with a test report.

Suitable for

• High-speed data links up to 100G between switches, servers and transceivers
• CWDM deployments requiring 1260–1625 nm wavelength support
• Data centre and telecom backbone connections
• Installations in confined or poorly ventilated spaces requiring LSZH jacket

How to use

Route the duplex LC–SC cable between equipment by matching connector types (LC to LC or LC to SC port as required) and observe proper polarity for transmit/receive channels. Avoid tight bends and maintain the cable bend radius specified by the installation environment. Plug connectors firmly into ports until they click; confirm link status on network devices and verify performance using the included insertion loss test report if required.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, limit bending around sharp corners, keep connector end faces clean and capped when not in use, and store cables in a dry, dust-free environment. Use the LSZH-rated jacket in areas where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required by regulation or safety policy.
