StarTech.com Single Mode OS2 LC to SC Fibre Optic Patch Lead, 5m

The StarTech.com Single Mode OS2 LC to SC Fibre Optic Patch Lead is a high-performance, 5-metre simplex cable designed for robust and reliable connectivity in demanding network environments. Optimised for 40 and 100 Gigabit networks, this patch lead supports bi-directional (BiDi) transmission over a single fibre, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained installations where minimising fibre count is essential.

Constructed with a bend-insensitive fibre core housed within an Aramid-reinforced jacket, the cable offers exceptional durability and protection against signal loss in tight bends. It is engineered to exceed key industry standards, including ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1, ensuring superior performance and future-proofing your infrastructure. The cable is also fully backwards compatible with OS1 and 1/10/40Gb/s networks, providing versatile integration into existing systems.

Safety is paramount, which is why the cable features a flame-retardant, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) rated jacket. This makes it safer for installation in all environments, particularly in public spaces or enclosed areas where toxic fumes must be minimised in the event of a fire. The high-quality LC and SC connectors feature UPC polished ends for low insertion loss and high return loss, guaranteeing a stable and clear optical signal.
