StarTech.com 8m LC σε SC OS2 Single-Mode Duplex καλώδιο patch οπτικών ινών, 9/125µm, LSZH, κίτρινο

When network downtime is not an option and distances exceed the limits of multimode fiber, this 8-meter OS2 single-mode duplex fiber patch cable delivers the reach and reliability your infrastructure demands. With LC to SC UPC connectors, it bridges the gap between modern SFP/SFP+ transceivers and legacy patch panels, ensuring seamless integration in enterprise backbones, data centers, and campus networks.

Who is it for

Network engineers, data center technicians, and IT professionals deploying Gigabit Ethernet, 10G, 40G, or 100G links over long distances. It is ideal for connecting switches, routers, media converters, and fiber termination boxes that require LC and SC interfaces. The single-mode OS2 fiber supports wavelengths up to 1550 nm, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications like Fibre Channel and InfiniBand.

Tips

For best performance, always clean the connector end faces before installation using a fiber optic cleaning tool. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 30 mm for this type) to prevent signal loss. When connecting to SFP modules, ensure the transceiver supports single-mode fiber and the correct wavelength (1310 nm or 1550 nm). Store unused cables with dust caps on to protect the polished ferrules.
