Yellow duplex fibre cable with two SC UPC connectors on each end, one metre length

STARTECH

STARTECH SMDOS2SCSC1M 1m SC/SC UPC OS2 9/125 Duplex Fibre Optic Cable

SKU CH-T2K2-7ZX0X

Single-mode duplex fibre cable with SC/UPC connectors for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps links

  • SC/SC UPC connectors ensure precise single-mode alignment
  • OS2 9/125 µm fibre supports 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps links
  • 1 m (3.3 ft) length suits short rack-to-rack runs
  • Duplex construction provides independent transmit and receive paths
  • LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in fire

Single-Mode Duplex Link

This StarTech SMDOS2SCSC1M cable is a one-metre SC-to-SC UPC duplex patch cord built to OS2 single-mode 9/125 µm specifications. It is intended for network engineers and installers who need a low-insertion-loss jumper for long-haul or campus fibre runs. The LSZH jacket suits indoor installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are required.

Suited For Long-Haul Single-Mode Runs

The cable suits builders who need a factory-terminated duplex link rated for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet over single-mode fibre. Installers who require multimode cabling or a different connector polish such as APC cannot use this cord. Buyers needing longer reach or higher fibre counts should look at other assemblies.

OS2 9/125 µm Single-Mode Rating

The OS2 9/125 µm single-mode rating is the specification that decides whether this is the right part. Only links designed for this exact fibre geometry and UPC polish will meet the 40G and 100G performance targets. Confirm the network design calls for OS2 single-mode duplex before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1 m length or a longer run for my patch panel?

The 1 m length suits rack-to-rack links inside a cabinet; longer runs add attenuation and should only be used when the distance demands it.

What does the 40 G / 100 G rating mean when the cable is installed?

It indicates the cable supports 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet over the 9/125 µm single-mode fibre when paired with compatible transceivers.

How do the SC/UPC connectors limit performance in practice?

SC/UPC ferrules provide low insertion loss for OS2 single-mode fibre; the physical contact polish caps return loss but does not restrict the 40 G / 100 G throughput.
