Fiber Optic Cable StarTech.com SPSMLCSC-OS2-10M 10m LC to SC Single Mode 9/125µm

StarTech.com SPSMLCSC-OS2-10M is a 10m LC to SC single mode (9/125µm) OS2 fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission over 40G/100G networks. The cable supports Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across an extended wavelength range (1260–1625 nm), and its LSZH jacket makes it suitable for installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required. Each cable is individually tested for insertion loss and supplied with a test report.

Advantages

The OS2 single mode construction and 9/125µm core provide low attenuation and compatibility with legacy OS1 systems. UPC-polished LC to SC terminations and precision ceramic ferrules ensure consistent insertion loss below 0.3 dB and improved return loss compared with older PC polishing. Bend-insensitive fiber design reduces signal loss in tight routing environments. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket limits smoke and toxic fume emission in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• 40G and 100G CWDM network links
• Connections between simplex patch panels, SFP transceivers, and fiber NICs
• Legacy OS1 to OS2 network migration and mixed environments
• Installations requiring LSZH cabling (trains, aircraft, confined or poorly ventilated spaces)

How to use

Verify that equipment ports match LC and SC UPC terminations before connecting. Route the patch cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain bend radius recommended by the equipment or fiber manufacturer. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each connector clicks or seats fully. Confirm link status on network devices and check signal quality using available diagnostics or the supplied insertion loss test report if required.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid repeated flexing near connector ends, keep connectors capped when not in use, and follow site-specific grounding and cable management practices. Use LSZH cabling where building codes or confined environments require low smoke and halogen-free materials.
